Example

This example uses the external libraries Adafruit_NeoPixel and NewPing found here. Please install them and restart the Arduino IDE before trying to compile.

/**
 * 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.

 * REVISION HISTORY
 * Version 1.0 - Created by Henrik Ekblad
 * 
 * DESCRIPTION
 * Parking sensor using a neopixel led ring and distance sensor (HC-SR04).
 * Configure the digital pins used for distance sensor and neopixels below.
 * NOTE! Remeber to feed leds and distance sensor serparatly from your Arduino. 
 * It will probably not survive feeding more than a couple of LEDs. You 
 * can also adjust intesity below to reduce the power requirements.
 * 
 * Sends parking status to the controller as a DOOR sensor if SEND_STATUS_TO_CONTROLLER 
 * is defined below. You can also use this _standalone_ without any radio by 
 * removing the SEND_STATUS_TO_CONTROLLER define.
