    Hi @martinhjelmare

    I decided to try this on a simplier sketch that I have, but still no luck. I added this line gw.send(lightMsgW.set("1")); to the end of void setup(). The sensor shows up at the top of the States screen in HA, but doesn't let me actually control it, and it doesn't show up in Switches or Lights.

    Here is the sketch that I am using.

    /**
     * The MySensors Arduino library handles the wireless radio link and protocol
     * between your home built sensors/actuators and HA controller of choice.
     * The sensors forms a self healing radio network with optional repeaters. Each
     * repeater and gateway builds a routing tables in EEPROM which keeps track of the
     * network topology allowing messages to be routed to nodes.

     *This sketch uses two 30 bulb, 3mm LED holiday light strings. These

    As I wrote above, switches are not supported yet, in the default releases of home assistant. That support only exists in my personal branches at github.

      And how would I install your branch of home-assistant then so that I can use it?

        You can test it by cloning my fork of home-assistant (https://github.com/MartinHjelmare/home-assistant), then checkout my branch "mysensors-component-switch". Then install it with pip. See my console log below. BIG DISCLAIMER: This is work in progress and under development. You are cloning my branch, which is based off the home assistant dev branch, which is not a stable release.

        You can see that I get a warning about bad byte, after first start. I solve this by restarting hass.

        Your home assistant config for mysensors should now be structured like this:

        mysensors:
          port:
            - '/dev/ttyUSB0'
          #  - '/dev/ttyACM0'
          debug: true
          persistence: true
          persistence_file:
            - '/home/martin/.homeassistant/mysensors.json'
          #  - '/home/martin/.homeassistant/mysensors2.json'
          version: '1.5'
        
        sensor:
          platform: mysensors
        
        switch:
          platform: mysensors

          Hi @martinhjelmare

          I decided to try this on a simplier sketch that I have, but still no luck. I added this line gw.send(lightMsgW.set("1")); to the end of void setup(). The sensor shows up at the top of the States screen in HA, but doesn't let me actually control it, and it doesn't show up in Switches or Lights.

          Here is the sketch that I am using.

          /**
           * The MySensors Arduino library handles the wireless radio link and protocol
           * between your home built sensors/actuators and HA controller of choice.
           * The sensors forms a self healing radio network with optional repeaters. Each
           * repeater and gateway builds a routing tables in EEPROM which keeps track of the
           * network topology allowing messages to be routed to nodes.

          It looks like we're trying to do similar things with HA and MYS... I've been working on a rotary encoder switch for colored lights (eg Limitlessled/HUE etc...) and had been trying to program it through MQTT. However, I just now noticed the LEDDIMMERwithROTARYENCODER sketch in the MySensors examples so I thought I might try using MYS instead of MQTT. Of course that leads right back to the lack of support for MYS Switches in HASS... Perhaps there's a solution for both of our problems if we use an MQTT Gateway instead? I've worked with MQTT and NodeRED before and it was pretty straight forward, but then again I've been having a much harder time understanding the way its implemented in HASS... So I might need to work with it some more before I can be of any help testing the MQTT MYS Gateway with HA...

            Hi!

            I also want to try the MQTT gateway together with HA. MQTT support is well supported in HA, and looking at the MQTT protocol in mysensors dev branch it looks promising. I have just got some ethernet modules and more nanos, so as soon as I find some time, I'll get started. We can post our progress somewhere here whoever gets it going first.

              @humblehacker @martinhjelmare

              Sounds like an interesting idea to me. I have never used a MQTT gateway before, so i'm going in a little blind. I think I have the server so far (mosquitto) running on the same RPI as my HA install; so now looking into the next step.

              One thing though, would this replace my current serial gateway, or be an addition to it?

                I've been trying to get MQTT working using the Dev branch here (http://forum.mysensors.org/topic/2352/guide-setting-up-and-testing-mqtt-client-gateway/) and have my configuration.yaml file looking like this for my W5100MQTT broker:

                #MySensors MQTT Test
                mqtt 1:
                  broker: 192.168.86.198
                  port: 1883
                #  client_id: home-assistant-1
                  keepalive: 60
                #  username: USERNAME
                #  password: PASSWORD
                
                

                The Serial output from Arduino shows that I connected successfully

                0;0;3;0;9;Starting gateway (RNNGA-, 1.6.0-beta)
                0;0;3;0;9;Radio init successful.

