I have been facing the same problem all day today. Actually as far as I remember my old nodes used to setup the node assignation to AUTO by default.

Was that changed during the last month ? because I was busy at that period.

[mfalkvidd]

@ahmedadelhosni auto id has been default since inception, as far as I know. It was default 2.5 years ago when I first learned about MySensors. So nothing has changed.

[gohan]

It defaults to Auto if no manual define is set, but it still needs a controller or just myscontroller application that keeps track of the IDs and assign new unused ones.

[ahmedadelhosni]

@mfalkvidd That's what I know but as I have said, I have been facing the same error to assign an ID for my node and it was solved when I change it to static ID... strange !

[angeloS]

i was thinking about this, perhaps as part of a welcome tutorial we connect the GW to a gateway (pick one , an easy one). And whilst doing this we simply explain why the Controller is needed.. this would help newbies like me from the start..

Which controller.. well Ive been looking at openhab but settled on Homeassistant, appears more active that OH

@angeloS do you mean to add information to this page? https://www.mysensors.org/build/select_gateway

The getting started guide already mentions (twice actually) that the controller is responsible for handling automatic node id assignment.

If people don't read the getting started guide, will they really read the Select gateway page?

I have the same situation - mysensors relay node can not find parent. I cleared eeprom and entered manually MY_NODE_ID, but it seems that gateway and node communicate, but fail to make final arrengement.

any ideas what I have to check?

There is a problem with messages sent by gateway or received by node: you either have bad power supply for radio on gateway or bad antenna or antenna alignment or too much distance; could also be interference near the node
