Yes, I' am. Still to understand the needs in terms of sensors, gw and so on...
Never used before mysensor, but i've got 4 sensordend boards.
I should be able to setup a gw with nrf+ in a raspberry 2.

Just a check: does'nt the micro have a capacitor on the pcb to serve the radio? So is it really necessary to stick the huge cap on top of radio ?

Those are even much smaller (3.3v , 25x38x17 mm , 3w) and have similar price. I've got one (still to experiment with)

Hi, what about the mysensor plugin? I would like to try the freedomotic frontend with raspberrypi as a (serial)gateway. Are there any tutorials about?
thanks

Ok. It seems the gateway is working as i get the same final screen when I run it. But... does it has a verbose mode? How can I know If it is working? I tried with a test node, unfortunately it seems not working ... or simply it does'nt give any feedback...

Any practical experience with Fibaro in mysensors environment?

An other silly question: can I install a controller into the same raspberry pi (the one with this gateway and nrf )? Are all controllers suitable for such a configuration ?
Thanks!

In theory the controller could be placed on Cloud, allowing to be accessed remotely is'nt it? What about intrinsic security communications between gw and controller?

Sorry for my naive question: does it means I ca use a raspi as a nrd24l01 based gateway?

Did you have any further experience/information about roller shutter in mysensors environment to share ? It is quite an hot point for me...

The adapter itself does'nt hold a pcb. You have to use ... your hands or a table clamp. Neverthless it is really usefull...

May I suggest to insert in the store also the following item to program the board via ICSP without soldering?

that ìs fine for me!

Hi, I have ordered some boards from Itead. Just some doubts: is the board a 5v or a 3.3? what's about nrf24 decoupling capacitor? May I assume the nrf24 is correctly powered at 3.3 V by the board?
Sorry but i'm on the "soft" side more than the "hard" ...:-)

I've got a couple of them (3.3 and 5 V models), the wired models. Just received. Still to test...

when preorders will be available ?

Any good news about the d-day (delivery day ) ?

May be too big or too expansive... but it is for sure a good (and safe...) product with a 33x22 mm footprint..

Hi guys. I'm waiting for your board!
the only concern is about the 2xAA batteries adoption that could increase the overall size of a sensor node to a "normal node" size ( http://www.seeedstudio.com/depot/s/devduino.html?search_in_description=0).
I would like a stack as following: battery+board+radio. with the same footprint of the radio module.
The battery could be a CR123 with regulator, and the holder could be a pcb holder as this: http://www.memoryprotectiondevices.com/datasheets/BH-CR2-PC-datasheet.pdf
I actually ordered some of these: http://www.elecrow.com/devduino-sensor-node-v4-atmega-328-p-1201.html, at this moment the closest to my size requirements.
What do you think.?
