@TheoL Absolutely you can use it in a presentation. It might be useful (or not) to know that node 105 is a refrigerator/freezer combo, node 102 and 103 are in the same refrigerator/freezer, and node 100 is a chest freezer I have an external thermostat on and I use it as a refrigerator.

@Ironbar no worries, the search function can be a bit uncooperating sometimes

Looks Good!

@Dwalt Sure. Here it is on thingiverse: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1410004 @mfalkvidd The battery holder is a single holder with two AA batteries. The batteries are ran in series. To be honest, I can't remember where I bought the holders but I like them because they clip on like a 9 volt so you can easily disconnect the battery holder from your project.

@Ironbar I did some test with the nrf24l01 the one that come with the pa + lna amplifier (100mw) and get more than a 1km on LOS. you may also try the RFM69HW.. the one that has 20dbm output.

Thank you! That pointed me in the right direction.

I have almost the same. In my node , I have a serie for a time, message are received by GW, but the ack is not sent properly... It's always the same child with the problem. Sometimes, the child 3 works, sometimes not... I don't see why this one !!!! and most of the time everything works ! send: 102-102-151-0 s=1,c=1,t=0,pt=7,l=5,sg=0,st=ok:7.0 Humidity: 99.90 send: 102-102-151-0 s=0,c=1,t=1,pt=7,l=5,sg=0,st=ok:99.9 send: 102-102-151-0 s=9,c=1,t=23,pt=3,l=2,sg=0,st=ok:1 send: 102-102-151-0 s=7,c=1,t=24,pt=7,l=5,sg=0,st=ok:3910242.0 send: 102-102-151-0 s=2,c=1,t=8,pt=7,l=5,sg=0,st=ok:12.1 vitesse moy: 12.12 vitesse max(rafale): 23.91 send: 102-102-151-0 s=3,c=1,t=9,pt=7,l=5,sg=0,st=fail:23.9 send: 102-102-151-0 s=8,c=1,t=25,pt=7,l=5,sg=0,st=ok:0.0 Quantite pluie temporaire de l'heure: 0.00```

I did manage to figure out a work around for this problem: I created a virtual switch called Dead Node Alert. This gives me a visual switch that shows if all nodes are responding or if one has failed to report. I then use PLEG and set two conditions: 1) compares last update vs. current time. If more than x seconds since ANY nodes have reported they flip the switch to off. 2) compares last update vs current time. If less than x seconds since ALL nodes have reported then its flips the switch on. So now I don't have to worry about stuff in my freezer spoiling if my temperature sensor does not respond and my freezer quits. Sure beats looking at all the last updates to make sure they are responding. If anyone needs example PLEG conditions or inputs let me know. It would be great if this were native to the plugin somehow!

@Ironbar Sorry, I was't clear on my previous post. Initially, I went through two (2) Uno's to test my connected sensors and received similar fail messages as yours. Thinking both Uno's were bad , I decided to used a Nano instead. And that's when everything started to work. It is obvious but it took me a while to figure this out. The Uno's consumes slightly more Amperage than the Nano's as a result the radio wasn't able to keep up with the power from the Arduino Uno. What I've learned is these radios don't work well when power is shared with the Arduino and you have bunch of sensor hook to it. Especially under burst transmission over a short period of time.
