@pw44 MY_DEBUG is usually enough. https://www.mysensors.org/build/debug#enabling-debug-and-monitoring-the-logs and https://forum.mysensors.org/topic/666/read-this-first-it-could-save-you-a-lot-of-time/ can be useful.

@mfalkvidd may this problem be related with eeprom stored vars? i will clear the eeproms and flash gatewayand nodes again.

@pw44 downgraded ESP from 3.0.1 to 2.7.4 and issue is gone.

@Yveaux Thx for the hint! BR

A guide for converting sketches using MySensors 1.5 to MySensors 2 is available at https://forum.mysensors.org/topic/4276/converting-a-sketch-from-1-5-x-to-2-0-x

I am pretty sure there are already some posts about that, did you study those? They will probably be helpful in getting you started. Other than that, post whatever specific problems you run into as you go along, and you will be more likely to get some specific replies.

@mfalkvidd Thx for the reply. It makes sense.

Agree with @Yveaux. V_ARMED can be used in battery powered door sensors to preserve battery, or to reduce traffic. don't send V_TRIPPED if V_ARMED is not set. Sounding alarm is controller's decision.

@pw44 The HA integrations page has useful information of how it al works together, check the presentation paragraph as it is important in HA. The node sketch shall make use of these defs for HA. Is it right? So, on a node sensor, i can have from 0 to 255 child_id's, each with it's name. But how to give a name for each child, if more than one sensor is connected to the node? The name can me customized in the presentation function in the description field: https://www.mysensors.org/apidocs/group__MySensorsCoregrp.html#gaef20c35998db495bd4c85bac42a7ad49 bool present ( const uint8_t sensorId, const mysensors_sensor_t sensorType, const char * description = "", const bool requestEcho = false ) Is this all right? if not, please educate me in the right way. And i'm also getting the following: This entity does not have a unique ID, therefore its settings cannot be managed from the UI. Any hint? This is a normal error in current versions of HA, the mysensors integration is still manual via YAML and cannot be managed from the HA FrontEnd.

Please read carefully the HA documentation: https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/mysensors/ There it says that you need to present your node to HA by sending initial value of the node. Then HA adds it to its device list. if (!initialValueSent) { Serial.println("Sending initial value"); send(msg.set(state?RELAY_ON:RELAY_OFF)); Serial.println("Requesting initial value from controller"); request(CHILD_ID, V_STATUS); wait(2000, C_SET, V_STATUS); }

I have two cheapo ebay NRF24L01+PA+LNA. As has been posted elsewhere nearly all are fake. I only use one at a time for my gateway. I had to do lots of fiddling to get them to communicate with my nodes . This included shielding and using an aluminium plate as a ground plane (someone criticized this but it worked for me). Ive posted about it somewhere on here. More recently I took delivery of a shielded Ebyte module and it has worked great. I have loads of the cheap NRF24L01+ modules in my nodes. Some I have added 12.5cm antennas and some dipole antennas. It does make a difference if drop outs are a problem on the more distant ones.

@NeoX i gave up the w5100 gateway (uno r3 + w5100 shiled + NRF24L01+PA-LNA). the gateway with NRF24L01+ and Wemos D1 mini is working flawlessly the last two days - so, it will be the way to go.

For some reason the Gateway uses IP=255.255.255.255 (which is not a valid IP address) instead of the one you specified. There is plenty of free ram after compiling the sketch, so ram shouldn't be a problem. There have been a few similar reports earlier. https://forum.mysensors.org/post/82366 seems to be the only one that has a suggested solution. Which version of the Arduino IDE and which AVR board version are you using?

I think you should stop spamming the same topic in a bunch of different threads. In fact, I think mods should merge and/or delete all these secondary threads, and possibly even warn.

How are you troubleshooting? Monitoring serial? Network?

@pw44 no, mysensors doesn't need it for soft spi and won't use it
