A list of nodes
Name | Description | Usage | Realization status | Quality |
---|---|---|---|---|
Back Door Sensor | A small module powered by a coin cell to detect if the back door is open. | Backdoor | Working | Works good. |
Blinds Module | A module to open or close the blinds of a window. | Living | Working | Works good, but needs better construction inside. Also: still a risk for the relays when operating manually: needs protection circuit on the relay contacts. |
CO2 Node T6703-5K | A module that measure the CO2 ppm with a T6703-5K unit. | Living | Working | The prototype works good. It took a few days before the unit was calibrated correctly. |
Coin Cell Node | A coin cell powered Arduino Pro Mini sensor to detect an open window (or door) and measure temperature and humidity. | Anywhere | Working | Works good. |
Coin Cell Stable Node | The Stable Node used with a coin Cell and a reed contact to detect the state of a switch (door, window, button) | Backdoor | Working, Destroyed | I accidently reversed power supply, that destroyed it. |
Controllino Domotica | Controllino Domotica MySensors Gateway with inputs and outputs | Hidden | Working | The relay contacts sometimes stick together when switching on/off a few times after each other. This is treated with more delay in the software and NTC Thermistor Resistor 47D-15. |
Curtain Module | A module to open or close the curtains of a window. | Living | Planned | |
DeltaTempFanController | A module to control a fan based on temperature difference. | TV Cabinet | Working | The temperature measurement is perfect, but the fan PWM not: makes noise and stops at some speeds – improvement needed. |
Domoticz on Raspberry Pi | The controller is a Raspberry Pi that connects to the gateway with a USB port and runs Domoticz | Study | Working | |
Domoticz on Synology NAS | Domoticz on Synology NAS | Living | Working, Retired | There are no up-to-date versions available on the NAS, and it is hard to add Python files etc. |
Door Window Button Sensor | A cheap battery powered sensor to detect an open window/door or switch | Anywhere | Working, Retired | It works, but is not made in reliable way. Replaced by an other sensor. |
EnergyMonitor | Measure mains energy - current, voltage, power | Work in progress | ||
Fan Module | Control a bathroom fan remotely, with button. | Bathroom | Working | Works good, is also repeater. Sometimes there is no connection with the gateway, and then there is no reaction on pressing the button. Might be improved to react locally. |
Gateway Ethernet W5100 | The gateway between the NRF24L01+ network and the Controller. Used medium: Ethernet | Living | Working | Working good. |
Gateway MQTT Client | The gateway between the NRF24L01+ network and the Controller. Used medium: MQTT (via Ethernet) | Living | Planned | I experimented once with it, but do not need it. |
Gateway NodeMCU ESP8266 | MySensors Gateway build with NodeMCU ESP8266 | Upstairs | Working, Retired | Used as an extra MySensors gateway on a different radio channel. Works fine, but not used anymore. |
House Web Server | A web server for house documentation - if the house is sold, then this webserver contains the documentation that the new owners need to receive. | Hall | Working, Retired | Works fine, but if I keep it switched on, nobody will be using it. The limitations to the tree of files is quite severe – not very usefull. |
LED strip and 6 spots | A LED strip and 6 spots are controlled by an 8 relay board with an Arduino Nano | |||
Light Relay with Arduino Nano | A LED light switching relay build with an Arduino Nano | Study | Working, Retired | Works fine, but soon replaced by multiple lights and a LED strip |
Light Sensor | A small light sensor supplied by a coin cell, based on a MAX44009 | Failed | Did not get this working (bad Arduino?) | |
Light Sensor Uno | A light sensor supplied by mains based on a BH1750 | Working | ||
RadioWifi | Radio Wifi NodeMCU ESP8266 with VS1053B Audio Codec | Living | Retired | Works fine, sometimes slight interruptions, but still enjoyable. More recently, there is too much cracking to enjoy. |
RadioWifi2 | Radio Wifi ESP32 with VS1053B Audio Codec | Living | Working | Works fine, sound is good. Song title in MySensors is cut off. Webpage with song title does not auto-refresh. |
RepeaterNanoEbyte | A MySensors Repeater made with a 5V Arduino Nano and an Ebyte radio module | Attic | Working | Works very good, the communication range is much better. |
RepeaterRFNanoTenstar | A MySensors Repeater made with an RepeaterRFNanoTenstar | Failed | The Tenstar modules do not respond – is there even a working bootloader inside? | |
RepeaterProMini | A MySensors Repeater made with an Arduino Pro Mini 5V | Working, Retired | ||
RepeaterProMiniWithSi7021 | A MySensors Repeater made with an Arduino Pro Mini 5V and a Si7021 | House | Working | It works good as a repeater – but it needs a strategic location in the house. |
Printer Module | Control the printer remotely. At power up, the printer draws so much current, that the SSR did not survive. | Living | Testing | At power up, the printer draws so much current, that the SSR did not survive. |
RPi Domoticz Controller | Raspberry Pi, with Domoticz | Living | Working | Working good. |
SceneControllerLcdTouch | Use the OpenSmart TFT IL9320 Display 2.8 inch with touch function as a scene controller | Living | Planned | |
Gateway Serial | The gateway between the NRF24L01+ network and the Controller. Used medium: the serial bus (USB) | Living | Working, Retired | Initially I tried this, but switched to a Ethernet gateway when switching to the NAS Domoticz. |
Temperature Humidity Sensor | A sensor for temperature and humidity. | Outside | Working, Destroyed | It worked, but fell and broke. |
Window Open Sensor | A battery powered sensor to detect an open window (or door). | Bathroom, Living, Veranda | Working | Have one of these at most windows in the house. Expensive (due to the Sensebender) but nice. |
