Repeater nood keeps looping... and doesnt reach gw.

[sundberg84]

Maybe I should try adding some log/debug lines in the lib files... @hek do you have any good start point/specific file that you think i should look in?

Strange. Might be something not working as intended in 1.5. We should probably ping @celonunes who did the last couple of changes in the routing here.

I have reloaded my repeater node with Mysensors API 1.4.2. And all work fine! Now I use serial gateway (1.5) + repeater node (1.4.2) + sensors (1.5). And it works.

[sundberg84]

and i can also comfirm @uandy that this is working here as well.
Ethernet 1.4, Repeater 1.4.2 and Sensor 1.5

So the problem must be in the 1.5 repeater routing.

Trying to re-create your setup here.

send: 0-100-0-103 s=255,c=3,t=6,pt=0,l=1,sg=0,st=ok:M

Seeing the same thing here.

Getting closer.. the repeater seems to pick up "0" incorrectly from its routing table. In your case it should be 103.

Ok, with some help from @celonunes I think we found the problem.

It has been pushed to master.. just one little eeprom write that was missing. ;)

@hek and @celonunes GREAT job - thank you.
You have saved my homeautomation system :)

@hek Correct me if im wrong - but can this been a bug from 1.4?

I had 1.4 on another laptop, uploaded the repeaterscetch there... then my last relay (new and 1.5) didnt work (stupid me - i didnt check repeter log though) - bu I changed computer reuploaded the new 1.5 and the new relay worked.

Can be a good to know for people upgrading to 1.5 - if my finding is correct they should upgrade repeaters asap.

[hek]

Yes, this might very well be a bug in 1.4. But it could have been introduced late in 1.4 life as people have had repeaters working earlier.

[sundberg84]

Ok - tnx! :)

Hello Team,

I think I fall into the same issue. My repeater goes into a loop (led is blinking continiously), and nothing is not longer working on the repeaterI changed everything (nano/NRF PA/LNA). NRF is powered externally, adding Cap also. Issue seems like to be the same. I can't connect full time in USB because my repeater is outside. Repeater stuck after between 1 day and 2 weeks.
I have a serial console on the sensor, and after a while, packet are sent st=ok, but packets doesn't reach the GW which work correctly...
I use library 1.5 for the repeater / node / GW (downloaded in august)... I don't understand the conclusion !!! What should I do, downgrade to 1.4 ??? what is the line code changed, to compare if I have the fix into my library already...

please advise, I'm working on this issue since 3 months without any finding...Should I clear the eeprom ?
Thanks a lot !

Hi @doblanch!
This issue was resolved in 1.5 and if you are using 1.5 you should do fine!
My repeaters use 1.5 and works great.
