Felix,
Just starting to assemble switchmote (2X10) and I don't have any 470ohm resistors. I instead have 4.7k (yellow-violet-red) instead. Can you please verify what I'm suppose to use and possibly what's in your kits.
Thanks
Oh no it must have been packed wrong, it's supposed to be 470 ohm. Sorry about that.
You could use anything between 220-680 or even 1K (the green LEDs might be a bit dimmer at 1K).
If you don't have any available I can send you the 470ohm, let me know...
Thanks for the response. Unfortunately I don't have any 470k resistors. I'm planning on going out of town in a couple days so all I'm going to assemble now is the SwitchMote PSU to control some lights from my panel. I will assemble the front panel PCB when I return.
I possibly will need a few other items so maybe we can work something out like split the shipping instead of just shipping me 3 resistors..
So, the PSU is all assembled, and appears to be working, but does not show up on the UI when D4, D5, or D6 is grounded.
The only thing I added to the partial sketch (latest from Github) below was #include <WirelessHEX69.h> because it wouldn't compile;
*************************************************************************************************************
// SwitchMote sample sketch
// *************************************************************************************************************
// Handles the single 5A relay SwitchMote, as well as the dual 10A relay SwitchMote2x10A
// https://lowpowerlab.com/switchmote
// SwitchMote is a highly integrated wireless AC switch controller based on Moteino, the wirelessly programmable Arduino
// *************************************************************************************************************
// This sketch will provide the essential features of SwitchMote:
// - wireless programming
// - accept ON/OFF commands from a Moteino gateway (format is BTNx:y commands where x={0,1,2}, y={0,1})
// - control the relay(s) to turn the AC load ON/OFF
// - control up to 6 LEDs and 3 buttons on front panel
// - SYNC feature allows out of box synchronization with other SwitchMotes
// ie - when a button is pressed on this SwitchMote it can trigger the press of a button on another SwitchMote
// so you can use a SwitchMote button to control a light/set of lights from remote locations
// this sketch allows up to 5 SYNCs but could be extended
// This sketch may be extended to include integration with other LowPowerLab automation products, for instance to
// control the GarageMote from a button on the SwitchMote, etc.

Any suggestions would be appreciated
Make sure you have the latest library and sketch. WirelessHEX69 is not used anymore, instead RFM69_OTA is used.
Felix,
Ok, I downloaded the library again and I still don't get anything come up on the UI when I ground D4 or D5. Does it matter that I still have it connected to the programmer when testing it?
Thanks

Does not matter if connected to programmer.
You mean on the Gateway UI?
Do you have a Moteino with HW radio on the SM?
Your receiver matches all the settings and the IS_RFM69HW is set correctly?
Yes, I have the HW on the SM
1. What sketch is on your gateway Moteino? Should be this one (https://github.com/LowPowerLab/RFM69/blob/master/Examples/PiGateway/PiGateway.ino).
2. Look in your gateway.sys.log to see if the gateway Moteino is receiving the messages. If not something is mismatched somewhere.
Felix,
Loaded new sketch on Gateway as suggested, still nothing :(
Looked thru gateway.sys.log, gateway.db, and gateway_nonmatches.db to check for mismatches or errors as suggested, not even a mention of node 5 :-\
Then it hit me like a ton of bricks.. (took almost 2 days) I remembered the network ID that I entered for node 5 was incorrect :o
Works great!
Thanks for all your time Felix 8)
