    I'm unfortunately at about the same level as you. I can compile stuff and do basic troubleshooting, but merging the dev branch with the gateway code is way out of my league.

    There is no way you are at 3.275% knowledge like me... I've seen many of your posts on here and you are at least a 4.532%... lol.... no honestly I've liked your posts and you seem very knowledgeable. You've got to be at least a 84.5% ;)

      Can somebody tell me how to change the channel after compiling and using the Gateway for a couple of days?
      Changing the channel in MyConfig.h in the dir Raspberry doesnt bother even after a reboot.
      Still 0x4c channel / 76 when I run the PiSerialGateway program.

        Did you recompile the code after changing the channel?

          @alexsh1 I did this after changeing the channel in MyConfig.h: make all && sudo make install
          Rebooted after that but no luck

            That should be sufficient but you could see if running make clean before make all helps.

                @Sander-Stolk I don't see a new make install in your output. Did you miss that or is the output just not included?

                make all compiles the code. The result is a binary file in the Raspberry folder
                make install copies the binary (and some scripts I think) from the Raspberry folder to the system folders.

                  Ok here's the deal to change the channel or other settings:

                  cd Raspberry
                  make clean
                  make all
                  sudo make install
                  Done!

                    Does anyone know what this error is about?
                    RPi2, NRF24l01, OSMC (Debian jessie), Domoticz v3.5051.

                    osmc@osmc:~/Raspberry$ sudo make install

                    I can run the gateway even with the error, i can also add it to Domoticz and send/receive data.
                    But after a few minutes i get a massive error in domoticz saying "(24) Too many files open" on every logentry and my domoticz loose connection to the Logitech mediaserver, remote Kodi hardware, mqtt server etc.

                        @cingolanifede the Raspberry Pi gateway does not support signing.

                          I'm looking for some help in getting "PiGatewaySerial" running properly. I am having no issue running "PiGateway" and receiving all data from a counter node I'm using for testing. When I try to run "PiGatewaySerial", only intermittent data appears. For this example, I have my counter sending increasing integers at 1 second intervals, and receives fewer than 1 in 25 through the "PiGatewaySerial" script. I previously had this working reliably on a RPi2, reading in the tty output and logging it to a file. Now, I cannot repeat that on either that device, nor the current RPi B+ I'm working with. I'm sure there's some basic setting that I'm missing, but I can't seem to figure it out. Thanks!

                          An example of "PiGateway" correctly receiving all messages:

                            I have been thinking about giving this a try But:-
                            The Raspberry port is using protocol version 1.4.
                            Do the sensors also have to use version 1.4?

                              No, the sensors can be running 1.5 or 2.0-beta, the PI will run a 1.4 version.
                              The only thing not supported by the PiGateway is message signing.
                              But I have a mix of sensors in 1.5, 1.6-beta and 2.0-beta in my home network, so it certainly works.

                                @GertSanders

                                Is it best to start with a blank jessie image and manually install/compile domoticz or just use the domoticz sd image?
                                The latter would be the easiest for me because i am useless with the CLI but if the first method is best??

                                  Adding support for signing on a pi gw should just be a matter of implementing random number generation and use software signing. With slight modification in the software signing backend as it assumes Arduino api:s for obtaining a seed for the rng.

                                  Do you feel secure today? No? Start requiring some signatures and feel better tomorrow ;)

                                    @rmtucker if you want to be able to run the very latest version of Domoticz, use the Debian image and compile Domoticz from git.

                                    I use the Domoticz image. The downside is that I need to wait for new "official" Domoticz builds before upgrading, but the upside is that getting up and running was very easy.

                                      Actually ... I started with an official Domoticz build, and then I indicated in the settings that I wanted to update with the beta version. Since then I'm always on the latest beta (v5143 at the moment).

                                        @GertSanders cool. How often is the beta updated? Every build?

                                          Just set this up on my existing Raspberry pi B+ Domoticz server and it is working perfectly so i have managed to get rid of the uno Gateway.
                                          Thank you so much,I can now try and squeeze it all in the Raspi case and the job is finished.
