rpi+mqtt+hass: persistence_file - file does not exist or is not readable

Hey guys,

I have tried a lot but I am running out of ideas:

Anybody knows why I cant create the persistance file?

[martinhjelmare]

@monkee

Hi!

The persistence file will be created automatically when the first updates come in from your sensor(s). The first time you start home assistant with mysensors activated, this log warning is expected.

@martinhjelmare
Thank you for your reply.
I am using the moisture sensor. https://www.mysensors.org/build/moisture
I just copied the sketch. As far as I understand it, there are no changes necessary.

This is some output from the Arduino Seriel Monitor:

Can you help me understand those logs? As far as I interpret it, the moisture sensor runs (but gets no ID from time to time?!) (346778 !TSM:ID:FAIL)....
Does my moisture sensor send updates? Does it work?

Thank you!

[gohan]

@monkee If no ID set it can not work. Try running the clear eeprom sketch and reload your sketch and set ID 2 or 3

[martinhjelmare]

@monkee

If you have the controller connected, ie home assistant, it should answer the request for ID. That doesn't seem to happen.

[monkee]

@gohan Did as you suggested (cleared the rom) and changed the line from "#define CHILD_ID 0" to "#define CHILD_ID 3". Now I get:

0 MCO:BGN:INIT NODE,CP=RNNNA--,VER=2.1.1

@martinhjelmare
I have the controller connected? Means I have started home-assistant on a rpi (connected with the sensor network i hope, as explained here https://www.mysensors.org/build/raspberry ) What could be wrong?

[gohan]

@monkee
it still tries to assign ID 0. Don't you have another arduino to try just to be safe?

[martinhjelmare]

@monkee

Child id is not the same as node id. Use MY_NODE_ID if you want to set a static node id in the sketch.

[martinhjelmare]

@monkee

I see a problem. Your topic prefix reported in the gateway log is not the same as the prefixes you have set in the home assistant config for mysensors.

[gohan]

@martinhjelmare said in rpi+mqtt+hass: persistence_file - file does not exist or is not readable:

@monkee

Child id is not the same as node id. Use MY_NODE_ID if you want to set a static node id in the sketch.

woops, I missed that. I answered while at work and I was in a hurry :D

[monkee]

@gohan
New Arduino wired and conncted, uploaded sketch, etc.
Same result.

@martinhjelmare
I changed the hass cfg to:

417 mysensors:
418   gateways:
419     - device: mqtt
420       persistence_file: '/home/homeassistant/.homeassistant/mysensors.json'
421       topic_in_prefix: 'mysensors-out'
422       topic_out_prefix: 'mysensors-in'

Now its the same as reported in the gateway log...

Its working. Thanks guys!

One last question, just to be clear:
Its fine to have "#define CHILD_ID 0", right?

[gohan]

that is used later in the presentation
