💬 Building a WiFi Gateway using ESP8266

There is no CE pin on the RFM69

Please look right connection diagram. Not nrf24l01+. and you see how to connect. If you do not see you van watch with glasses.

:open_mouth:
Shame on me... I am using a NRF2RFM69 adapter with a CE pin and didn't realize it has no function.

I'm currently adding some wifi gateways at work, I was wondering:

• is ATSHA204 signing support something planned, or will it stay on soft-sign only mode?
• is IRQ support something planned too?

It's mostly to see if I need to plan to add these features on the PCB for later, or not.

Thanks!

@FotoFieber Did you come right with the RFM69? I also struggling to get it working and need to confirm the wiring diagram.

@hek Hi, I am new to arduino but not to Vera, have been using Veralite for a few years, I wuould like to know how to add the Serial Gateway to Vera, I find it very confusing, it would be ideal if a video was created or step by step instructions for newbees like me, I will be more than happy to donate via paypal, Thanks so much

@ramoncarranza

What part is confusing? Did you follow the steps outlined here:
https://www.mysensors.org/controller/vera

[ramoncarranza]

@hek I got it already, I was confused on the Vera Plugin vs the Arduino Plugin not realizing they were both the same, but now I get the following message on Vera
"MySensors plugin : Choose the Serial Port"
"MySensors Plugin[105] : Running Lua Startup"

I have yet to assemble the Serial Gateway though, so I'm assuming the messages will go away once the Gateway is installed??????

Thanks

Yes, once you insert the usb gateway you just have to follow the instructions here:

Thanks so much!!

This thing's Amazing!!!!!!

Hi all,
I try to connect the Radio to Wemos D1 mini Pro and it's not working? I used both ESP8266Gateway and RelayActuator sketches and both Radio Fails...
Are the pins here work fine with Wemos D1Mini?here is the pinout: http://escapequotes.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/d1-mini-esp8266-board-sh_fixled.jpg

And here is the error I get:
TSM:INIT
!TSM:RADIO:FAIL
!TSM:FAILURE
TSM:PDT

thanks,

[korttoma]

If you are using the NRF24L01+ you should wire it according to the instructions here

And use the sketch from the same page.

So check your wiring of the radio module.

[sghazagh]

I used the same link (pins and sketches!). Checked it 10 times!
I think my Radios are not functional....

[korttoma]

@sghazagh maybe you can take a picture of the setup. Maybe someone else can see something that you don't.

[sghazagh]

Good idea,
Here is the side by side image from front and back of the PCB.
The 'j1' marked on wrong pin ,that's why I think my radio is not working at all as it seems it's very bad replicate.
However, I have rotated it by 180 degree and tried that as well. same result!

[sghazagh]

Guys, just an update for my issue regarding Radio and my circuit.
The Radio was faulty, I received the new one, swapped it and all worked fine.

I just posted that here if someone want to use my last post image as a reference for connecting the Radio.
The wiring all are correct.

Thanks

Hi Hek,

Thanks for this guide... I have added an additional 433 RF receiver to my ESP8266 gateway. How can I send the data received from 433 RF to the my Home Assistant controller?

Hello, i have build a wifi gateway and use it in jeedom.
My gateway wifi as connection problem.
In jeedom, in the log of my sensors node I have almost every 2 days the message: diconnected from network gateway.
If I restart the node the communication is re-established.
Is this a problem with nrf24l01?

[derrij]

why esp8266 gateway shows only debug info?
when i comment //#define MY_DEBUG
where is no any serial output.
