mysensors on rpi with NRF2401 with Domoticz

[goblin]

hello all,
the best thing on my Domoticz was MySensors.
But is was because Domoticz crashed during the latest update.
I had ti re-buid it but i can get MySensors back to work.

The NRF pcb is directly connected to the MOSI and MISO of the RPI connector.
But i have only three posible choices in hardware on Domoticz.
MySensors Gateway with MQTT, with LAN interface or USB.

What do i have to do to get it working again.

i have 10 MySensors units and 15 esp via MQTT units and since MySensors are the most reliable so don't want to change it to ESP-MQTT

Thanks

Hello @goblin, welcome to the forum.

You probably had installed the raspberry pi gateway, which supports serial (usb), ethernet (LAN) and mqtt.

Instructions: https://www.mysensors.org/build/raspberry

Easiest is probably ethernet.

that's correct. but i seems to have a problem with the correct Domoticz settings.
I need to select one out of three and i get a message "Error: rf: Failed to start, return code: 14/Connection refused (Check IP/Port" when select mqtt
and when select LAN the message "Error: rf: Can not connect to: 127.0.0.1:5003".
so it's obvious that i have did something wrong.

Thanks

good evening,
I have tried ./configure --my-gateway=ethernet --my-controller-ip-address=127.0.0.1
But still the same error

Thanks

[goblin]

good night
i have tried "Step-by-step procedure to connect the NRF24L01+ to the GPIO pins and use the Raspberry as a Serial Gateway (MySensors 1.x) " and get an error that is not mentioned (MySensor.cpp:644:5: error: ‘gettimeofday’ was not declared in this scope).
and this after sudo: /usr/local/sbin/PiGatewaySerial: command not found

i will have a good sleep and continue tomorrow

Nice work @goblin

Could you share all commands you ran and the entire output, including the configure, build and test steps?

Also, I don’t think Domoticz can use the gateway as a client. You should probably omit the --my-controller-ip-address=127.0.0.1 argument.

thanks for your response.
I tried all possible combinations but one ( the one that works)
I started with "https://www.mysensors.org/build/raspberry"
git clone https://github.com/mysensors/MySensors.git --branch master. Expected response "fatal: destination path 'MySensors' already exists and is not an empty directory"

Then i need to make a hardware choice in domoticz : between USB,LAN or MQTT.
and that is something i don't understand because non are used. The NRF24L01 is connected to MOSI MISO of the RPI.

sorry for the long Reply

I am missing mysgw

I have searched the whole sdcard with WINSCP but can't find the config file, should be in /etc/mysensors.conf.
