Rod Antenna This is a vertical isolated piece of wire. It should have 1/4 wavelength = 82.2mm. You can try also a length of 1/2 wavelength = 164.4mm, especially at the base station, for better reception.

Building up a Base Station (or Proxy) Needed Parts and PCB You need a PCB. You may use the layout from Github and etch it yourself or order the PCB or a complete kit. The base station is designed to run 24/7 on 5V and to be connected to a PC, so you may prefer a stabilized 5V power supply, and not running on batteries. Any USB power supply will do well, and many mobile phone chargers are working at 5V.

Files The main source file should be called like the device type and the directory name, prefixed with “shc”, e.g. “shc_yourdevice.c|h”. Main Function Use these typical functions to initialize your device in the main function: Create a delay to avoid problems with E2P access when a programmer resets the device in short intervals (which mine did

Building up an Environment Sensor (SMD Version) Needed Parts and PCB You need a PCB. You may use the layout from Github and etch it yourself or order the PCB or a complete kit. The envsensor using the SMD version powered with a CR2032 battery is designed to power only sensors with small power consumption or when the measuring cycle is big. For example, a CR2032 is good if you use the devise as window sensor. If your sensors need more power, you should use a bigger 3V battery or 2 AA(A) alcali…

Modification of Honeywell HR25 thermostat [Figure 1: Honeywell Rondostat HR25 thermostat] The Honeywell Rondostat HR25 is an electronically programmable thermostat for radiators. For integration into a smarthomatic network it needs a RFM12B transmitter and a new firmware. To keep the programming scheme similar to other smarthomatic devices, an ISP connector is added for easy flashing. The housing is hacker friendly, it opens without the risk of breaking it. The electronics is based on an ATmeg…

Prepare the solder pins Apply a tiny bit of solder to the pins of the RFM12B transceiver before you solder it to the PCB of the smarthomatic device later on. You don't need to do this with every pin, but only with the ones that will be connected. See the picture below.
