HumTempNode
Small and easy to build MySensors temperature and humidity sensor based on BlackCircleSensor.
Extending the Arduino's Battery life
To be able to use the arduino with a coin cell battery, some steps are needed:
- Burn 1MHz ATMega328P 1MHz Bootloader with 1.8V BOD from MiniCore.
- Unsolder on-board voltage regulator and power LED (You can keep the built-in LED in pin 13, it's useful for debugging).
For this sensor I used the 5V variant of the Arduino Pro mini, but the 3.3V one should work as well (Maybe even better!).
Software
- Modify the provided sketch to your liking (Static node id, battery level reporting...).
- Upload the sketch to the Arduino without the coin cell battery inserted.
- Unplug the Arduino from the FTDI cable and insert the battery.
