I have been doing exactly this recently. Though my CO2 sensor was 3.3V. But a solution could be powering the sensor with the VIN 5v pin and using a level shifter for communication. That's what I did with the 5V screen I used (though I didn't need a level shifter). I also added a lithium battery with a charging and safety circuit hooked up to a boost converter making it 5V and connected that with VIN and GND.

Thanks for the quick reply. I'll have a look.

When I started off and knew nothing about the MySensors system and was in the same spot as you (I didn't know what if anything worked). It was suggested i try the webserver example on the gateway. This would make sure the GW is talking to the LAN. Then I made a simple counting sketch on my node that counted from 0 to 250 in steps of 5, sending the count to my VeraPlus using the Multimeter Voltage parameter. Maybe this helps.

@mfalkvidd Look in the ide for language inspection errors. Sometimes while crawling the sources vs decides you have some invalid code files or dependencies, then it changes the file types to avoid live dependency resolution loop. Then you loose auto completion, error detection, navigation, etc. Specially if you use resharper plug-in. Libraries like mysensors confuses the ide.

Thanks for the explanation. Makes perfect sense. In the past if there was a processor mismatch the programs would not download.

Let me start by saying I made some incorrect assumptions. If you look I assigned an IP address to the device and to the MY_CONTROLLER_IP_ADDRESS which I thought was necessary so it could find my Vera. It talks about the fact that by assigning an IP address to it it changed it from Server to Client mode which I couldn't find much info on. You have to know I'm a hardware guy. I know just enough software to be dangerous. I think it was this change that kept it from working. The way I had it configured wireshark showed the ESP8266 only sent out one packet after being powered up, after that nothing. I was able to telnet to it on port 5003 but basically got nothing. After commenting out the MY_CONTOLLER_IP_ADDRESS when I telneted to it I saw a stream of sensor data. It seems a bit counterintuitive but in this mode it looks like my Vera was connecting to the GW and watching the data stream. That's a WAG on my part but it seems logical at this point. Now I hope someone can give me some help on my Senesebender Micro issue.

Thanks that seems to have worked. This is what is needed. In the file MyGatewayTransportEthernet.cpp around line 301 the following changes need to be made. All the [0]'s need to be removed. Old: #if defined(MY_GATEWAY_ESP8266) _ethernetServer.read(inputString[0].string, MY_GATEWAY_MAX_RECEIVE_LENGTH); inputString[0].string[packet_size] = 0; debug(PSTR("UDP packet received: %s\n"), inputString[0].string); const bool ok = protocolParse(_ethernetMsg, inputString[0].string); #else New: #if defined(MY_GATEWAY_ESP8266) _ethernetServer.read(inputString.string, MY_GATEWAY_MAX_RECEIVE_LENGTH); inputString.string[packet_size] = 0; debug(PSTR("UDP packet received: %s\n"), inputString.string); const bool ok = protocolParse(_ethernetMsg, inputString.string); #else

Thank you very much for you reply. I can now quit beating my head against the table.

I googled a bit and found out this: Vera seems to support email and sms http://wiki.micasaverde.com/index.php/Set_up_of_Notifications And more notification options can be added by installing plugins such as this http://www.veramate.com/faq/push-notifications

Thanks for the reply but I'm not much of a modern day programmer Most of my programming was done writing drivers for I/O cards in assembly in the before time.

I cleared the memory but not it seems with the MySensors Sketch so it didn't clear everything out. I ran the MySensors sketch today and everything works thanks.

Thank you very much. I did all that and the GW seems happy except for the fact Vera doesn't see the gateway. I get this from my vera. Vera (MySensors plugin : Choose the Serial Port MySensors Plugin[12] : Running Lua Startup I remember having to go in a change the baud rate on the USB port in Vera but I haven't been able to find that again. I've read where nothing has changed in how the gateway talks to Vera. I was running a Nano as my serial gateway. but I saved it just in case and I'm now using a Uno. Vera firmware rev is 1.7.2043. I've also read you can't use a serial gateway with UI7 but my Nano has run fine for 8 months or so. Also is there a writeup of what the Inclusion button does besides return a 1 then 60 sec later a 0. Should this put the Vera in Inclusion Mode? I cleared the eeprom of the Uno.
