    • RE: Vs2015+Visual Micro + MySensors

      I can absolutely confirm this with VS2015, Visual Micro and MySensors 2.1.1. This is clearly a kind of merging, that is done by Visual Micro.

      All includes have to be made BEFORE the first line of code is executed. The initialization of your SENSOR_ANALOG_PINS array is such a line of code.

      Just posting it to keep it visible and well-scored at search engines, as this is SOLVED and works fine. Thank you!

    • RE: Looking for reliable PIR human detection sensors

      Oh, I didn't know they perform so "bad" in real-life applications. I would love to stay informed so it would be awesome if you could post your success-story here if you got it 🙂 Very interesting topic indeed.

      Good luck!

    • RE: Serial API: NOACK when sending with ACK failed

      From my perspective it is an absolute must to have this handled by the library, because it is a core feature of nRF24L01+'s and would be relatively easy to implement.

      My home automation system should not need to care about the transport layer stuff, but just make use of a reliable transport layer and be notified if sending and retransmission fail consecutively. Even TCP/IP Stack connections just notify the application layer if the timed out.

      Can you put this higher on the list and help if possible?

      Edit: This is the library where i got this from and it automagically just works https://github.com/TMRh20/RF24Network/tree/Development
      Other libraries like the common RadioHead are doing this as well.

    • RE: Managing the color of multiple RGB LED nodes

      You can link multiple things (or thing channels) to the same item in openHAB. Simply create one single ColorItem and separate all channels with commas.

      Working example:

      Color aacc_color "Mysensors LED Lights" (lights) {channel="mysensors:rgbLight:bridge:drawer_lights:rgb,mysensors:rgbLight:bridge:desk_lights:rgb"}

    • RE: Call to begin function hangs arduino

      I can confirm that the Arduino hangs at the init, if it cannot communicate with the nRF24L01+.

      Often had that "issue" when I accidentally disconnected the MOSI cable and the communcation was broken. There seems to be no timeout though. If you enable the MySensors debugging, you will see radio init... on your serial line.

      I now use this behaviour as a kind of self-test. In the setup() of my sketches, I turn on an LED, do the radio init and turn it off afterwards. If it stays on, I know there is something wrong with the radio. Without even connecting a single serial cable.

      Maybe you can use it this way, too.

      Just to clarify: The hang will not happen if you have a bad radio range. It will only happen if the local communcation through SPI fails.
