To summarize:
I have the serial gateway now attached to the RaspberryPi which is running domoticz (Beta 2.2339) and it detected the humidity node right away. Both are compiled using the Master branch. I have 4.7uF capacitors between VCC and ground, but not sure if I actually need them. I just pulled them out and it still works flawlessly. Distance is only 20cm though since it is all on my desk. The arduinos I use are Buono UNO clones which have more amp output on the 3.3V rail (200ma).
If I try to use the serial gateway from the dev branch, I need to do one fix to get it compiled:
//MySigningNone signer;
// Construct MySensors library
MySensor gw(radio);//, signer);
Otherwise it complains (Using MacOS Arduino 1.6.1). But running that code yields no results. The gateway receives (some) messages from the Humidity node but on the Humidity node all messages fail to get ACKs.
I do not know why that is. As I said, I am completely new to mysensors, so I did not have time to look deeper into the code yet.
Shall I open another thread in Troubleshooting? This is not really related to the Domiticz setup anymore...
