    • RE: Raspberry gateway: small range

      thanks @alowhum !
      so i'll just need 1 (one) like this for my gateway http://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/c4CU7enO ?
      could you post (pm) me an example for a "red eByte module" (your link for "nano wireless board" leads to searchpage for "nrf24l01 ebyte" - but they are all green...)? i usually have to wait ~60 days until i get my aliexpress orderer items, so i really would like to get the "right one" with my first order...

      and what's up with the nano wireless board?

      oh boi. had to connect the radio to the board mentioned in the opening post:
      alt text
      and connect the other boards to my raspberry... now it seems to work! unfortunately i can't test it because i'm not able to upload anything to my Sensebender Micro boards. now i'm waiting for my new ftdi programmer 😡

      is this right? and if so, how can i translate all this stuff? 👁

      ohhhhhhh. this makes sense:

      cool cool. now i just have to figure out how to define my items on the openhab part!

      so i took a good look but mostly i found your recommendation for the ebyte modules.
      are we talking about this one? https://it.aliexpress.com/item/CDEBYTE-2PCS-Lot-E01-ML01D-Wireless-Transceiver-For-Arduino-nRF24L01-2-4GHz-Antenna-Module-For-Microcontroll/32803704874.html?aff_platform=aaf&cpt=1542663609771&sk=cMM8rUbm&aff_trace_key=1fc52e06d7a94d0096aabebefb8bb607-1542663609771-06798-cMM8rUbm&terminal_id=f538d8e92d1f481098e725b32d788ce6

      i won't need a stabiliser for the Sensebender Micro board, right? on every build i found a radio connected directly mounted on the board...

      Sorry for the bis confusion...

    • Raspberry gateway: small range

      Hello!
      i was finally able to set up the gateway and some Sensebender Micro. But as i moved the nodes to different rooms i noticed that the gateway has very poor coverage 😞
      i used a Raspberry (1) with these components:
      https://it.gearbest.com/transmitters-receivers-module/pp_453011.html
      https://www.amazon.it/dp/B016BAPC0K/ref=pe_386201_41597321_TE_item

      The Sensebender Micro is equipped with only NRF24L01 Radio.

      What could i do to improve the gateways range? would NRF24L01 modules with antennas (f.e.: these) perform better or should i go with RFM69?

      cheers!
      Peter

      so now on i should ask here 😃
      i used one of these radios (recomendation from @gohan in 2017 :)): https://gearbest.com/transmitters-receivers-module/pp_453011.html and connected it accordingly (except i used 5v pin for VCC)
      first of all i don't understand why it's not working when there were just top c&p a few lines?

      an then i'm not really sure in general what i need to do. what i WANT to do:
      sensors > raspberry pi gateway > openhab controller
      mosquitto is running on my openhab installation, so mqtt would be ok. i searched for a while, but i couldn't find anything noob-proved...

      okay 😞
      i'll take a look around, hopefully i can get a few somewhere.
      does the log indicate that there's a problem with radio? (length?)

      the gateway "log" is some posts above.

      should i provide another log?

      i didn't use any capacitors, neither gateway, nor node.
      here isn't anything regarding capacitors.
      and [here](lhttps://www.mysensors.org/build/raspberry under section "NRF24L01+ Radio" it only says "If you are using the nrf24 PA/LNA version you need to use a 5V->3.3V regulator.", but i'm using these so i thought it's ok without using regulators.
      or is a regulator something different than a capacitor?

      ok, thought this would be auto assigned: "Define a static node address, remove if you want auto address assignment"
      new debug: everything ok with this sensor?
      debug

      Next Stop Gateway? Should i just try another radio?
