💬 Building a Raspberry Pi Gateway
-
Thank you for your help here!! would be great to have mysgw on the OPI!
I am using armbian on a OPI zero, so let me know if you need any further info.(Also using an RPI, which runs mysgw with direct connected radio like a charm!)
Kind regards,Tag

@marceloaqno said "MySensors uses its own nrf24 drivers, and OrangePi is not currently supported. It will be in the future."
I wish it worked now, but I don't mind waiting. Just to clarify where I'm coming from -- Orange Pi One hardware running Armbian. Thanks!
I'll be keeping watching the updates!

Really thanks a lot for your work and very much appreciate you try to help us on our "fight" with the OPI board.
Sadly in this moment I cannot work because I'm out of time to try install all softw stuff on my OPI and try help much more to push it working with mysgw and so on.
I don't understand so much why is not working out of the box and the driver issue found and/what hardware communication issue are only on OPI with that similar derived Raspbian OS like Raspberry, and too not understand why cannot work on OPI because that SPI bus issue you say.
@aand reported nrf24 module work very well with TMRh20 driver, so seems hardware are OK on OPI for the module and I suppose still only discover and hopefully make it work avoiding the driver issue you say to compile properly mysgw softw.
Anyway, I only hope that anyone can help mainly here to make work mysgw on OPI too, and adapt it to work on Armbian, because OPI is a really good choice for HA controller board and sure in near future much people use it.Is there any chance to substitute own nfr24 driver mysgw with the TMR20h, at least for testing purposes on OPI?
If any mysgw "code" people are reading this maybe can try to help us with some idea to try workaround the compilation issue on OPI.
Best regards and again many thanks!
PD: Only for test SPI purposses on armbian this can help (post 248) :

@musthafa Openhab2 works using mysgw configured as an ethernet gateway. This is the guide I used: https://github.com/tobof/openhab2-addons/wiki
-
Hello.
I'm also using a orangepi one and wanted to build the gateway on it. But i didn't want to use the nrf24 but a usb to rs485 converter. But if i want to compile it, i get also the same error with the nrf24 and that it is not supporting platform. Why?
Also if i want to build a serial gateway with a connected arduino on usb port, i got the same error with the nrf24
-
@marceloaqno thank you.
I have already installed OpenHAB 2 on my RPi. Can I install mysgw on to the same RPi ?
-
@hausinger -- are you running armbian on your orange pi one?
-
How can I update MySensors Gateway from 2.1.0 beta to 2.1.0 stable/final release?
-
@musthafa Yes, set the IP Address to 127.0.0.1 in your openhab for the ethernet gateway.
-
@aand said:
@hausinger -- are you running armbian on your orange pi one?
Yes, I'm running on armbian on my orange pi one
-
Hi again!
I spend some time seeing and reading some of the files from the mysensors github build and I see some things that can help to understand why the error raised to @aand trying to compile on OPI.
First say that I´m not a coding expert, so please be nice with my if I´m wrong and say something stupid
I see in the .configure file that the machine detection have H3 Soc and this are fine detected , but then I see that selecting type and CPU flags seems not properly selected to match OPI specs , because on OPI soc H3 have a cpu armv7 (not armv8) and is a A20 and not A53.
So maybe that cpu "selection" is not correct for H3 soc , and is so easy try if anyone that have OPI and have time can change only that values in the config file and try to compile.
All the values on the A20 line seems correct for the OPI H3 soc, so only needed copy them from the A20 line to the H3 line, and give a try.File Configure
.......

local soc=$1

-
Yes...I see. That error is that said @marceloaqno about own mysensors NRF24 drivers and SPI bus adapt for Raspberry, because for now mysensors is only supported at Raspi and arduinos.
On Banana CPU detection seems work better (I agree type seems not good...maybe you can change this on configure file and give a try to compile to see what happends) and I figure can work too on OPI too only changing that I said before, but then is raised NRF24 driver and SPI error.I see that mysensors RF24 driver are derivated from that https://github.com/mz-fuzzy/RF24 build that at same time last this is forked directly from http://tmrh20.github.io/RF24Installer/RPi/install.sh that we know are working fine on OPI and armbian, so I figure that maybe it´s not so much hard to modify mysensors RF24 to adapt to work on OPI.
Hope any mysensors "coder" ear our call and cand give us some hand to make the changes on the mysensors build and we can compile the mysgw to OPI soon.
Cheers
-
As a side coment, the configure file is on the root Mysensors directory that is buid when you complete the first step "git clone https://github.com/mysensors/MySensors.git" on the mysgw install process.
Anyone can edit the file with a plain text editor and change the values for see what happens when try compile.
Regards

