1Get the assembled board
Source&assemble it yourself or buy some from me
-
2Flash the firmware with your UUID into the ATTiny
There's a default-pinout 2x3 socket for ISP on the board. Just plug a USB-ISP in according to the pinout and you're good to go!
-
3Connect the board inside the device in question
If there's 5V inside the device, connect it directly. If there's only 220V, add a sufficiently trustworthy 5V PSU as described in "details". Either way, make sure that the antenna of the NRF module can actually transmit - i.e. you're not putting it inside a fully-metal case.

4Turn it on and test if the packets are received at the base station
-
5Test whether the device sends the "shutting down" packet
If it doesn't, make the storage capacitor larger until it does. Suitable storage capacitors can be sourced from PC motherboards - they're low-voltage and high-capacity, just like expected here. If the "shutting down" thing fails, the device will still work - just that the power cut-off will not be detected instantly.
