Gateway All node have same ID

[TheDuke]

Hi All,

I did a lot of progress in my Mysensors project but I have a last issue.
I am using a Wifi Gateway with a Node MCU 1.0 but all my node show a one meaning that all my nodes seems to show up with the same node ID.

I am using Arduino IDE 1.6.8, tested with 1.6.5 and 1.611 same results
Using Board Manager ESP8266 2.3.0, tested with 2.0 and 2.1 with same results

How to ensure that each node show as different node in the Gateway ?

I have tested with 2.0 MySensors Main banche and with 2.0.1 Beta and have the same results.

Many thanks for your help

Welcome to the community, @TheDuke ! Nice progress.

Could you post the sketches for node 1 and 2?

Hi mfalkvidd

I am using GatewayESP8266 for the gateway. Tested on a NodeMCU 0.9 and NodeMCU1.0
I am using the default RelayActuator that is contained in the devbranch.
I just uploaded to a 3rd Arduino the sketch. 2 shows up with ID 1 ... the 3rd show ID 100
Changed NRF24 antenna does not force the change of ID. re uploading the sketch to arduino does not reset ID in gateway

How to ask my arduino that show up with 1 to change to another number ?

Thanks

@TheDuke use the cleareeprom sketch (available in MySensors examples) then upload your sketch again.

The node id is stored in eeprim, that's why re-uploading the sketch doesn't affect the node id.

[TheDuke]

Great !
I did clear eeprom on my nodes and now they show up with a new ID

What is the recommend solution to not have duplicate ID ? Why did my new node get an ID already used ?

[mfalkvidd]

@TheDuke the automatic id assignment in the controller is responsible for handing out ids. Not sure why Myscontroller failed in this case. I don't use Myscontroller myself.

@mfalkvidd Thanks for your help. MYScontroller seems to be able to replace the gateway assignement. I was running it for troubleshooting and it assign ID that gateway already used.
So I created dummy ID in MYSController to ensure that node does not use the first one