@jirm The configure script from MySensor repo is based on the https://github.com/TMRh20/RF24/blob/master/configure. Could you try with theTMRh20 master branch and post the result?

@Oli After these steps:
git clone https://github.com/mysensors/MySensors.git cd MySensorsto switch to the master branch, run:
git checkout masterand reinstall the gateway following the same steps from the instructions.
-
@marceloaqno
i've tried on banana pi pro :cat /etc/debian_version
8.6
cat /etc/bananian_platform
BananaPro
-
@eyesoft thanks for the feedback, we need to add support for SPIDEV driver in order to use the BananaPi.
-
@marceloaqno Sadly I´m so much bussy and traveling for few days and cannot acces to my OPI´s
, but I´m sure someone here (@aand , @hausinger, etc.. ) can give a try on her OPI the things we said before. At least I hope this ...
-
@marceloaqno I see some huge steps up on BananaPi...seems only need add SPIDEV support for make it working...
-
@marceloaqno I am rather copy/paste not a programming kind a guy, so sorry for my lame questions.
pi@raspberrypi ~ $ git clone https://github.com/mysensors/MySensors.git
fatal: destination path 'MySensors' already exists and is not an empty directorypi@raspberrypi ~/MySensors $ git checkout master

@Oli ... try :

@eyesoft same errors

@Oli see commands above how to Install and Build, with git checkout master you are on master if you :
cat README.md
MySensors Library v2.1.0default on git clone you are on development :
cat README.md
MySensors Library v2.2.0-beta
-
@Oli First you need delete all Mysensors directory on your machine.
Then use step by step the guide on Mysensors Gateway installation process:
https://www.mysensors.org/build/raspberry
Dont forget put command sudo on sentences if needed.Regards
-
I wanna update not to re install of MySensors. I thought about something like ./updaterelease or ./updatebeta... I spend hours of make it work before, so I leave it as it is. No time or nerves for fighting next couple of days.
-
@Oli what did you have to do to make it work? It should just be a matter of following the instructions that @jirm linked to.
EDIT: Since you already have the MySensors repo cloned from git, you can update by running
pi@raspberrypi ~/MySensors $ git pullThan run configure, make, etc as per the original instructions.
-
@mfalkvidd I could not find ttyMySensorsGateway on Domoticz. Only ttyUSB0, ttyUSB20 and ttyAMA0. Even after I did ./configure --my-gateway=serial --my-serial-is-pty --my-serial-pty=/dev/ttyMySensorsGateway
-
@Oli so what did you do to make it work?
-
@Oli I´m thinking is hard to "only" update (changing from develop to master branch) directly from github if the repository is not been previously prepared to do this kind of updates... but maybe I´m wrong.
Will be good you give feedback if you get it.
Cheers
-
@mfalkvidd hah... thats a good question, don't know. After dozen or more reinstallations, spending hours on Google I finally make it work. Got some notes but frankly I am worrying it will happen again. Hahaha
-
@Oli ah, ok. Then I'd recommend backing up everything before doing git pull, configure, make, etc so you can restore if it stops working.
-
@Oli
Good !
I like when people can make something work that nobody even knows what it isFor me it usually happens just the opposite I am not able to make work even the things I know perfectly well ... maybe it will be a matter of "bad karma"
-
OK, I did it, I f....g did it, and guess what...
s...t happened again.
Everything went as it should, no errors at all, but no ttyUSBMySensorsGateway...
log error message:
2017-01-03 19:56:38.784 MySensors: Using serial port: /dev/ttyUSBMySensorsGateway
2017-01-03 19:56:38.785 Error: MySensors: Error opening serial port!
2017-01-03 19:56:39.785 MySensors: retrying in 30 seconds...and again...

