    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.

                                          This is the cpu usage,the spike is me compiling the software as above.
