Hi, See the above mentioned topic, there is a solution to using esp8266/Arduino 2.1 library.

The gateway only forwrds information it gets from nodes/controllers. It does not remember old sensors. So the information is coming from somewhere else. Could you post the log from the gateway?

MySensors writes 0xff(255) and the sketch you used writes 0(zero)

Yes thanks, totally forgot that.

@tbowmo Got it! thanks. Stupid me. There was some lost soldering in the header.

For my 433mhz i use this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/172002494385?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT Dont know if you have any connector for that, but found some interesting breakout boards for RFM69 https://www.tindie.com/products/modtronicsaustralia/rfm69hw-breakout-board-pcb-433mhz-long-range-20db-wireless-module-arduino-pic-and-arm-compatible/

I tried the samples from the RFM69 library and they all work fine on any arduino. Maybe someone can upload their library and some RFM69 mysensors samples that are working?

The regular RFM69 has much better range than the NRF so you might not need the high power version at all. It does require you buy/build your own antenna though. I'm using the 915 MHz version and can cover my whole house, yard, and garage with a small helical antenna I bought on ebay (the NRF couldn't do that even with an external antenna). Just search for "XXX hz helical antenna) on ebay to see a lot of options.

Well i could save it every 10th pulse and check if its higher than the 10 pulses before that? if not, current pulse is the pulse that was saved 10 pulses before?

it also amplifies received signals, which works very well. I cover my whole flat (100m²)with this version for the gateway (and only the gateway, rest ist normal nrf24l01 modules) The non PA/LNA was not able to get into all corners of the flat. AFAIK PA stands for Power Amplifier (meant for TX) and LNA for Low Noise Amplifier ( meant for RX).

today i burned a second regulator on a 5V pro mini. I use a car 5V adapter now, but its quite large :P. Any1 experience with good 5V regulators that can handle 12V?

I just found out that my gateway is not working great. I made a new one but i don't know why the other is not working good? Solved it, it was not the gateway, it was a repeater node that couldn't pass the messages all the time.

So it should be okay? Even when my meter shows around 180-200 uA with pir only?

Thank you. And what about the low ESR capacitors?

Thanks.. Looked again today and it has calmed down.. Maybe it's just at start-up before there are any messages received or maybe something reading the Serial Port.
