• Ask HN: How have you engineered the shit out of your home's front entrance?
  2 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 28 Nov 2023

  Engineering implies working within constraints. Most people in this realm only have to deal with the spouse acceptance factor as a limiter.

  Went from openhab -> homeassistant -> Node-RED. Then sprinkle in MySensors, Frigate, and Double-Take, but not on just the entrance, go for the perimeter then defense in depth.

• Meshtastic and LoRa are “dangerous” (YouTube)
  1 project | news.ycombinator.com | 18 Sep 2023

  Mestastic has been doing fine work. I'm not a fan of the CLA though.

  MySensors, IM(very)HO is a better system if you are building your own gear. They too have CLA requirements.

  /** * The MySensors Arduino library handles the wireless radio link and protocol * between your home built sensors/actuators and HA controller of choice. * The sensors forms a self healing radio network with optional repeaters. Each * repeater and gateway builds a routing tables in EEPROM which keeps track of the * network topology allowing messages to be routed to nodes. * * Created by Henrik Ekblad * Copyright (C) 2013-2015 Sensnology AB * Full contributor list: https://github.com/mysensors/Arduino/graphs/contributors * * Documentation: http://www.mysensors.org * Support Forum: http://forum.mysensors.org * * This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or * modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License * version 2 as published by the Free Software Foundation. * ******************************* * * DESCRIPTION * * Simple binary switch example * Connect button or door/window reed switch between * digitial I/O pin 3 (BUTTON_PIN below) and GND. * http://www.mysensors.org/build/binary */ // Enable debug prints to serial monitor #define MY_DEBUG // Enable and select radio type attached #define MY_RADIO_RF24 //#define MY_RADIO_RFM69 #include #include #define CHILD_ID 3 #define BUTTON_PIN 3 // Arduino Digital I/O pin for button/reed switch Bounce debouncer = Bounce(); int oldValue=-1; // Change to V_LIGHT if you use S_LIGHT in presentation below MyMessage msg(CHILD_ID,V_TRIPPED); void setup() { // Setup the button pinMode(BUTTON_PIN,OUTPUT); // Activate internal pull-up digitalWrite(BUTTON_PIN,LOW); // After setting up the button, setup debouncer debouncer.attach(BUTTON_PIN); debouncer.interval(5); } void presentation() { // Register binary input sensor to gw (they will be created as child devices) // You can use S_DOOR, S_MOTION or S_LIGHT here depending on your usage. // If S_LIGHT is used, remember to update variable type you send in.

• I've got a old raspberry pi3 used for gaming but no.longer use it , has anyone got.any cool or unique ideas to use it for ?

  If you like the idea of a smart home but worried about the S in IOT check out MySensors.

• DIY TV-box project (Advice requested)

  I have had great fun and good use of MySensors, that could be a place to start. It’s a very friendly and supportive community.

• I want to build a personal gateway. No LoraWAN or TTL.
  4 projects | /r/Lora | 14 Mar 2022

  As mentioned, chirpstack works well if you still want to use LoRaWAN. Alternatively, you can use a system such as https://www.mysensors.org/ which builds its own protocol on top of lora. Finally, you can write everything from scratch using radio libraries (eg: https://www.airspayce.com/mikem/arduino/RadioHead/)

• Choosing between LoRa 868MHz and Xbee 2.4GHz for long-range comms
  1 project | /r/diyelectronics | 6 Mar 2022

  If you haven't already defined your sensor modules, have a look at the MySensors framework. It works via a tree network where every node works as a repeater so you can easily build a large and sparse network with encryption at very low cost. It also integrates seamlessly with Home Assistant and most other HA controllers. I've used it at home with good results and it supports the RFM69 radio using India frequency bands.
