@mrhutchinsonmn have you managed to get your node working under HA? I would migrate from Domoticz to HA, but I have never saw any working sketch (I use relay switch, some temp+hum, light level measure)

@sundberg84

I was able to do a photo, so the dallas temp, and le33 "mask" is on the opposite side, I think this is the problem. (in your example pictures they are on the good side)

No worries, I use currently the newbie pcbs for light switching,

yoshida

Just FYI: I have ordered 20pcb in January, and even though they are 4.1rev (pcbway), the le33a voltage regulator's silk screen still points to the wrong direction (flat side outwards). Also the second picture here mentions 4.1 rev, but I think this is an older rev. flat side outwards will connect the le33a Vin 5V leg to the Vin for the NRF2.4 in the 4.1 rev. Or the other way is that the orientation is good, but then it should be on the other side of the board So if it would be on the same side like the capacitors, it would be ok. (I have realized this after the third node built up wrongly.. )
Do you know if the le33a gets 5V to the 3v3 leg, will it survive? Other components?

Thanks Guys, finally a sketch which compiled for me I will try it in Domoticz later on.

Hi, some -maybe- silly questions:

In the diagram you marked MysX connector number 9 as the "LED1", but that's the A5, and not the D3 where I see it is connected. (just asking this to be sure that I understand right the board, and the diagram)
So this is only a typo, right?

Other question is that I can use the mysensors LED dimmer example sketch with the rotary encoder with this board, right? It needs 4 digital pins, and MysX has 4: "D2, D3, D5, D6".

So I just have to replace in the sketch the #define KNOB_ENC_PIN_1 4 to #define KNOB_ENC_PIN_1 2?

"#define LED_PIN 3 // Arduino pin attached to MOSFET Gate pin
#define KNOB_ENC_PIN_1 4 // Rotary encoder input pin 1
#define KNOB_ENC_PIN_2 5 // Rotary encoder input pin 2
#define KNOB_BUTTON_PIN 6 // Rotary encoder button pin"

Do you plan an RGBW version?

@maghac A friend just showed me your 1.8 version sketch, and for me so far this is the best working sketch even though I have one issue under Domoticz. (setup: raspberry with mysensors 2 serial gateway, node is arduino pro mini, and 4 mosfet, right now only on breadborad. )

So I can't control the white and the RGB leds independently. If I adjust the brightness for the W-led, like raise up, the RGB leds will lower their brightness in the same ammount. Same for the RGB, if I raise up the RGB brightness, the W led lowers itself.
Also the turn on/off seems to be strange if I want to turn on/off the RGB and W independently.

Are these features, or bugs width Domoticz?

I assumed that I will be able to control independently the W and the RGB channel, in domoticz I have two device, one RGB light device, and one White lamp device.

Can you please help, if all ok with this behaviour, or something needs to be adjusted for Domoticz in the sketch?

Thanks,
Yoshi

@mfalkvidd good question, yes I have removed the two leds I found, but I am too lame to remove the voltage regulator I have read here that the most consuming part is the LED(s)

yoshida

@bluezr1 Interesting... I used it with a pro mini as well, and my problem was that it ate up the batteries in 2 weeks... So I would need more deep sleep for the same sketch

But for that 2 weeks, it was working well. Temp/Hum/Baro updated every minute.

@emc2 Thanks! With this modification the sketch compiled successfully. Today I had time, so put everything together, and the BME280 works with the 2.4GH radio, temp/hum/pressure all reporting like they should.

Using arduino pro mini, bme280, nrf24, 2XAA Batteries. It reports to the mysensors serial gw, and then shown in domoticz.

@emc2 or anybody:

Does anyone have a working BME280 mysensors arduino sketch? The code above states include mysensor.h now it is mysensorS.h, so I have renamed, but it won't compile, it says:

In function 'void setup()':

bme280:252: error: 'getConfig' was not declared in this scope

I have a MySensors Gateway USB
Version: 2.1.1 (arduino nano) with Domoticz, and I would like to use the bme280 for a battery powered outdoor temp/humidity/barometer (as DHT22 does not like battery level below 3.3V, and I would run on 2x1.5V AA)

Thanks
