@richard-van-der-plas yes. Instead of making a different script for each sensor to change the delay, you can either use a random value or make node id * xxx ms and a fixed value if node id is not yet set.

@nick-willis mine is turned around, 2.1.1 nodes give the version 2.2.x gives the text row messing up mysensors

I bought them on aliexpress from the cdebyte shop. There are a few open topics about real and fake nrf24 if you want to read some more. As a general rule of thumb consider that the genuine nrf24 chip is normally sold around 1.2$ so you can't buy a fully assembled genuine module for less than a dollar.

The RPI3 usually draws between 0.2 to 0.7A so you should be fine on that side.

@ahmedadelhosni Alkaline, cheap "IKEA" batteries.. My units reports around 60% battery capacity left (very unscientifically measurements) About operating frequency. If you have a sleeping node, then you won't gain anything from using 1Mhz versus 8Mhz, on the contrary you might end up using more power, when using 1Mhz, than 8Mhz. Because the time that the MCU is awake is longer at 1Mhz, than at 8Mhz. Remember, that when the MCU is sleeping, the power usage is the same, regardless of what frequency the MCU is working at, because the oscillator is shut down. at 8Mhz you would complete your operation quicker, and return to sleep mode again faster, than when running at 1Mhz.

damn i think i found the issue, the presentation uses V_TRIPPED, that should be S_MOTION or S_DOOR, gonna try that tommorrow update 21-11, it indeed was the V_TRIPPED vs S_DOOR.

I made a pull request over on github, if @martinhjelmare accepts it we should be good to go.

@martinhjelmare changed the antennas again for another design, and send the level to max, and today it seems to be stable. Proof is in the pudding, he needs to control my aqarium lights twice a day. that's the one thats missing. al my sensors are power with power regulators, so that should be good. if the issue is persisent, i will try further.

@Yveaux Ok went to 2.0 and that indeed works

@gohan said in New CHILD ID after reprogramming: #define MY_NODE_ID 5 aha MY_NODE_ID, instead of CHILD_ID

@martinhjelmare Thanks for the input, when i arrive home ill update my code
