    Hi all, I am a complete newbie and this is my first try in the smart home area. My goal is to have a few sensors and actors around the house, a raspberry gateway and iobroker as controller.

    So I build the gateway on the raspberry 1 and connected a NRF24L01+ to it. The software build without errors and starting it seems to be successfull. Next I took a arduino uno and connected a HC-SR04 to it. I ran a sketch that I found somewhere and in the serial monitor it reported correct results for different distances. So I added a radio as well, loaded the sketch for the HC-SR04 found on this page and uploaded it. Both gateway and sensor use version 2.3.1. The sensor's the output in the serial monitor is the following:

    16 MCO:BGN:INIT NODE,CP=RNNNA---,REL=255,VER=2.3.1
    26 TSM:INIT
    27 TSF:WUR:MS=0
    33 TSM:INIT:TSP OK
    35 TSM:FPAR
    37 TSF:MSG:SEND,255-255-255-255,s=255,c=3,t=7,pt=0,l=0,sg=0,ft=0,st=OK:
    2046 !TSM:FPAR:NO REPLY
    2049 TSM:FPAR
    2051 TSF:MSG:SEND,255-255-255-255,s=255,c=3,t=7,pt=0,l=0,sg=0,ft=0,st=OK:
    4059 !TSM:FPAR:NO REPLY
    4061 TSM:FPAR

    the output from the gateway is this:

    Dec 15 15:53:16 INFO Starting gateway...

    I tried to replace the radios but this didn't change anything. I don't have any capacitors (ordered some), but as I understand the output, both gateway and sensor seem to work, but won't get a connection. Am I correct that I would see a message on the gateway if/when it receives something from the sensor? I didn't hook up the controller yet. Aside from waiting for the capacitor, can I check something else?

    regards, Hajo

      @hhn10 missing capacitor is the top reason for bad communication so your best bet is to wait for the capacitors to arrive.
