RFID sensor, no messages from MQTT GW (reboot on sending)

[mortommy]

hi @mfalkvidd ,
yes that comment was from a different logic I had implemented, now I decided to send just the new status and don't request it to the controller (the new status will be sent anyway from the controller).

The controller sends the status to the MQTT Gateway when it changes, I already verified that the mqtt broker receives the correct message from the controller (it the same message sent when the sensor requests the status in the initialization step). I have monitored the sensor, I can see log from the receive method only when the the sensor receives the first initialization message and then nothing.

Thank you.

@mortommy ok. So you know the mqtt broker receives the message and that the node does not receive it. That should mean that the message is getting lost in one of the following places:

• from the broker to the gateway
• in the gateway
• from the gateway to the node

What does the gateway log say when the initial message goes through all the way? What does the gateway log say when the later message is lost?

thank you again @mfalkvidd .
We are in the in the second case: in the gateway

I run this test.

• Enabled debug in gateway
• powered on the gateway
• sent a test message to a knew working sensor (ID 3, V_STATUS = 0)
• sent a test message to a knew working sensor (ID 3, V_STATUS = 1)
• powered on the rfid sensor (ID 10)
• then the rfid sensor sent the request initial status to the gateway
• the controller sent the message to the gateway (V_LOCK_STATUS = 0)
• the gateway sent the message to the sensor and the sensor went to V_LOCK_STATUS = 0
• I sent manually a new status to the rfid sensor using directly the mqtt broker (same mqtt message used by the controller)
• the gateway receives the message but it reboot by itself!

I saw in the past this behavior for power issue, but my gateway is working for a while now, and it is working with other sensors.

here's the gateway log

thank you

[mfalkvidd]

@mortommy great! So we know there is nothing wrong with the node, which is great news.
I think I have seen several posts in the forum the last few weeks about rebooting gateways. I don't think I have seen any solutions unfortunately :(

[mortommy]

thank you for your support, yes the sensor is working. It is the first time I'm using the request status logic, I'll try something different to be sure it is not related to the issue.

[gohan]

@mfalkvidd weren't the reboot related to boards definitions?

[mortommy]

No news, nothing changes. It happens only if I define a sensor with an id greather then 9

[mortommy]

@gohan , boards definition? The sensor type?
Thank you.

[gohan]

@mortommy i read that some people had the gateway reboot issue and downgraded the arduino board definitions (in board manager) back to 1.6.13 and they solved the problem

[mortommy]

ok, some news here:

• first of all I fixed my issue with the gateway disabling the debug as suggested here.
• I had anyway some messages lost. Looking at the mqtt broker I couldn't see any message telling me the gw was rebooting and not only messages from gw to sensor were lost also between sensor and gw. I tried to remove the decoupling capacitor and is everything working.

thank you