                0;0;3;0;9;Init complete, id=0, parent=0, distance=0
                

                But, Home-Assistant isn't registering the broker, and I have this error in the Dev section:

                15-12-15 15:32:17 homeassistant.components.mqtt: Missing required configuration items in mqtt: broker

                Does anyone have any ideas? @humblehacker @martinhjelmare @hek ?

                      What do you set MY_IP_GATEWAY_ADDRESS to on the arduino side?

                          Thanks @hek very appreciated.

                          EDIT: Sort of ran into an issue with the Dev MQTTW5100Gateway sketch.... Thought the output I was getting above was good, but in reality the Arduino IDE wasn't giving an error. I decided to run the gateway in my RPI and view the data through SSH via screen. It initializes and shows the same data as the Arduino IDE, but then seconds later it dies and gives an error about screen terminating. Happens every time.

                          Going to try the ESP8266MQTTGateway: I'm got a hunch.

                            Does the IP address you defined in the config.yaml point to your Mosquitto Broker or the Arduino-Ethernet Shield? If it points to the Arduino afaik the point of the MQTTCLIENT Gateway is that it can be run as a client if you've already got a Mosquitto broker. Otherwise you would either need to remove mosquitto or forward it to a different port than the default 1883. If this was the case then HASS would be looking for a broker where none exists which is why it is missing configuration items...

                              For the time being, I'm thinking of taking a different approach with my toggle switch... I'm thinking of simply defining the button output as a binary sensor which can then toggle between two predefined scenes. At least in my case, input only needs to go in one direction so there's no need to receive any data from the controller....

                                FYI, my fifo_queue pull request has been merged with dev branch at pymysensors, so I'm hoping to be able to implement switch support for the mysensors component in homeassistant very soon.

                                  Thats great news! That should be a huge help with my plans for building an RGB Lighting controller based on the rotary_led_dimmer sketch! If I can ever figure out how to implement a simple toggle switch first...

                                    I've been trying to get MQTT working using the Dev branch here (http://forum.mysensors.org/topic/2352/guide-setting-up-and-testing-mqtt-client-gateway/) and have my configuration.yaml file looking like this for my W5100MQTT broker:

                                    #MySensors MQTT Test
                                    mqtt 1:
                                      broker: 192.168.86.198
                                      port: 1883
                                    #  client_id: home-assistant-1
                                      keepalive: 60
                                    #  username: USERNAME
                                    #  password: PASSWORD
                                    
                                    

                                    Does anyone have any ideas? @humblehacker @martinhjelmare @hek ?

                                    Does the IP address you defined in the config.yaml point to your Mosquitto Broker or the Arduino-Ethernet Shield? If it points to the Arduino afaik the point of the MQTTCLIENT Gateway is that it can be run as a client if you've already got a Mosquitto broker. Otherwise you would either need to remove mosquitto or forward it to a different port than the default 1883. If this was the case then HASS would be looking for a broker where none exists which is why it is missing configuration items...

                                    @humblehacker

                                    The configuration.yaml file I have pointed back to the local IP address, since Mosquitto and Home-Assistant are running on the same Pi.

                                    So, you are saying that it should really be pointed back to the MQTT Gateway then? Still confusing to me.

                                      Never mind then... As long as your using Mosquitto as your broker and the MQTT CLIENT Gateway (from the development branch) rather than the default MQTT Gateway sketch from- http://www.mysensors.org/build/mqtt_gateway then none of my earlier comments should apply... Basically I was saying that the default MYSensors MQTT Gateway is set up to function as a broker and would therefore conflict with any Mosquitto server running on the same port. The MQTT CLIENT Gateway (emphasis on CLIENT) from the development branch isnt set up as a broker so it shouldnt conflict with a Mosquitto installation.

                                        It's still important to be wary about which ip address you assign where, so I think it was a good point.

                                          Well, I have Mosquitto and the Dev ClientMQTTESP gateway working, and is communicating fine. Now just trying to figure out the proper entry to add an item as.