...any help would be appreciated.

Hello,
Could someone answer: if i have RPi NRF24 GW, how I could connect MYSController from other computer (for example from Windows computer)?
- Is it possible to make that type connection with RPi NRF24 GW?
- May I use some integrated web server for this type of connection in RPi to make it work? Is there are easier solutions?
EDIT: no matter, already answered it by myself
Its easy becose it's like Ethernet GW.
-
@Oli: when you do a "ls /dev" is ttyUSBMySensorsGateway shown ?
-
@Oli: by the way, the name of the port you used is ttyMySensorsGateway, not ttyUSBMySensorsGateway:
@mfalkvidd I could not find ttyMySensorsGateway on Domoticz. Only ttyUSB0, ttyUSB20 and ttyAMA0. Even after I did ./configure --my-gateway=serial --my-serial-is-pty --my-serial-pty=/dev/ttyMySensorsGateway
Is the gateway running, ie, "ps -ef "grep my" shows a process there ?
Cheers,
Luiz
-
@Oli: sorry, correct syntax is ps -ef | grep my

@Oli : the port name is actually ttyMySensorsGateway, you have to correct the definition of the gateway on Domoticz to use it....
Luiz
-
@jacikaas : on MYSController go to Settings -> Gateway -> TCP/IP and add the IP address of the Gateway and use port 5003. It works even if the gateway is feeding data to Domoticz, so you can monitor your sensors in "raw" mode.
Cheers,
Luiz
-
@luizrrocha as You can see, on the picture above, I've wrote that ttyUSBMySensors.... is from my previous backup copy. On the same pictures You can also see that I can choose only from three serial ports: USB0, USB20 and AMA0. Thera are no ttyMySensorsGateway despite that it is present after ls /dev.
And that's the problem, I dont know how to make it present in the serial ports popup menu.
-
@Oli : why not remove the old definition to avoid any trash information and restarting Domoticz to make shure it rereads the port info before creating the new entry ?
And I do not understand why if you are running domoticz and the gateway on the same Pi, why not use a ethernet gateway and set 127.0.0.1 and port 5003 on the Domoticz gateway entry. I did that and never had to worry about USB ports at all.
-
@luizrrocha said:
@Oli : why not remove the old definition to avoid any trash information and restarting Domoticz to make shure it rereads the port info before creating the new entry ?
Of course I did that, I started from the scratch... but when it did not work I try to restore my backup... but it did not work also...

simple... I have no free LAN on my rotuer... there is more, I also have raZberry daughter board (Z-Wave) connected to same Raspberry Pi GPIO port. And till today everything works perfect until... "Better is the enemy of the good"
-
OK I found the solution (thanks to @luizrrocha). I change
./configure --my-gateway=serial --my-serial-is-pty --my-serial-pty=/dev/ttyMySensorsGateway
to
./configure --my-gateway=serial --my-serial-is-pty --my-serial-pty=/dev/ttyUSBMySensorsGateway and now its working.Question is, It's only workaround (in my case) or there is bug in the installation guide?
-
@Oli : if both the gateway and Domoticz run on the same Raspi, there is no physical network involved, hence the 127.0.0.1 dummy local address is used by Domoticz to talk to the gateway on the same machine, just using port 5003... and since you use localhost (127.0.0.1, a virtual network) there is no need to create a virtual USB port which is what you did...
-
@luizrrocha interesting... step by step instruction?
-
@Oli: delete the Makefile.inc file on mysensors folder
./configure --my-gateway=ethernet
make
sudo ./bin/mysgw -b
go to domoticz and create a new MySensors Gateway with LAN, inform 127.0.0.1 as the address and 5003 as the port...that should do the trick.
-
@Oli luizrocha's configuration seems interesting, but just in case your still wanting the serial, from above, has worked for me in the past, but I have since switched to OH2:
@ysinh said:
A tiny hint for the users of domoticz :
./configure --my-gateway=serial --my-serial-is-pty --my-serial-pty=/dev/ttyUSB20
make
sudo ./examples_linux/mysGateway -d i hope this helps
then in the hardware setup
MySensors Gateway USB
serial port: /dev/ttyUSB20
-
I am also not get it to work in Domoticz tried the USB serial and ethernet way.
It's a testing pi. Where i didn't connected the radio. Because it's still in the Nano. Could that be the issue? I guess not.
-
Hi!,
I started a new topic for Mysensors Gateway on OrangePI (OPI), Here
Hope this is okay,
Kind regards,

