It has more than five times the capacity of a CR2032 for less than twice the price (at Reichelt).</p> CR2477 migt be a good compromise between capacity and size.

With a dozen JeeNodes in the house, I'd rather not go around replacing batteries all the time... (AA has over 10x the capacity of CR2032).</p> True – but in this case it is really the battery pack which determines the size of the triangle.

You can made it in some kind of stackable design, I suppose. For example: square pcb with smd atmega and all connectors around chip on one side and RF part on another side... Then you can mount that stack upon "power brick". I suppose CR2032 battery (or two?) and tiny step-up converter (I saw very cheap one - NCP1400A) will allow jeenode to work for a months (in that case you need to remove linear power regulator part from your circuit). May be I'm wrong, I don't know. =)</p> <p>P.S. I just think that it will be simplier to find a good place in a room for a smaller version of jeenode...</p> May be it is possible to create a smaller version of Jeenode?

P.S. I just think that it will be simplier to find a good place in a room for a smaller version of jeenode…
