Re: [mh] My old reliable W800

OK, I'm continuing to look into this, with no hope of replacing the 
W800-32. I've come up with several options.

a) simply replace it with a MR26a. My understanding is the range on the 
MR26a is terrible, so I'd likely also need a SR751 Smart RF Repeater

b) use a custom solution created by someone on the internet that uses a 
Arduino nano, custom code, and a RF device at 315 Mhz that I can tune to 
310Mhz. https://www.saidsimple.com/daniel/blog/117970/

Still looking for other options, but thought I'd pass along what I've 
got. What I really need to be able to do is read my motion sensors. 
Currently I don't have my MH server connected to a power line reading 
device (because my power is unreliable).

Thanks!

It's all fun and games until someone ends up wearing a cone.