The Pi MQTT Gateway with IRQ connected may handle better the messages into a loaded network than Ethernet MQTT Gateway where IRQ is not used? (with NRF24)
Also I would like to know if I can use the other pins of RPi to connect some digital sensors directly there.
-
@Oli
Stupid question... Did you mount the radio? Because I thought I would like to test if it works. (without radio) but that doesn't work.Mounted a radio and ethernet gateway is working.
-
Maybe i'm wrong but IRQ is used on all gateways if you read above :
"""
Improving throughput for nrf24
There is another method were the interrupt pin from the nrf24 modules is used to inform when a new message arrives and it's immediately added to a queue for further processing
"""
for the second part yes you can use other pins on RPi ... i have RF module NRF24L01 for gateway and DHT11 on RPi.

@luizrrocha said:
Ditto, @Robinek70 !
Thank you, Marcelo Aquino, for your fantastic work .
I have Domoticz, Cacti, Heyu and MySensors Gateway running in a 30 dollars RASPBERRY PI 2, all without a glitch, all talking to each other and hopefully soon will also have Alexa for RASPBERRY PI running there also.
If in doubt, by a RASPBERRY PI and thank people who develop and support it for free instead of complaining all the time.
'nuff said.
Luiz Roberto
Can you please give me the instructions for Domoticz setup?
I have a node with DHT11 sensor and I can see mygsw service is getting messages. How do I connect Domoticz with mysensors ?
I have been following openhab until today and I'm switching to Domoticz now.

Hello, @musthafa .
For installation I used the tutorial at http://www.domoticz.com/wiki/Installing_and_running_Domoticz_on_a_Raspberry_PI. It looks like they changed the tutorial that I used to just a single curl command to install it, although there are complaints about it not working alright. You'll have to try it as I cannot reinstall mine.
Setting up MySensors Gateway is also covered in the wiki : http://www.domoticz.com/wiki/MySensors, very easy. I recommend you go thru the wiki pages as I did, they are a treasure of information, as the manual on www.domoticz.com is outdated though useful.
Good luck.

MySensors I tried Ethernet didn't work. Virtual Serial Port worked for me. However I have 1 light (LED Test at PIN 4 of Node) & a DHT sensor. Domoticz only lists the DHT sensor. It doesn't show me the light child.
-
@musthafa : look on the MySensors forum for the MYSController, install it and you can monitor the messages going to the gateway.
Most likely your declaration of the LED output pin on the MySensors arduino is not correct. I still did not use arduinos as actuators with MySensors so I will probably not be of much help here.
Cheers,
Luiz

In OpenHAB it worked as a dimmer. Later on OpenHAB was stuck and my mobile app was frozen. Then I start discovering Domoticz. If it can be discovered in OH2 why not in Domoticz ?

@eyesoft
Thank you for the answer, I am happy to get a confirmation about sensors works on a Pi Gateway. Since at least one of my sensor is analogue, I still have to add an Arduino board to the gateway, I plan to connect it via USB.
I have tested and get very good results with Home Assistant controller running on a Pi where I add sensors directly on Pi and to an Arduino (USB to Pi).
The Ethernet Gateway do not use IRQ: https://www.mysensors.org/build/ethernet_gateway
Nor the nodes: https://www.mysensors.org/build/connect_radio Even if the wire is connected at Arduino pin 2, is mentioned: Note: The IRQ is currently not used by the MySensors library so it can be left un-connected
If you know how to connect and manage this IRQ on Arduino sketch, please let me know.
I have built this some time ago and works without the IRQ connected. Now I have updated the MySensors to 2.1.0 , IRQ is still unconnected and works the same. As far as I see, it is used for the Pi Gateway. I plan to migrate to this configuration of Pi Gateway, but I would like to get more info before change my working system:- this IRQ improve the reliability? (sometimes I have encountered problems due the load of NRF24 network with many messages)
- I would like to set retain=true for the MQTT Gateway, this will improve the reliability.
I already addressed the last question somwhere else, still waiting for more info if somebody know.
Thank you

