@hek Thanks this worked

@akbooer Yes this is what I was seeing on UI7 but nothing on sensor pin for sensor door 1. I was powering it from my USB but I changed it to board(MYS11) power 5v and now it sends the data.

This is good now but now I see delays and some times 2 sensors report both on but only 1 is grounded. I'm not sure if that has to do with debounce timers perhaps?

@BulldogLowell Thanks I will try that in the future it's a bit hard SMD resistors.

If you see the last line on the serial monitor it looks to me it appears to be sending the data...right?

Having trouble getting the Pro-mini Arduino pins to update my Veralite. As you see the send looks like it should be updating but nothing or maybe I am missing something. In my sketch I am using pins 3,4,5 and pins 3 and 5 are updating fine. I'm running MySensors Plugin V1.4 and API v1.5 and UI7.

.

#include <MySensor.h>
#include <SPI.h>
#include <Bounce2.h>

#define NUMBER_OF_SWITCHES 3
#define RADIO_ID 88

MySensor gw;
Bounce debouncer[NUMBER_OF_SWITCHES];

int oldValue[NUMBER_OF_SWITCHES];
byte switchPin[NUMBER_OF_SWITCHES] = {3,4,5}; //<<<<<<<<<<< set your switch pins here

MyMessage msg(RADIO_ID,V_TRIPPED);

void setup()  
{  
  gw.begin(NULL, RADIO_ID, false);
  // Send the sketch version information to the gateway and Controller
    gw.sendSketchInfo("Garage Node", "1.2c");
  
  for (int i = 0; i < NUMBER_OF_SWITCHES; i++)
  {
    pinMode(switchPin[i],INPUT_PULLUP);
    debouncer[i] = Bounce();
    debouncer[i].attach(switchPin[i]);
    debouncer[i].interval(5);
  }
  for (int i = 0; i < NUMBER_OF_SWITCHES; i++)
  {
    gw.present(i, S_DOOR);
    gw.wait(250);
  }
}
//
void loop() 
{
  for (int i = 0; i < NUMBER_OF_SWITCHES; i++)
  {
    debouncer[i].update();
    int value = debouncer[i].read();
    if (value != oldValue[i]) 
    {
      gw.wait(250);
      gw.send(msg.setSensor(i).set(value==LOW ? true : false),false); 
    }
    oldValue[i] = value;
  }
} 

No Hek that was a good call I think it was 1.0.6 so I loaded 1.6.5 and now I get this error:

Using a Veralite with UI7.
Newest arduino MySensors library v1.5.
Using the newest UI7 Luup files.

I am trying to compile the very simple switch example given with the MySensor arduino examples on ProMini but is not working.

I can't seem to understand whats happening. Am I missing a reference? Can someone help? Thanks

@Mrlynx I was thinking of 3v battery powering at least 2 of the boards. My sensors will be DHT11 and 18B20. Can you suggest any simple ways to conserve power on the circuit? Would it be better to just add a external boosting regulator for instance?

Ordered 5 kits today looking forward to getting started. For the NRF24L01 you don't need a 4.7uf capacitor anymore?

@Cory Great I'll check it out. Do you power any with 3v battery? If so how long does it last? Thanks again.

Thanks for the reply Cory. I like the design only thing is I have a hard time soldering SMT components. I might order them and tough it out anyways. I appreciate the documentation as it helps a lot. Do you have the schematic too?
