@vga the pulse count is stored in the controller, so it needs to be reset there.

@vga, Just watch out writing too frequently to the poor EEPROM.

ok, thank you Yveaux for your help! to understand the mechanism, when the sensor node starts to search for parent again, why doesn´t it find the parent node, which used before?

@vga said: looking for a better range Did you consider switching to RFM69 (sub-Ghz)?

ah, thanks mfalkvidd, thats what i´m looking for!

Ok, so you see an improvement? In the referenced thread Korttoma actually mentioned that one could expect a lower range if you set the power to max as the Arduino is not able to supply enough power. Good to know, learning by doing.

thanks alexsh1. One more thing: Gateway is a Arduino Pro Mini 3,3V and powered with a connected FTDI 3,3V Breakout to USB from Raspberry Pi 2. Sensor node is also a Arduino Pro Mini 3,3V but powered with a FTDI 5V Breakout (the only second one i have at moment) which is connected to my MacBooks´USB. Is this a acceptable way? So at the end i have to buy a "W" Module, and try it again?

@tekka said: @corbin Can you provide debug logs (on 2.0.0) of both, GW and node, showing what you described? It's been running well except for 1 node, this is the serial output, could it be damaged hardware?

@AWI yes I spoke to Rob about it some time ago. V_VAR is good enough for my needs. I just do not see why one would want more

@vga The sensor you are referring to is working with "hall" effect. I can't find the internal schematics of the thing but I assume there are some active components to give you a nice square wave output. Another principle would be a magnet with reed (magnetic) contact which you can read with minimal current. You can find the " rest" current by measuring the power line of the sensor .

It is working! ;D ...thank you very much! Now i understand a little bit more with MySensors