Has there been any progress on the RFM69 version? Looking at the repository, it looks like some of the code is there. I did find this RFM69 driver for the Pi that has a LowPowerLabs interface. Would this help in moving forward?

thanks for all the work on this - a great community moving things forward.

@Mihai
you can attach analogue sensor to ESP2866 with espeasy firmware ... more info here : http://www.letscontrolit.com/wiki/index.php/ESPEasy ... i'm using one ESP8266-12E and i have good results and Uptime: 74209 minutes (usb powered).
i'm using IRQ on NRF24L01 connected to my Rpi, but i don't have many sensor with nrf+arduino (only 2) and i had no problems ... i don't if IRQ improve the reliability and i never play with irq fron nrf on arduino.
regarding retain=true have a look here : http://www.hivemq.com/blog/mqtt-essentials-part-8-retained-messages
for more reliability on mqtt i think you can use qos=1 ( The broker/client will deliver the message at least once, with confirmation required.), but all depends on your set-up .. not all messages need special attention.
-
@Mihai I have not done any extensive testing with IRQ functionality in RPi, I plan to do it in the future, so for now you will have to test it for yourself.
@Madhias Yes, this is the expected output, the gateway is now waiting for messages to arrive.
@pjeran Yes, there is a work in progress with many improvements: https://github.com/mysensors/MySensors/pull/722

Is it possible to use the second ISP on my raspberypi 3 to connect NRF24L01+ and what will be the wiring diagram, also what have to change in mygsw library
-
I have created a patch to enable the use of the RFM69 with a RaspberryPi gateway without the use of an Arduino gateway board.
It has only been tested with my configuration, but it seems to work well for me.
Pull request is here with configuration instructions:
https://github.com/mysensors/MySensors/pull/728Note that it currently requires using some pin other than CS0/CS1 for the chip-select

As far as I understand, MySensors relay on PubSubClient for MQTT and it does not allow to publish messages with QOS=1 or 2, only 0.
Retain is different that QOS, it offers the possibility to recover the state for a device that loose connection for a while (e.g. after a restart). I find it very usefull. For example I have to restart the controller. When come back I got all states to their real values if retain=true. Otherwise they goes to the default, usually 0.
I have now 6 nodes, each with several sensors and relays.

please help
every time after reboot i have to run this codesudo ./bin/mysgw -dso built a virtual usb but after reboot ....
how put this code in startup ?
please help thank you
-
From the Building a Raspberry Pi Gateway article:
If you wish to install:
sudo make installThe last command will provide instructions for your system on how to start the gateway on every boot.
-
@marceloaqno
i do it but after reboot serial lost again
just with command work againsudo ./bin/mysgw -d
-
@marceloaqno
i'm sorry
after sudo make install i must run this lines:sudo systemctl enable mysgw.service sudo systemctl start mysgw.servicesorry thank you
-
@marceloaqno can you build a rs485 gateway on raspberry pi ?
-
@Mihai yes you are right
-
This data that I get when I run ./mysgw --d , where is it stored and how can I get it to push it on cloud? Please help.
-
Data is not stored... to store the data and do something usefull with it (or not) you need a controller. I use mycontroller, and from this software you can "push" data to an external server.
I use my controller, but i am sure that other controller software also has this feature.
-
@Tag , The controller must be using something to get the data right? How can we do it directly without using the controller?
-
@hek It looks like development is the default branch in the repository. I was following the build instructions and couldn't figure out why I kept getting "connection refused". Just typing up a troubleshooting post when I saw my log said 2.2.0-beta. Sure enough when I grabbed master(2.1.0) instead it ran fine. Should probably add a checkout in the instructions.
-
@pete1450 could you clarify which instructions should be updated?
The instructions at https://www.mysensors.org/about/arduino recommend using the Arduino IDE Board manager, which will get the latest stable version.
Edit: Now I see. The link in the first post in this thread. It doesn't mention the master branch because up until Dec 25th the development branch was required. But now that 2.1 has been released the instructions should indeed use the stable version. I've updated the instructions. Thanks for noticing!
-
This is also new for me since i do not send data into any cloud... but i can imagine that you can use MQTT. (see https://www.mysensors.org/build/mqtt_gateway for more details) is important that the receiving side supports MQTT. in this case google is your friend
if you do a ./configure --help you will find you can build the mysensors gateway with MQTT support
./configure --help ... --my-gateway=[ethernet|serial|mqtt] Gateway type, set to none to disable gateway feature. [ethernet] --my-node-id=<ID> Disable gateway feature and run as a node with given id. --my-controller-url-address=<URL> Controller or MQTT broker url. --my-controller-ip-address=<IP> Controller or MQTT broker ip. --my-port=<PORT> The port to keep open on gateway mode. If gateway is set to mqtt, it sets the broker port. ...

