Hi,
I started using RF433 when starting with pimatic. Then I switched to ESP’s, which I like a lot but are relatively “power hungry” so I now ordered the “my sensors” NRF24L01 + 2.4GHz combi’s.
Some questions:
-
My RF433 devices (arduino nano with ds18b20 and RF transmitter) sometimes hang my pimatic even though I only send every 5 or 10 minutes. Anyone having that same experience? or with the NRF24L01 devices?
-
working range: The better RF433 heterodyne tranmsitter/receivers have about 10-15 meters range depending on the amount of concrete/iron in between (indoors). In this article I read much longer ranges for the NRF24L01 devices. Can anyone comment on that?
Any other useful recommendations/remarks not in the “How to Mysensors” topic are welcome as well. (I thought of putting my questions there but my questions are more a one versus the other topic"
