@evb - correct!

@LastSamurai Thanks for the image, I had the address as localhost instead of the IP of the raspberry PI, changed it and everything works now @gohan , yes, I upgraded to beta version since release doesn't have MQTT support yet.

@user2684 Thanks a lot

@benhub - ok, there are some things you need to consider, and that is the space of the adapter. I read now i "suggested" this adapter, but let me clear it it is not tested, maybe a language barrier from my side. You need to consider that it fits in the board and do not crash into other compontens, like the arduino. If it does, you maybe need to consider some other board or even build one.

@maltimus - thanks, I can see the picture. frstratingly I have the Vera Edge though!

slight bump to this topic rather than starting a new one since I have some more questions Are there any example sketches for setting variables on a node? Thinking I'd want at least 2 variables. Is there a proper way for a node to report time to the controller or other nodes? This one will be powered 100% of the time so responding to messages shouldn't be a problem. I'm pretty sure I know the answer to this one but best way to set up a sketch to report the temp every X when it isn't the main function of the node. Thanks in advance.

@daulagari There are some on AliExpress. A bit cheaper than Antratek but not much. Not 100% sure you get the Uno shield adapter but it seems so. Still no big deal with the price since we only need one gateway.
