      Not MySensors, but related. Power over Ethernet (802.3af compliant) addon for the raspberry pi zero. I plan to use this for high power & high reliability devices where wireless will not work.

      Top one is a higher power version, bottom one just uses an off the shelf regulator.

      Currently these just have some IR LED's to control IR devices.

      I soldered together the PCB I made for my RFM69 Pi Gateway. Next step is to put it in a nice enclosure

      @Nca78 I will be sure to do that when it's done, it's still a little rough around the edges 🙂

      Was going for a bed occupancy sensor, but I got a pretty decent scale out of it, it is sensitive enough that it registers if I put my water bottle down on the bed.

      @martinhjelmare Good eye! I can't believe I missed this. Thank you. This solved my problem.

      I look forward to using this in my home automation setup 🙂

      @manutremo Thank you for that info-graphic. You are and @gohan are correct, I have an RFM69W. This is what I get for buying from the cheapest seller on eBay 😒

    • What does --my-is-rfm69hw do?

      I have a raspberry pi gateway setup with an RFM69HW radio.

      I switched my Raspberry Pi Gateway from MQTT to TCP, and I was met with my only sensor node repeatedly sending find parent messages. It worked only in very close proximity to the gateway.

      After a bit of debugging I noticed that I added the --my-is-rfm69hw flag in my transition from MQTT to TCP. After removing this everything resumed normal operation.

      What does adding this flag do (my understanding is that is just changes the TX power levels), and why did it drastically reduce the range?

    • RE: Cannot connect mysensors to Home Assistant

      The messages are being published to the broker, that part is working. The last bit in my post shows what the broker is sending/receiving.

      Edit: From the manual

          --my-controller-ip-address=<IP> Controller or MQTT broker ip.
      

      In this case it represents my MQTT broker IP. I believe I have the usage correct.

      How else will it get the IP of my broker then? That's the only field I put in my server IP hosting home assistant the the MQTT broker.
