    • RE: nRF5 action!

      @NeverDie I love the new 51840 (the one that does the long distance, the 832 is the High throughput chip) Please work with the 840.

      I have the nRF52840 Preview DK, but have not fired it up yet. Still trying to understand how to code Bluetooth.

      SiLabs has an interesting Gecko BT5 chip as well.

    • RE: nRF5 action!

      @NeverDie I think the 832 would be a good start until the 840 is available. I think all programming will be the same for when we switch over the 840. I am not 100% sure though.

      I have been looking at the AdaFruit 832 since it came out, but have not pulled the trigger yet, as I have not yet opened my 840 dev kit.

      We can definitely program the AdaFruit 832 with Arduino.

      I agree with you that BT5 long range is the way to the future due to it's low energy, great built in security, long range and no additional chip required.... and >>because regular bluetooth is already baked into everything.

      Weird, so this functionality works on my computer at work. I will do some more research tonight.
      Thanks.

      @NeverDie Event though there seem to be many benefits to going narrow, what about enclosure sizes, where longer may not be as good as a smaller square?

      @openhardware.io So, I have been looking for a way to determine if a door lock was locked. Is this that?

      @NeverDie It is an interesting exploration. It seems you don't see it until you get there.

      @mfalkvidd Thanks for the clarification. I just wanted to make sure I did not need to worry about the other person being online when I sent a message. Chat will work.

      @scalz I think there is HUGE interest in a good working PIR solution. That gets my vote.🔎

      @NeverDie said in Fewer home automation postings? What's behind it?:

      The rate of new postings seems much less than in prior years

      Similar topic on another forum I hang out in.

    • RE: nRF5 action!

      @NeverDie No, Adafruit is the maker/seller and before just recently you had to buy them from them and pay the shipping and slow order fill process.

      I have Amazon Prime, so shipping is "free" and they show up in 2 days.

      I have never seen them for lower than MSRP.

    • RE: Brightest LED at ~1-3ma current on 3.6v or less?

      @mfalkvidd > Seems like leds are only able to convert about 10% though.

      10% !! What a bummer. For being so efficient, can you imaging how low power the next step in lighting will be?
      Time to invent the next version of LED.🌞
