MySensors is an open-source C++ library and example collection for building DIY wireless sensor and actuator networks on Arduino, ESP8266/ESP32, NRF5x, SAMD, STM32, Teensy, and Raspberry Pi hardware. It handles secure node-to-gateway communication over radios like nRF24L01+, RFM69, and LoRa, integrating with 20+ home automation controllers via serial, MQTT, or Ethernet gateways.
Use cases
- build diy wireless temperature sensors with arduino
- connect battery-powered sensor nodes to home assistant
- create an mqtt gateway for custom iot sensors
- add secure signed communication to arduino sensor nodes
- update sensor firmware over the air (fota)
- build low-power battery-operated actuators and sensors
When to choose
- you want cheap, self-hosted DIY sensors for a home automation controller
- you need multi-radio support (nRF24L01+, RFM69, LoRa, RS485) with one API
- you want signing, FOTA, and low-power features out of the box
When to avoid
- you need a plug-and-play commercial smart home solution without soldering
- your project requires a formally licensed library - the repo has no explicit license file
- you need modern IP-based IoT protocols like Matter or Thread
