@Technovation It take the blame 
Thanks for reporting, PR submitted.
(The debug message is correct; msg contains the incoming nonce request => the sender is the recipient of the nonce response)

@RWoerz yes it can be done. It is a bit tricky though, because there are so many different scenarios to cover.
Search the forum for MY_TRANSPORT_WAIT_READY_MS to see some discussions on how it can be used.
MY_PASSIVE_NODE can also be useful
There is actually two "products" that are sold.. Not complete with plastic box etc. And you have to solder a socket for the radio, and add the radio yourself, as well as do a bit of programming, but the SMD parts are already mounted. I think that this is the closest that you come to a pre-assembled unit these days.

Sorry, my bad. It is clearly a gateway log.

The first line here shows that the gateway received a message from node 3.
The message is a Find Parent request, which means node 3 is asking for the gateway.
The last line is the gateway sending a response. The ! before TSF and the st=NACK means that the gateway sent the message, but the gateway did not receive acknowledgement from the node that the node received the reply.
The most common cause is unstable power supply. What capacitor(s) are you using? (On the Raspberry and on the node). How is the nrf powered on the node?
If you haven't already, see https://forum.mysensors.org/topic/666/debug-faq-and-how-ask-for-help/ for the most common problems and how to troubleshoot them efficiently.
Great work @JCH, thanks for reporting back and for sharing the sketch.
Welcome to the forum @Jenkins
Are you sure this log is from the Raspberry Pi gateway? It looks like a node log.
I don't know if any of you have seen this before:

@bjacobse thanks, hope so too.
Just looked back into the thread, I posted a picture of my old workshop back in 2016, still the same tools around, just a smaller desk to work on.

@monte said in Your workshop :
@tbowmo is that KDE?
Nope, Ubuntu / gnome, but with a tool bar at the bottom of the screen.
I don't have any experience with RS485, but the guide at https://www.mysensors.org/build/rs485 should contain everything you need about wiring.
The MySensors build examples are not specific to wireless transports. They work regardless of transport.
