@sundberg84 I have tried a number of power suppliers which dont seem to make a noticeable difference. I have just ordered a pa/lna nrf to use on my gateway, so when it arrives i will see if that makes a difference. Has anyone got any tips for testing performance of nrf modules to help determine if they are fakes/clones and if that might be affecting performance? I buy them from ebay, but try and use UK only sellers but i guess thats no guarantee that they are good modules!
hi @sundberg84 thanks for the reply
Firstly, all myNRF24L01+ have a capacitor installed. The gateway is just a standard NRF24L01+ no pa/lna version, I guess i could put a pa/lna radio on it? The distance is already pretty close (within about a 5m radius). I guess i need to check the quality of my NRF24L01+'s in case they are nasty clones? Another factor is that my WiFi access-point is directly next to my mysensors gateway (its all in my server cupboard). I imagine this could be causing interference?
Hey guys
First a bit of background, I've been getting into my sensors slowly over the past few months, i dont have great deal of time to code and build sensors. Up until now I've been successfully running a serial gateway on an uno connected to a server running domoticz plus two remote temperature nodes. These have been running perfectly.
I've recently been working on a new project to build a dimmer based on the rotary dimmer sketch. The dimmer unit performs perfectly locally, i.e controller via the rotary knob. However control via domoticz has been a little sketchy.
One way communication from the dimmer node to Domoticz seems to work well, i.e. when i turn the rotary knob on the dimmer, domoticz displays the dimmer level and on/off state accordingly. However controlling the dimmer from Domoticz is very sketchy, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesnt and i get an error from domoticz saying it couldnt send the command.
I've performed some debugging by accessing the serial console on the gateway and the dimmer node and noticed that i was getting st=fails on both devices. Both nodes have been decoupled and seem to have stable power supplies.
The following is a screengrab of the serial consoles, the gateway on the left, dimmer on the right. This shows me turning the rotary knob. As you can see, sometimes it works, and sometimes i get st=fail.
Any ideas people?!

Wow amazing prompt reply! I thought that might be the case as i could find any documentation. Thanks for the reply though. 
Just getting started with mysensors and would like to know if its possible to have sensors directly attached to the gateway arduino? I cant find any examples of such a configuration but seems like it might be useful in certain situations.
Thanks in advance!
