Hi. Has this issue with the crashing ESP8266 module ever been solved? I have this problem here also.

@Luppie Ok, thanks. I also have the USB and LAN gateway running. But it would be very helpful having the WIFI version on other locations in the house. Thanks anyway.

@Luppie Hi. Have you ever been able to solve this issue? I have the same here.

@sundberg84 Ok, I will try changing the cap values. Thanks.

@sundberg84 Thanks. Yes, I use the cap over the power feeds, but use a 47uF variant. Could this be a problem?

@m26872 Thanks for your advise. Just connected the NRF on the gateway side to a 2AA power supply directly. No change, still getting the st=fail messages on the sensor side. But ... I'm feeding the sensor via laptop's USB port. Could it be this source is too unstable?

My gateway is powered by a Mini 3A 4.5 ~ 28V Input 0,8 ~ 20V Output Step-Down Voltage Regulator. This feeds the Nano, NRF and W5100 (except during the current test).

Thanks. Do you mean the behaviour on my side is normal? What I understood from the documentation is that it should work with the standard NRF module up to 20-60 meters.

Hi all,

Please help me solving the problems I have with my bad performing radio network. I'm just a newly within the Mysensors community and recently built an ethernet gateway and some sensors. This is my setup:

Controller: Domoticz V2.4031 running on Sinology NAS
Gateway: Ethernet gateway bases on the Mysensors instruction (Arduino Pro mini clone, NRF24L01 radio + antenna, WizNET (W5100) Ethernet module, powered via 3.3 regulated power supply).
Sensors: The "My 2AA battery sensor" project of m26872.

Everything is working as it should be, except for the reach between sensor and gateway. If the sensors are on the same floor in my house (say within 7 meters) everything works fine and the serial output shows nice st=ok. When moving the sensors to other floors, even within 10 meters, the connection is lost resulting in st=fail messages.

What should I do to solve this issues? Thanks in advance.

Tronix.

Great, thanks for your quick response. Implementing now. Looks good.

Hi, I'm a newbee just started with MySensors. I built the first temp/hum sensor, and I'm trying to plot the battery level in a graph too. In this discussion you mention that I need to send the battery level to the controller as sensor value. Can you please share with me the code which I should use? Thanks a lot.
