Does this look OK? If so I will ask my previous question on the Home Assistant forum. You have been a great help and once I get one of these things down I will be able to help others:)

Thank you this was just what I was looking for. Cheers!!!

@mfalkvidd OK. I will give it a try. Thanks for your help and patience. I hope to automate my whole 417 sqft home and then help others to do the same.

The reason I was getting errors was because I happen to purchase some really bad Chinese junk radios. If you cannot see the square chip on your radios and it has sort of a black glob of hard mat looking substance where the chip should be chances are the radio is just not compatible. This is mentioned in the troubleshooting area of the site. It is best to make sure you buy on eBay from sellers that my sensors sort of approves of.

@flopp would I do that by adding this line:

#define MY_NODE_ID 3

I am having trouble getting the MQ 135 to send data. I have checked out everything 3-4 times and it appears to be hooked up right and when I force butane from a lighter into it the red light comes on on the sensor board. I am getting this output on the serial monitor

@mfalkvidd OK. I have it compiling and uploaded to the nano. My config file looks like this now:

sensor 6:
  -platform: onewire
    names:
      some_id: outside
      mount_dir: "/mnt/1wire"

I get an error when I restart HASS on the Pi.

ERROR (Thread-6) [homeassistant.components.sensor.onewire] No onewire sensor found. Check if dtoverlay=w1-gpio is in your /boot/config.txt. Check the mount_dir parameter if it's defined.

I guess my question is do I need to define the mount_dir variable and if so is the one I have correct? And if it is correct do I need to create that directory on my Pi?

I also do not get any output in the Arduino Serial Monitor window. Not sure if I even should...

Thanks in advance for any help...

Does this example compile for anyone??? I get this error:

@toddsantoro Actually I have read that and I am still in the dark. From the Arduino GUI I go FILE > NEW. COMMAND + S and save it where? It defaults to the Arduino folder on my machine with just Libraries directory in it. Do I create a SKETCHES folder and save the project there? I just don't know what to do???

@mfalkvidd OK. I will give it a try. Thanks for your help and patience. I hope to automate my whole 417 sqft home and then help others to do the same.

@mfalkvidd I removed everything I have done and started new so that is why you do not see that in the library's folder. I would like to know the exact steps no matter how trivial they are to setting up the sensors project. I am a web programmer and that may be my issue because I know how I would set things up but that does not mean thaty are correct in this situation.

Should I create another folder in there called sketches? Here is my sketch copy and pasted from the example on this page: https://www.mysensors.org/build/motion

/**
