@kalina Received gateway and tested it. The gateway is good made and work fine. Thank you!
I'm using it as serial gateway for no, but late going to use it as MQTT ethernet gateway with Openhab.
Thank you once more! -
Hi everyone!
Today i have completed the development of new design of the enclosure. The sticker is printed on Oracal film.
-
@kalina the box is really beautiful. Perfect for getting a high spouse acceptance factor. Do you print the film yourself? What kind of printer is required?

No, I don't. This sticker is printed by an advertising company.

Hi Kalina,
I've been searching RF gateway with enclosure for Raspberry Pi and your one seems to fit my needs but I'd like to know what kind of library is used for RFM69.
Thanks in advance.
-
Hi @pointbre, welcome to the MySensors community!
The library used, well, is MySensors :) https://www.mysensors.org/about/iot is a good place to start
Hi @mfalkvidd , thanks for your reply. Does that mean that I can plug this MDMSGate into USB port of Raspberry Pi? I would like to use MDMSGate as a RF gateway(based on RFLink firmware, see http://www.nemcon.nl/blog2/), which can commuciate with Node-Red on Raspberry PI via USB serial connection(see https://nodered.org/docs/hardware/arduino).

Hi @pointbre, @mfalkvidd is right, MDMSGate uses firmware based on MySensors library by default, but if you look at MDMSGate as a hardware device - you can develop you own firmware. Оf course, you can connect MDMSGate to Raspberry via USB (linux already has drivers for CP2102 chip) or Ethernet.

Hello Kalina, I'm new to the whole gateway and sensors world. Can I connect this gateway to a raspberry pi and then use the wifi and 868MHz at the same time? So I can use different types of sensors. Thanks in advance.

Hi @RonnieMace, sorry, but i will answer for your question some later, I want to draw a picture that explains the modes of operation and connection MDMSGate and i need some time. Right now I want to present my new device - MDMSNode "Power"....
-
Ok thanks. It's just that I wonder if it 's possible to have one sensor via wifi and and an other via 868MHz. I'Il wait for your drawing. TThe gateway looks very nice btw.

@RonnieMace
USB, Wi-Fi and Ethernet are using only for connection to controller and you can't use it with different types of sensors. Instead this, you can build gateway which you need, just change jumpers position (and if you want to change radio network you have to change radios). I am drawing two examples of using gateway below.
-
Thanks for the drawing. I understand that the gateway uses or wifi or 868MHz. If I want both I need 2 gateways and connect them to the raspberry controller. Is my assumption correct?

You can use Wi-Fi and 868MHz at the same time, but Wi-Fi is intended for connection to controller only!!! 868MHz is intended for connection to different types of sensors or actuators. You can't establish a connection to any types of sensors via Wi-Fi.

No.
