    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.

          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. 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.

                      :thumbsup:

                      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?
