@Dylano

you cold try to modify this sketch:
https://github.com/n3roGit/MySensors_n3ro/tree/master/in_process/Multisensor_PIR_DHT_light_switch_battery
its not finished but there is all you need ;)

@Dylano the sketch send the battery percentage everytime the voltage is changed

@Dylano what do you mean with long readVcc?

The battery life is different because of the frequency of triggering from the pir.

Some nodes works for 2 month. Other ones for 6..

@Dylano

But I don't use the dht anymore.
https://github.com/n3roGit/MySensors_n3ro/tree/master/Multisensor_PIR_SI7021_LDA_Battery

This works much better!

@Dylano
Hey,
Yes it works very good with 2 aaa Batts.

You can find the read library here

@hek whats this?? :heart_eyes:

Hey folks,

what's the correct way to use repeating nodes?

I have build 3 usb powered LED-Lights and one of them is out of range...

Is it a good idea to enable repeating on every USB-powered node?

https://github.com/n3roGit/MySensors_n3ro/blob/master/moodlight_extended/moodlight_extended.ino

gw.begin(incomingMessage, NODE_ID, true);

Regards,
n3ro

@Anticimex like homeduino with:

sudo apt-get install arduino-core avr-libc avrdude binutils-avr gcc-avr libconfig-yaml-perl libftdi1 libyaml-perl screen python-serial
git clone --recursive https://github.com/pimatic/homeduino.git
make upload

yeah!

is it possible to update the gateway via shell?

@dakky Yes, this is because of the multiple sensors on my board. maybe somebody have more tuning tipps.

@dakky said:

1500uA

The sleeping current is ~240uA.

But it's possible to tune it a little bit more.

i hope i can buy this board in the near future =)

@riataman said:

with a 5v arduino

Hey =)
the operating voltage of this component is 1.9 to 3,6 v. not 5v =)

But the idea to remove the regulator to save a little bit energy is cool. i will try it =)

@icebob hey :) the used pir consumes ~50uA. Since my last modifications I replaced the stepup and the dht with a si7021 sensor and the external pullup with 1m ohm. Now the sleeping current is ~190uA

https://github.com/n3roGit/MySensors_n3ro/blob/master/Multisensor_PIR_SI7021_LDA_Battery/Multisensor_PIR_SI7021_LDA_Battery.ino

What do you mean with you recommenced sensors?

Jeah this is very cool!

My Idea is to change the sleep time when iam not at home or in the night.

Do you know the release time for 1.6?

Hey folks,

is it possible to queue commands on the gw to send it to the node later (like zwave)?

cenario:
1x battery powered node
1x mysensors gw

gw send "turn light on" to node (queue)
node is in deep sleep...
...
...
node wakes up and connect to the gw
gw transmit "turn light on" to the node
...

@tbowmo
why i cant see the debug information "ratio failed" or sending commands if debug is only enabled in the sketch? :)

Perfect =)

// Enable debug flag for debug prints. This will add a lot to the size of the final sketch but good
// to see what is actually is happening when developing
//#define DEBUG
