    also don't know if, it is related.

    but i had this in the configuration:

    persistence_file: 'mysensors.json'
    

    But every time i started the HA, the log said it couldnt find the file. But efter i removed it, and create the new file i couldnt find. the new log have this:

    16-03-12 22:26:47 homeassistant.bootstrap: Error during setup of component mysensors

      the new config looks like this

      mysensors:
        gateways:
          - port: '/dev/ttyUSB0'
            baud_rate: 38400
        debug: true
        persistence: true
        version: '1.5'
        optimistic: true

        Which arduino model are you using for the gateway?

            Did you change baudrate in MyConfig.h to 38400? Otherwise I think we've found the problem.

            Nano can use the default 115200 baudrate in MyConfig.h. The baudrate in HA config has to match. You can remove that line and hass will default to 115200.

                okay putting

                persistence_file: 'mysensors.json'
                

                Will get the gateway started. but will result in a file not found. if i put the correct path in like

                persistence_file: '/var/opt/homeassistant/mysensors.json'
                

                i get this in the log.

                  If you check the content of

                  /var/opt/homeassistant
                  

                  What does it show?

                    That's where all my configuration is. And there is a mysensors.json file present.

                      Try deleting the json file and have the full path to the json file in the config, as before. Restart hass.

                      Edit: Also delete any pickle files, if any.

                        File does not exist or is not readable: /var/opt/homeassistant/mysensors.json
                        

                        but will get me a gateway started.

                          That's fine, I think. If you check the contents of the folder again, you should see a json file again. It creates the file the first time.

                              Oh yeah, I think it will create it when the first sensor is added.

                              Do you get the gateway started message now?

                                Yes i have the gateway started, so i should try to start a sensor to see if it will make the json. and be present in the webgui

                                  Yes. Make sure you follow the presentation guide in the docs for mysensors on the HA web.

                                    thank you so much, that seem to do the trick. the gate way was started and the sensor was add, as soon as it was turned on.

                                      I'll think about updating the docs at HA web, to explain things a bit more.

                                          Well pyserial should be installed automatically when you run hass the first time with mysensors activated in the config. There shouldn't be a need to do that on your own.

                                          Are you sure it wasn't installed for you?
