    Well this is just brilliant! And the timing couldn't be any better, as I was just about to conquer our garden with an army of RFM69 nodes. :D

    For the last three days I was sending an incrementing number every five minutes with each an NRF24 and RFM69 node to a 3.3V Pro Mini MQTT gateway (W5500) without issues. Today I decided to flick the switch and route my existing NRF24 network through it, effectively replacing my trusty ESP MQTT gateway (which I will keep as a backup, just in case) and it's looking good.

    RAM:   [=======   ]  74.7% (used 1530 bytes from 2048 bytes)
Flash: [========  ]  84.5% (used 25972 bytes from 30720 bytes)

      @BearWithBeard Excellent! Thanks for the feedback. (If your setup/time allows, would be interesting to get your feedback on the ESP MQTT GW with dualRF...)

        Sure, will do! I'll get back to you, once I've tested it. Might take a week though.

          Alright, I got the ESP MQTT GW working for the better part of the last two days, handling an average total of 48 messages (36 sending, 12 requesting) per minute from two nodes and all seems good so far. As you can see in the image below, I'm using the RX (GPIO 3) / TX (GPIO 1) pins for CE and CS and I have MY_DISABLED_SERIAL defined, which means that I can't see the serial output of the GW. But looking at the corresponding MQTT topics and the serial output of the nodes, I confirmed that every in- and outgoing message was handled correctly.

          I've tried a bunch of other pin assignments, of which I've included two in the image. With the one shown in the middle, I saw tons of NACKs on the serial output of the NRF24 node. I think this is because D3 (GPIO 0) and D4 (GPIO 2) are used to determine the boot mode of the ESP and are pulled high to VCC. Using them for the IRQ pins isn't going to work either - at least not without external circuitry - because the RFM69 will pull the line down and the NRF24 will pull it up, preventing the ESP from booting / flashing.

          If D3 and D4 can't be used, there are only seven easily accessible GPIOs left (not counting RX/TX here) for a total of eight IO pins on both radios (2x IRQ, 3 for SPI, CE, CS and NSS). I decided to leave the IRQ pin of the NRF24 radio unconnected and ended up with a pin assignment as shown on the right. In this setup, all messages received an acknowledgement, even though not all sent messages appeared in the GW serial output, nor in the corresponding MQTT topic.

          So yes the dualRF GW is working on a NodeMCU (ESP-12E), if you can do without serial output, don't care about traffic indicator LEDs, inclusion mode and such. Since many of the pins have two, three or more functions depending on the ESPs state, I don't think I would recommend it as a dualRF gateway, unless someone who has more patience steps in to figure out if and how all GPIOs can be made accessible. Better use a different MCU for this.

          Let me know if you need a specific log or want me to test something with it. I'd be happy to help. Otherwise I'd like to free my breadboards up for other projects.

            Nice work @BearWithBeard !

            Luckily, someone has already figured out the ins and outs of the different pins. His name is Neil Kolban. I bought his book on esp8266 and it was very useful to me when figuring out the limitations of each pin.

            I have not used the esp32 much, but I am pretty sure Neil’s book on it is great. https://leanpub.com/kolban-ESP32

                Hi, I have a question about signing/encryption.
                I have rs485 nodes without these features (as they are not really useful here), but I want to add nrf nodes, where I would like to implement these to have a secure network.
                So can I use rs485 nodes without signing/encryption and nrf nodes with them enabled at the same time, using this multi gateway or do I have to enable signing/encryption also on rs485 nodes in this case?

                  @bwn I don't know exactly how the rs network tie into other networks but in general, if you have two gateways, then each gateway has their own mysensors network and therefore can have two completely different security approaches as the signing/encryption logic applies to the network managed by each gateway.

                  Do you feel secure today? No? Start requiring some signatures and feel better tomorrow ;)

                    Yes, you're right.
                    For two separate gateways that's a valid statement, but I need to know how it (will) work for this multigateway feature when I'll connect rs485 and nrf to one physical GW.

                      @bwn I do not think it will if the gateway makes the two transports share the network. As things like encryption is global to each network.
                      Signing might work if you do it only for specific node id:s and the node id:s are distributed over both networks.

                      Do you feel secure today? No? Start requiring some signatures and feel better tomorrow ;)

                          I'm trying to use the MY_RFM95_RFM69_COMPATIBILITY options but it does not pass the RFM95_sanityCheck.

                          Code compile without warning, and gateway is working fine with simple RFM95 driver.
                          Using esp8266 and arduino 1.8.13.

                            Well, i don't know if it is a timing issue or a hardware issue, but increasing the RFM95_POWERUP_DELAY_MS from 10 to 100ms solved the issue.
                            Now testing range improvement over rfm69h, will report back.
                            @tekka , Great work !

                              This is awesome and came along at the perfect time. I have 4 networks because of experimenting over the years and have been meaning to clean up the rats-nest of wires that is my current set of serial gateways. Enter Multi-Transport.
                              I made a gateway with NRF24 and RFM95 (915Mhz) running off an STM32F411 black pill. Worked right off the bat.
                              Now I just need to duplicate for RFM69 and RFM95(433Mhz).

                                @nagelc sends like you socketed your rfm69. Could you post a closeup picture of it?

                                  Another experiment, using 2mm machined pins and sockets. Since the RFM69HCW and the RFM95's share the same pinout, I could switch radios easily for testing. 20201208_215918 (2).jpg

                                    Hi guys! I'm trying to enable RS485 and RF24 transports but I'm getting the following error :

                                    /libraries/MySensors/2.3.2/MySensors.h:290:2: error: #error Only one forward link driver can be activated

                                    I saw the MY_RFM69_NEW_DRIVER example and tried to apply the same logic :

                                    #define MY_RS485_NEW_DRIVER

                                    This made the error go away but the RS485 transport layer is not initialized.
                                    I've tried enabling only the RS485 layer and it works.

                                    Any idea on how to enable multitransport with RF24 and RS485 ?

                                      @Giovanni-Chiva You need the development branch (2.4.0-alpha) for multitransport. 2.3.2, which you are using, doesn't support that. Download here: https://github.com/mysensors/MySensors/tree/development

                                        @BearWithBeard thanks for the reply!
                                        Unfortunately I'm getting the same error message :

                                        /libraries/MySensors-development/MySensors.h:295:2: error: #error Only one forward link driver can be activated

                                        Am I missing something?

                                        Here is my gateway code :

                                        // Enable debug prints to serial monitor
#define MY_DEBUG

// Enable RS485 transport layer
#define MY_RS485

// Define this to enables DE-pin management on defined pin
#define MY_RS485_DE_PIN 2

// Set RS485 baud rate to use
#define MY_RS485_BAUD_RATE 9600

#define MY_RF24_CS_PIN 10     // Used by the MySensors library.

                                          @Giovanni-Chiva You need the development branch (2.4.0-alpha) for multitransport. 2.3.2, which you are using, doesn't support that. Download here: https://github.com/mysensors/MySensors/tree/development

                                          Apparently the main development branch does not include multitransport support. I've eventually found @tekka 's branch and was able to download it from here https://github.com/mysensors/MySensors/tree/09434a4b9fb668fbaa2d47803b5541f2d7b05d29

                                          The error message is gone now, however only RF24 transport layer is working. If I comment the RF24 transport, then RS485 starts working.
