Need help with setup about espimaticrf

No, all the code for DHT and other sensors ar stripped from the original homeduino code. Only for 433 Mhz sending and receiving. At this moment I have no plans for supporting them. Sorry.

You absolutely need a ESP8266 as homeduino connected to pimatic for sending to the nodes.

Could you test with the latest development version?

Sorry, my fault. Seems like I did somehow fry the receiver module. It works fine with the new receiver.

Now a completely different problem arose, though.

Can I only use 433MHz devices with ESPimaticRF as my homeduino device? I have tried connecting a DHT sensor the same way I would have connected to my arduino, but pimatic did not receive any signals.

Also, would it still be possible to only use nodes? I mean not using a nodeMCU as homeduino device, instead using my arduino as the homeduino device, and just have the other nodeMCU, which is setup as a node, talk to pimatic directly via the webinterface?

Or is using a nodeMCU as homeduino device mandatory?

Right now, I have a receiver connected to my node device. I guess "receiver pin 0" was my mistake because the D0 pin is actually considered to be pin 16. Tried either way and did not receive any input in pimatic. In order to test this setup, I disconnected my transmitter and receiver from the homeduino device so that it wouldn't accidentally pick up my remotes signals.

Wow: sorry for being a doofus AGAIN. I already figure out that, indeed, the node can be standalone when it is only supposed to receive 433 data. At least disconnecting my homeduino node while using with the node node worked fine.

Sending data, however, seems to require the homeduino node to be connected to physical device pimatic is running on, otherwise there is an error (cannot recreate it atm, but something like "cannot access ", so regardless of api key etc. it attempts to send from a locally connected device.

so far, so good. so only this question remains for me:
is it still possible to use the other pins of my homeduino nodeMCU in order to attach sensors? or maybe even both the homeduino one and each node one? for example, i need at least three different node nodes to work with my homeduino node. While I already have to spread those around the house it'd be so amazing if I could just throw in another DHT sensor and get each rooms temperature via wifi signal, as the node nodes are transmitting via wifi either way.

Is this possible and/or a planned feature?
+Thanks
