RFlink and Mysensors

[Stuntteam]

RFlink now supports MySensors devices.
At least the temperature (V_TEMP), humidity (V_HUM), V_TRIPPED and V_LIGHT_LEVEL are supported
However, to extend support we need debug data.
A log from both the sensor and rflink.
That way we can see what data is transmitted and that received data is handled in the right way.
If you can help with this, supply data here or mail via frankzirrone@gmail.com

I'm working with the developers of MyController to add complete RFLink support. Currently the dailybuilds have initial support.
However the more the merrier, so please if you are looking to extend your MySensors network with 433Mhz type devices, please help us to perfect the MyController support.

Wouldn't be better to use NRF24L01 on 2.4G?

[Stuntteam]

For what?
MyController is a home automation server. RFlink is just a RF gateway to feed the server with data it collects.

MySensors are custom build devices which can communicate on different media (433MHz, 2.4GHz, ...). I think it would be better to make them work with 2.4GHz NRF24L01 module than 433Hhz one. RFlink already have support for both 433MHz & 2.4GHz on NRF24L01.

Sample:

NRF24L01 can be used for bidirectional data with encryption & range.

RFlink communicates to home automation software over serial.
The NRF is used for other things, like Milight.

Hello, i'm new to RFlink and Mysensors, but maybe i can contribute.

I built my first "mysensors" module using the RelayActuator example of the mysensors library.

Well this sensor is just lighting up a led on pin3, this is my first one heah.

It presents itself as "S_BINARY" type.

Here is an output of the gateaway log:
20;00;Nodo RadioFrequencyLink - RFLink Gateway V1.1 - R45;

In my home automation (jeedom), the "sensor" was automatically created with the following info:
name: SilvercrestDB_
and 3 "commands":
#36 name=Statut 1 type=info
#37 name=ON 1 type=action command=ON
#38 name=CHIME 2 type=info
