Adding local sensor to NodeMCU gateway
-
Hello,
Is it possible to connect local sensors to the gateway itself? Because the gateway is an esp8266 I can place it anywhere I want to (if you have enough wifi signal).
So the gateway could serve for 2 purposes instead of only a gateway.If its possible can someone help me to code this sensor into the gateway?
Regards,
Wodian

@Wodian yes
Just add the sensor code for your sensors to the GatewayESP example.
You can find more information here: https://forum.mysensors.org/topic/4066/ethernet-gateway-working-as-sensor-node-it-s-possible/2

Have been a while and trying to add code to my gateway without succes.
Ive been trying to add a light sensor to my gateway but it isnt recognized by Mynodes controller. In the serial monitor I cannot see anything logging about a sensor.This is what Ive been using so far:

Any thoughts?

@Wodian I've remove your SSID and password from the sketch. You probably didn't want everybody to have those.

@TheoL
Woops thanks
-
i'm having the same problem on seriagateway, even with dev. branch . my local sensor dont present on vera 3. Something it's not working as should on local gateway nodes. the not recent examples, just old examples before 2.0 released
-
@Tmaster Still havent found a solution for this. At the moment im busy with Home Assistant and using the esp8266 for mqtt communication so I dropped mysensors for now.

I've been searching for a solution and found one after trial and error. I think my biggest mistake was to use the printed pin numbers instead of the gpio numbers of the nodemcu when adding my temp sensor. My code looks like this, pin 5 is D1:

Here is a sketch of the pins:
-
o vera lite the problem is : if i add a new sensor and delete it , id stays there..somewere on vera. and next time device will not be find because it is already there. i have to increase node id number on arduino sketch (i don't know if auto id works).
Anyone know why Vera don't really delete devices and kept te ID somewere?
-
@Tmaster how would Vera know the device was deleted if the ID wasn't stored?
-
@mfalkvidd but then if i have 200 deleted devices .it ill kept everything? how to reset that?
-
@Tmaster I don't know. Maybe ask Vera support?
