Today I've resoldered the ESP8266 Chip.
Everything works perfect.
Thanks for your help!

@mfalkvidd
It seems that ESP8266 doesn't support SOFTSPI

In file included from /home/numanx/Arduino/ESP8266OTA/ESP8266OTA.ino:120:0:
/home/andreihering/Arduino/libraries/MySensors/MySensors.h:248:2: error: #error Soft SPI is not available on ESP8266

Finally got it!
It seems that I have a problem with the ESP8266.
After about 24 Hours of debugging I found the problem...

Steps:
Checked if the wiring is good with a multimeter probe on each pin of the adapter(which I know it worked) and each pin of the radio to verify the correct pinout.
It seems that the pinout was ok and the wiring was also ok.
Write a sketch with all the ports from D2 to D8 in output HIGH and with a little buzzer I've tested each pin.
It seems that D7 doesn't give voltage.
Checked the pinout diagram for the ESP-12E. Checked for continuity between GPIO13(from the chip) and D7 and there was no continuity.
Tried to connect the radio MOSI Pin directly to GPIO13 and IT WORKED!

Is there any way to move the MOSI pin from the board to another digital pin from ESP8266?
Thanks!

Here are the photos of the ESP8266 board, NR24L01+ and the wiring.

Ok, I've solved the problem with the Wireless SSID and password by uploading the HelloServer sketch from the ESP8266 examples.
Now I rewire the ESP8266 and Radio and I will post some photos.

Now I have another problem...
I've tried to change the Wireless SSID and Password in the sketch and it seems that after uploading on the ESP8266 it doesn't update them. I've tried clearing EEPROM memory and now the ESP8266 seems to be stucked in the AP mode and I have some strange characters when I open Serial Monitor...

@NeverDie
The board selected is NodeMCU 1.0 (ESP-12E module)
I've tried suplying the adapter with 3.3v and also with 5V.

@mfalkvidd
Now the radio is connected directly to the ESP8266 but still I have the same error.

@sundberg84 @NeverDie
Thanks for your answers.
I've connected the ESP8266 and NRF24L01+ exactly as described in Connecting the Radio(https://www.mysensors.org/build/connect_radio) at the NRF24L01+ & ESP8266 section.
Still the same error, I've tried rewiring a couple of times using different wires.

@sundberg84
The ESP8266 was running from my PC using a usb cable.
I've tried to power the NRF24L01+ from the ESP8266 directly with dupont cable also I've tried through the Socket adapter plate board. I've tried to power the NRF24L01+ from a 5V power supply. The NRF24L01+ ground was common with the ESP8266 ground and the VCC on the adapter(which pass through the 5V to 3.3V regulator and then to NRF24L01+) was connected from the 5V power supply.

I am using the NodeMCU as described in the following link https://www.mysensors.org/build/connect_radio#nrf24l01+-&-esp8266

This is the sketch that I'm using.

Hello,
I have a problem using an ESP8266 and a NRF24L01+ module.
I followed all the steps from this guide https://forum.mysensors.org/topic/666/debug-faq-and-how-ask-for-help and still it won't work.
I am using an adapter like this https://www.aliexpress.com/item/5pcs-Socket-Adapter-Module-Board-for-NRF24L01-Wireless-Module/32368381876.html for converting the power and for power stability.
I have two NRF24L01+ modules and I've tested them with an Arduino Nano which it works.
I can't get it to work with ESP8266, I've checked the wirings multiple times.
Arduino IDE 1.6.8 with latest version of MySensors Library on Linux and Mac OS X using an ESP8266 and NRF24L01+
I've tried to power the module directly from ESP8266 and separately from a 5V PSU with the 5V regulator adapter and common ground with the ESP8266.

Thanks for your help!

This is the serial monitor error:

Found this on arduino.cc forum.
I think there should be a way for creating different servo objects for each servo but I don't know how to do that.

Any sugestion from @mfalkvidd ?

#include <Servo.h>

 Servo myservo[6]; 
  
int pinAttch = 0;    // variable to store pin attachment
int servWrite = 0;    // variable to store servo writing

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(9600);
  for(pinAttch = 2; pinAttch < 7; pinAttch++)
    {                                                
    myservo[pinAttch].attach(pinAttch);
    }  
  }

void loop() {

for(servWrite = 2; servWrite < 7; servWrite++)
  {                                                
   
  myservo[servWrite].write(80);
  delay(2000);

  }
exit(0); 

}```

Ok so here is the sketch with the for cycles.
But it still won't work. The servos are presented to the Controller but it won't make any move.
I think the problem is with the void receive.
I don't know how to change

   	digitalWrite(message.sensor-1+RELAY_1, message.getBool()?RELAY_ON:RELAY_OFF);

for the servo

     myservo.write(SERVO_MAX + (SERVO_MIN-SERVO_MAX)/100 * 1.8 * val); // sets the servo position 0-180

Hi there,
Could someone help me with a sketch for running multiple servos.
Like in the example for the Relay Actuator
#define SERVO_1 3 // Arduino Digital I/O pin number for first relay (second on pin+1 etc)

                // a maximum of eight servo objects can be created Sensor gw(9,10);
unsigned long timeOfLastChange = 0;
bool attachedServo = false;
bool state;

void setup()
{

  request(CHILD_ID, V_DIMMER);
}

  // Register all sensors to gw (they will be created as child devices)

}

void loop()
{
  if (attachedServo && millis() - timeOfLastChange > DETACH_DELAY) {
     myservo.detach();
     attachedServo = false;
  }
}

void receive(const MyMessage &message) {
  myservo.attach(SERVO_DIGITAL_OUT_PIN);
  attachedServo = true;

Hello,
I have an UPS Vmark 650MK and I want to monitor it through Arduino and Domoticz.

Can somebody help me with the code for reading the values from the panel?
I have 3 LED's, Normal State, Backup and Fault.
I want to read the values from those 3 LED's with HIGH and LOW / 1 and 0 in domoticz.

Here is the schematic for the front panel.

@gohan I understand what you are saying but if I am doing in that way I will spam the controller with the interrupts(flaps) right now it works like this
if pin=0 send the state of the pin(the next update is when pin state changes), if pin=1 send the state and wait for 10 seconds for the next update.

For the moment I have found a solution with millis[if(time%frequency==0)]:

time=millis()/1000;
if(time%10 ==0)

Any suggestion for improving this part?

Thank you for your reply!
The motion sensor part from the sketch works perfectly, the problem is with the temperature part.

If I am using wait or sleep for temperature, arduino won't listen the motion sensor until the time elapses.

If I am commenting the wait the sensor will spam the controller until the controller stop receiving data from arduino.

Hello,
I Want to use multiple sensors (motion sensor, temperature, rain sensor etc) on one Arduino MEGA.

For the moment I use a module with 4 relays, 2 Dallas temperature sensors, 1 motion sensor(I would like to change the sketch to use multiple motion sensor as the temperature example) and the problem is that I have to prioritize the sensors, for example I need update for the temperature sensors every 20-30 seconds but the motion sensor should update instantly.

Here is my code based on the MySensors examples.

Maybe you have the ENC28J60 module which is different than w5100.

try this code at the beginning of your sketch(using a mysensor's example)

you have to change the ip to match your subnet and try to ping it.

You can find the correct pinout here http://s3.electrodragon.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/172004eierrfwri9xsfamq-11.jpg

#define MY_GATEWAY_ENC28J60

#define MY_PORT 5003   
#define MY_MAC_ADDRESS 0xDE, 0xAD, 0xBE, 0xEF, 0xFE, 0xED

Could you send us a picture with the module?
