Home Assistant

I like the joke : ) I'll try to keep it simple. Most of my sensors are just reporting temperature and humidity. Since I can assign them to a room in home assistant. They don't need anything fancy.

@mfalkvidd I got what you mean. Yes, I am using the tcp connection using the mySensors serial API, not the USB<>UART serial interface ;-) I am running a gateway with the nRF24 at 1Mpbs for the fast & furious sensors (mainly energy meters); another at 250kbps for the battery supplied nodes (temp/hum and door sensors); another one at 1Mbps dedicated to the actuators / mission critical. 60 nodes running Another on is a BLE<>Mysensors bridge between the Mopeka Tank Pro (2) and the TPMS (4) Another one is a fauxmo<>Mysensors bridge. A few esp32 based displays (round oled, 3.5", 7") :-)

hey, sorry for late reply. PR for mysensors is ready to be merged: https://github.com/mysensors/MySensors/pull/1570 next step is create PR in mysensors integration for home assistant. Best regards Mariusz

@badisensors I have this same issue and am struggling to find a consice answer to the question. Have you figured it out? I would love to see a bit more detail about the important naming and numbering protocals for Gateways, Nodes, Sensors, and their output values within the MySensors architecture. So far, I am not finding much and progress is slow when I simply need to try different iterations and make conclusions/adjustments.

Hi, Thank for your reply. Yes, i run since many years with a serial Gateway connected with my PI. I thought it was possible to use the same machine to remove this extra element. If you had a stability issue, I would just stick with my current formula and not change everything for now. Regards,

Figured it out. I had to send HVAC_FLOW_STATE to HA, in order for it to figure out that it was a "thermostat". Only problem is that it shows up with states "Auto" "Cool" "Heat" and "Off" in the dashboard, even though I only have the possibility to heat, or turn it off.

@HJ_SK said in 2x BME 280 on 2x arduino nano hangs in HomeAssistant: BME280 I had a similar situation. First you have to delete all the MySensors devices in HA. This is aggravated by HA wanting the devices to be on line before you delete them. You may have to delete the MySensors data in the HA config directory. You may even have to uninstall MySensors from HA. Then shutdown HA. Next, turn off your gateway. Are you using MQTT for messaging? You'll have delete the MySensors data from there, too. (MQTT Explorer is good for doing this) Then start HA. Did your MySensors devices come back as zombies? That's the problem. Try deleting them again. Are they data still in MQTT? OK, now start again. I had documented how to do all this deleting in HA Forum, HA/Discord and here, but I can't find that documentation now. grrrr OSD

Hey @OldSurferDude I think we have a missunderstanding here. I have my gateways running on ESP32. When I add the integration I can enter the IP in this dialog: [image: 1721934496526-2024-07-25-21_05_25-einstellungen-home-assistant-mozilla-firefox.png] If you want to change the IP number of the gateway (or the MQTT topic or the serial port), there is no way to do this: [image: 1721935167535-2024-07-25-21_18_03-einstellungen-home-assistant-mozilla-firefox.png]

What I did not try but might work: copy your persistence file, delete the old GW and create a new one with the persistence file you copied. Maybe the devices are preserved like this. Maybe you should create a full backup before... <edit: typo>

Same issue here. HA receives data from Ethernet Gateway for only a few minutes and then: DEBUG (MainThread) [mysensors.gateway_tcp] Connection lost with <_SelectorSocketTransport closing fd=42 read=idle write=<idle, bufsize=0>> I also have MYSController connected to the GW and it remains connected. There is an open issue as others are also having the same problem. Am wondering if anyone here is having success with Ethernet Gateway connected to HA.

@Multimax do you send initial states for all children for this multi relay node? HA won't show anything that hasn't sent initial data to show. https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/mysensors/#presentation

Thanks for the response. Can you be more specific about how to request the status from the node? My understanding is the request format is: request (Child_ID, VariableType); But if the Home Assistant entity that I want to request the status of is not a MySensors entity it will not have a Child_ID. So how do I format the request statement?

I have encountered the same situation trying to use a switch to control some blinds. Has there been any update on this issue from either Home Assistant or MySensors, or any workaround developed?

Please read carefully documentation for HA. https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/mysensors/ You need to send initial state of your sensors. There is example code for doing it. Basically you check in loop if the node just started and send some values to HA. After that your sensor will appear in HA.

Hi, friend! He also became interested in the Home Assistant system, but was upset by the lack of support OTA. I use a system Majordomo for MySensors devices and my Ethernet-RS485 gateways are based on ENC28J60. And I found such an idea for myself - to implement a proxy for the TCP protocol in order to implement a parallel connection to the gateway of two systems at the same time. I tested this solution and it turned out to work - I was able to flash via OTA , while simultaneously receiving data in Home Assistant. Perhaps this idea will be of interest to you.