ran sudo ./bin/mysgw -d
I keep getting mysgw: accept: Bad File Descriptor.
Any possible cause ?
-
I am trying to get the raspi ethernet gateway running but on both my pi 3 (also running openHAB) and the pi B (pretty basic install).
Unfortunately I get the same error on both.
Any ideas what could be going on here?
I am running the latest gateway and the latest raspbian.
mysgw: Starting gateway... mysgw: Protocol version - 2.1.0 mysgw: MCO:BGN:INIT GW,CP=RNNG---,VER=2.1.0 mysgw: TSF:LRT:OK mysgw: TSM:INIT mysgw: TSF:WUR:MS=0 mysgw: TSM:INIT:TSP OK mysgw: TSM:INIT:GW MODE mysgw: TSM:READY:ID=0,PAR=0,DIS=0 mysgw: MCO:REG:NOT NEEDED mysgw: connect: Connection refused mysgw: failed to connect mysgw: Eth: connect mysgw: connect: Connection refused mysgw: failed to connect mysgw: Eth: connect
-
I am using a Rasp Pi 3 as well.
I can't even proceed further in the tutorial cause of this error cause nothing works after it.
-
@marceltrapman @LaMB95
Could you post the complete ./configure command used to configure the gateway?
-
@marceloaqno Sure, forgot it
sudo ./configure \ --my-gateway=ethernet \ --my-controller-ip-address=192.168.1.xx \ --my-port=5003 \ --my-transport=nrf24
-
@marceltrapman Are you sure it's not a problem with your controller?
Have you tried connecting to your controller using telnet?telnet 192.168.1.x 5003
-
@marceloaqno !
Is this what you meant?
-
@marceloaqno not sure no.
So, I downloaded telnet on the same raspi that I want to use as the gateway and the issue seems to be that port 5003 is not available.
Funny but how do I solve this.
It can't be an issue with the firewall because it allows all traffic on the internal network.
-
@marceloaqno and the same from the controller to the gateway gives the same error on that port
-
@Reza Yes, you can use rs485 in the RPi.
./configure --my-transport=rs485 --my-rs485-serial-port=<YOUR_SERIAL_PORT>For more options, run:
./configure -h
-
@LaMB95 No, I meant the options you used when you ran ./configure

@tiana
"The Broadcom SoC has three independant SPI interfaces, however only one of these is brought out to the GPIO connector, and that one SPI interface has 2 Chip enable lines."
More info here: https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=44&t=22608
-
@marceloaqno from the docs I assume it is the gateway that has to open up port 5003 but I guess it does not because it can't connect to the ethernet (for some reason) or am I wrong?
-
@marceloaqno
i means that without arduino and usb port, similar to raspberry gateway ( raspberry +nrf24)
i means connect rs485 module to GPIO raspberry pi with domoticz
-
I m sorry I m new to using a raspberry pi and its for a project.
But if this is not what you asked for could you be a little more specific :$
-
use sudo
