MySensors Ethernet Gateway goes to OFFLINE state

[triceT]

@TimO Thanks for your help....

I'm using nrf24 radio.
When I telnet I receive only this:

Trying 192.168.1.66...
Connected to 192.168.1.66.
Escape character is '^]'.

No mesages are shown

[triceT]

This is what I'm getting on Arduino gw connecting over ethernet and setting skipstartupcheck to false. If I set skipstartupcheck to true, gw is not receiving anything from ethernet.

@triceT Are you sure the gateway isn't in a boot loop? Could you please check serial debug if it gets started over and over again?

[triceT]

@TimO I guess it is not in a loop. Here is the serial debug...

@TimO brief setup: controller and serial gateway on raspberryPi running OH2, serial working OK. Trying to add ESP8266 Huzzah gateway with only local sensor, DHT22 - no radio. It seems I have a similar situation as others, but before I post all my setup and logs a question for you: when using both a serial gateway and ethernet gateway can they be named the same, "gateway", in things file? What bothers me is the "channel" in the items file ends up looking like it is from the same source or am I missing something?

Things file:

Bridge mysensors:bridge-ser:gateway [ serialPort="/dev/ttyMySensorsGateway", sendDelay=200 ]
{
   /** define things connected to that bridge here */
   humidity         hum01   [ nodeId="1", childId="0" ]
   temperature      temp01  [ nodeId="1", childId="1" ]
   humidity         hum02   [ nodeId="1", childId="2" ]
   temperature      temp02  [ nodeId="1", childId="3" ]
   humidity         hum03   [ nodeId="1", childId="4" ]
   temperature      temp03  [ nodeId="1", childId="5" ]
   power            power01 [ nodeId="2", childId="0" ]
   mySensorsMessage mySMsg01    [ nodeId="999", childId="999" ]
}
Bridge mysensors:bridge-eth:gateway [ ipAddress="192.168.1.113", tcpPort=5003, sendDelay=200 ]

   humidity         hum04   [ nodeId="3", childId="0" ]
   temperature      temp04  [ nodeId="3", childId="1" ]
}

Items file snippet (hum02/temp02 on serial GW and hum04/temp04 on eth GW)

Number mHum                 "Master Humidity [%.0f %%]"             <humidity>      (grpChart,grpTemperatures)  { channel="mysensors:humidity:gateway:hum02:hum" }

[TimO]

@carlyler The name must be unique for each gateway. So please change that first and report back, if that solves the problem.

[TimO]

@triceT Just to make sure it is still working with the current snapshot I made a clean install.

I've used:

• OH2 Snapshot #631
• current Binding
• MySensors 2.0.0
• Ethernet Gateway (Arduino Uno + Ethernet Shield + NRF24L01+)

Everything works just fine, so don't give up! :-)

[carlyler]

@TimO thanks for the reply. I changed mysensors:bridge-eth:gateway to mysensors:bridge-eth:ethGateway in things and items, restarted OH2, reset ESP8266, several times, but no luck. If I read this right the GW is not trying to do much, ie get node id, present sensor, send data, etc. Any idea?

GW serial:

0;255;3;0;9;MCO:BGN:STP

@carlyler Serial log looks good. The gateway is receiving it's IP per DHCP, right? Is the IP you configured above still correct? I prefer a static IP for my gateway to prevent a changing of the IP.

Is the gateway reachable by ping? Are you able to connect with "telnet IP 5003" to the gateway?

[carlyler]

@TimO DHCP: yes, but it is actually static by way of reserved addresses via MAC in the router.
IP: same
ping: yes, works
telnet, yes, all I see is:

0;255;3;0;14;Gateway startup complete.

Serial is OK? I do not see the send of the Temp and hum; it is printing it because there is code to do that, but I am expecting the MySensors send command; right? My thought was it is not transmitting them for some reason. This is an area I am not confident about and have yet to find a good explanation of it: how a GW handles local sensors. Thoughts?

[triceT]

@TimO I have the exact hardware (Mine is Chinese) and SW versions as you, but still can't connect via Ethernet gw. I will not give up till it is working :) I've ordered another Ethernet shield and will try with the new one.

Regards

[carlyler]

@TimO Good news! I finally got it to work; I have been using the dev, 2.1.0, and decided to try master, 2.0.0 and it came right up! I did notice one thing though that you may be interested in: if I start the ethGateway after OH2 is up, or turn it off and back on, the binding does not reconnect. Not sure if there is anything you can do about that.
One other change to mention (before changing to v2.0.0): I found a note from hek about the node id of gateway local sensors will always be 0; I changed that in my things file and in my sketch.

@hek I could be wrong, or maybe something has changed configuration wise but as you can see from above posts, dev branch v2.1.0, the radioless ethernet (ESP8266) gateway with local temp & hum sensors was not sending local sensor data. When I switched back to master v2.0.0 it started sending.

@carlyler
The issue with the oh2 binding is known. You have to restart oh2 or just the binding through oh console and binding:restart
Maybe an update of the binding may help but I didn't try yet.

[carlyler]

@jogant Thank you. I did not know about the binding restart so I will look into that.

[jogant]

@TimO
yesterday I tried the new binding with OH2 b4 and I have exactly the faulty behavior as described before. The gateway goes in online state but none of the mysensor node items goes online. They remain uninitialized. I restored the older binding and everything works well again. As it is the same behavior that @pentti12 describes I think it has to with the binding itself.

@pentti12 : please try attached binding as that works for me. 0_1482134888619_org.openhab.binding.mysensors-2.0.0-SNAPSHOT.jar
it is an older snapshot from November, 7th.
Good luck

[pentti12]

@jogant I moved to different location here in Espoo, so it will take a couple of days before I can continue with proposed MySensors binding, but it is good to know that there is at least one working solution available.

[TimO]

@jogant you're right, as stated in the wiki the current binding version is only working together with the current snapshot release. I had no luck while trying to create a binding that is backward compatible.

[jogant]

@TimO

now I tried the new combination of a recent OH2 snapshot as of 2016-12-21 with the recent mysensors binding. I had to restart the gateway and every single node but then everything works well. The nodes were found in the inbox and could be acknowledged as new things. Values are transmitted regularly and my relay node follows the switch items as desired. So no glitch at the moment.
Well done @TimO.
