I've been able to get MySensors working with HomeGenie using the MQTT gateway. It doesn't have two-way communication or software-based pairing yet, but I'll work on those in the future.
@evb Still haven't had a chance to look at your PR, sorry.
Yes, the database tends to grow I have about 80MB after a year of use. Just added a function to delete all messages older than, say, a year.
@DirkB19 Think you will get another advantage by changing as well - must be a lot easier to monitor the MQTT messages when topic clearly shows the difference.
I am not able to install the Library . I am getting Error
Invalid library found in C:\Documents and Settings\User\My Documents\Arduino\libraries\ESP8266MQTTMesh: C:\Documents and Settings\User\My Documents\Arduino\libraries\ESP8266MQTTMesh.
I changed the name of the zipped file to ESP8266MQTTMesh as the name of .cpp file ESP8266MQTTMesh.cpp. Still it is saying Invalid Library found in ....
What could be the problem.
@alexeinz figured it out, apparently had to add experimental and get latest mosquitto for the conf file to work correctly , now the bridge is working perfectly
--- broker.conf file in /etc/mosquitto/conf.d
the topics coming from gw will appear under sensor/# on mosquitto

I have been away for a while but it seams quite some of you are experiencing problems, I'll try to take a look at it. If you find any more details, please let me know!
@ericvdb
Yes, I know about the 5V. But the adapter brings it down to 3.3V for the radio, that is the reason for using it and the adapter is equipped with the AMS 1117 3.3V chip. Seems to work OK but I really do not have any hard facts to prove it.
One thing I may test is to wire the 5V also directly to this adapter instead of taking it out from the Arduino 5V pin. This is to find out if this Arduino Nano clone might have too small capacity for feeding the radio at certain occasions.
I think that:
It does overlap with MySensors for the wireless network. MQTT-SN assumes a network that provides a bi-directional data transfer service between any node and a particular one (a gateway). MySensors wireless network could provide data transfer but the message are really tailored to transport sensor and actuator values.
MQTT-SN for the gateway - controller interface is not needed MQTT is for that more than fine
That said I like the idea of MQTT-SN but for it a "transparent network" makes more sense.
