This is why I am using an magentometer and not a reed switch. That didn't work for me either.

Re: Possibility of reading gas meter

I have a similar meter and I just finish building a sensor for this based on an arduino nano with a hmc5883l magnetometer. Google is your friend, there are a few well documented projects like this. I didn't post anything on this yet, since its still a work in progress. What I am doing is converting ...

Re: RFLink - USB Gateway - Introduction

Hate to say it: I put my "old" transmitter and receiver on a breadboard. Connected Vcc and Gnd direct from the Mega to both (not as indicated via D15 and D16). The TX data and RX Data to D14 and D19. Simple wire as antenna. Transmitting is without a lot of testing "similar", that means all my wall ...

Re: RFLink - USB Gateway - Introduction

I changed from pimatic to domoticz. I am now using the RFLink instead of the Arduino Nano and cheap super heterodyne transmitter/receiver. With my previous solution I could receive any remote anywhere in my house. With the RFLink and the antenne supplied with the kit from Nodo-shop I can't even ...
