Getting Started with MySensors and Home Assistant

Күн бұрынWi-Fi is great for quickly connecting devices to a network, but it is a bit power-hungry. It is therefore not the best solution for low-power sensor nodes that must run many years from a single button cell or that live from power harvesting. A great solution for this type of device is MySensors (www.mysensors...., an open-source home automation and IoT project based on ISM-band radios, notably the nRF24 by Nordic Semiconductor and HopeRF’s RFM69. The more recent nRF5 platform as found on the BBC micro:bit can be used too.

This was very helpful in making the setup less daunting. They have made it even easier in Home Assistant now, and I have my first node set up!

Super super handy. I'm building a pool management system at the moment and this looks to solve a key problem.

Can we please get an update, many things have changed since 2 years and I have the feeling the process since then is simplified.

Thanks for this very concise video! I am using ESP32+ Lora Ra-02 (RFM95 radio) for an WIFI&MQTT Gateway with Home assistant (Hassio on an R-pi). Mysensors works really well! Its a fully working RF tree network with many options including RF repeating for extended range. My first sensor Node is a Arduino Pro-mini (3.3V) with the Mysensors Door/Button Sketch and the RFM95 radio selected. The AI Thinker RA-02 (Lora Radio) works very well on 434MHz. Tips: 1) Make sure your radio pins config is correct. 2) Make sure your Arduino is the correct voltage for your radio (3.3/5V) 3) Use the examples 4) keep track of all your configs and dependencies! 5) Some Arduino sketches use external libs 6) If you use the 433/868MHz radios, use an RTLSDR radio (with SDR software like HDSDR) to monitor off-air the radio bursts. 7) Experiment with antennas for increased range.

Hi P, that sounds great! Thanks for providing your project, if you want to share it also to our Elektor community in our Labs network, www.elektormagazine.com/labs?q=lora, feel free to do so. We are always curious about new electronics technology projects. ;)

Hello P, your project is great . I am a lot interested. Could you please share the schematics and the software ( ESP32 Gateway , gateway integration in Hassio and sktech for your sensor) ? Thanks a lot. JC from France

Hi, nice video but got a question. I have a self built mysensors-based component that sends temp, hum data from a sensor connected to an arduino with RF24 radio. I used so far openHAB where the mysensors my-gateway was listening and was communication via MQTT to the mosquitto to send the measurements. In your video you mentioned there was no HomeAssistant add-on. So my question is, how did you make this work?

In the wrapping up part you state "Programming and soldering is limited to a MAXIMUM"? I suppose you mean MINIMUM, correct?

How much range are you getting from nRF24L01+? I'm using MySensors library with two of these modules with the best optimal settings: PA_MAX, 250KBPS (for longer range), CHANNEL 108 (2.508GHz) which is within the lowest interference zone. Tested with a maximum of 50 feet (15 meters) in open area. And in indoor, it can barely pass through one wall (drywall). Are you getting a better result with these RF24 modules? If so, please let me know your settings.
@ElektorTV 3 жыл бұрын
What you are seeing sounds familiar. You can buy nRF24 modules with power amplifiers to improve the range. But more power means, of course, shorter battery life :-(.
