Temp-Monitoring using OpenHab, MQTT, Pi 3 & Uno
-
Thank you @waspie, for the follow-up
I have actually made a big mess of everything trying to use different tutorials, OH documentation, ect...
I am a little more familiar with OpenHab now, especial thanks to @bgunnarb 's comment, it helped me understand the "sequence" and breakdown each step separately.
I decided to start with a fresh OpenHabian install and go at it again.
I am curious about MQTT Broker version to use, in the tutorial it says:
"There are compatibility issues on the latest release of openHAB (2.4). I will review this i more depth but for the moment you can add the compatibility with legacy bindings and install MQTT1 instead of the new binding."is the above statement still valid? does MQTT1 actually still work? should I absolutely not use the new MQTT Broker? because I have read other posts that got the new broker working...
Thank you

2.4 works well enough. there were some big bugs squished with 2.5m1 hot on 2.4's heels.
If you're planning to use this more and more (and you likely will once you start to see what you can do) stick with the 2.x implementation of MQTT. I don't know how openhabian handles things. If you can, disable whatever bundled MQTT broker openhabian has and use the built in broker (for the sake of simplicity).Enable/install the embedded (built in) broker by using PaperUI. Go to Add-ons->Misc and install the Embedded MQTT Broker.
Once installed, you'll have a new item in the PaperUI Inbox. That item will be the broker - add it. If you don't get it in your inbox you may still have an external broker running which will keep the embedded one from starting (two processes are trying to use a single port). -
Not sure if you are able to help me out here, but here is what I got so far,
my MQTT1 Broker is running with following config:
mosquitto.url=tcp://localhost:1883 mosquitto.qos=1 mosquitto.retain=true mosquitto.async=false mosquitto.user=openhabian mosquitto.pwd=""- no pwd for mosquitto.
I used the following commmand when installing the MySensors:
./configure --my-gateway=mqtt --my-controller-ip-address=127.0.0.1 --my-mqtt-publish-topic-prefix=mygateway1-out --my-mqtt-subscribe-topic-prefix=mygateway1-in --my-mqtt-client-id=mysensors-1 --my-mqtt-user=openhabian --my-mqtt-password=- Again no password
- I am assuming 127.0.0.1 is localhost as usual, so I left it as 127.0.0.1
Below is the result of : sudo ./bin/mysgw
.

I think all the MQTT/OH stuff looks right but I'm not sure what's going on with the arduino part.
You're using an UNO with an ethernet shield? -
No I am not, I think I spent too much time yesterday on it, and made a mess again :/
I am going to give it an another shot now and see what I can do :)

@waspie said in Temp-Monitoring using OpenHab, MQTT, Pi 3 & Uno:
@nizoo91 right, well then there's no need to be setting IPs and such in the arduino...
Okay I am going to start from the beginning again then, because I just found another post that confused me even more!
@gohan said in Sending data from Arduino to Raspberry Pi via NRF24L01+:"he serial gateway is supposed to be connected via USB and it is sending data over the usb serial port, so for your project you would need an extra Arduino as a sensor node where you will connect the 2 sensors (look at the MySensors library examples) with a NRF24 module that will be sending data to the other Arduino with the other NRF24 configured as serial gateway and connected to the RPI3 via USB. MySensors library allows you to setup your gateway also as Ethernet (with a W5100 shield) or Ethernet with MQTT client (also need the W5100 shield)."
Attached is a picture of what I want to achieve, preferably without an Ethernet shield.
Any advice would be appropriated :/
