    @nca78 all my sensor are connected on the arduino card with nRF24L01, and the arduino card is connected by usb on my computer. I want tu connect the arduino card at an raspberry pi 3 but she don't recognise arduino card and sensor, however i have put the gateway and sketch of sensor into the arduino card....

    @hyperflemme what controller software are you using on the raspberry pi ?

        @hyperflemme did rebuild the gateway script with #define MY_GATEWAY_SERIAL ?
        Then did you add the gateway in the hardware tab of domoticz ?

          @nca78 domoticz recognize the arduino card, his version of gateway, but into hardware tab if i change the card i have an children "Unknown" with id 3 and an other child unusable with a ID 255.
          in the log of domoticz i have "Gateway ready"

            @hyperflemme so it's good news domoticz can see your gateway.

            Can you post the script you are using now ?

              @nca78 the script of the gateway or the script of one of the sensors?
              I give you both juste here:
              for the gateway i just use this: https://www.mysensors.org/build/serial_gateway and i just added this before inclide mysensors.h:

              #define MY_RF24_CE_PIN 49
              #define MY_RF24_CS_PIN 53

              the script of the sensors is:

              /*
               * The MySensors Arduino library handles the wireless radio link and protocol
               * between your home built sensors/actuators and HA controller of choice.
               * The sensors forms a self healing radio network with optional repeaters. Each
               * repeater and gateway builds a routing tables in EEPROM which keeps track of the
               * network topology allowing messages to be routed to nodes.
               *

              for motion sensor i use a PIR Sensor V1.0

                I think we still do not know the topology of your network and we use different terms.
                For most of us a "sensor" is - temperature sensor, humidity sensor, pressure sensor, etc. These sensors are connected to Arduino, which we call the "node".
                These node are connected through radio or RS485 to Arduino which works like gateway and send received messages from nodes to controller ( Rpi with Domoticz ).
                Usually gateway have got no sensors and you can use pure gateway sketch from examples.
                But you can connect sensors directly to gateway, but you must modify gateway sketch then.

                • setup your sensors
                • present your sensors
                • send values form your sensors.

                And of course NO SLEEP FUNCTION in sensor send code.

                Places, where put it is marked by comments in gateway sketch:

                void setup()
                {
                    // Setup locally attached sensors
                }
                
                void presentation()
                {
                    // Present locally attached sensors
                }
                
                void loop()
                {
                    // Send locally attached sensor data here
                }
                

                Usual topology:
                0_1551265556965_IMG_20190227_113409.jpg

                I think your topology:
                0_1551265601343_IMG_20190227_113420.jpg

                    Use gateway sketch and add sensor presentation and sensor data sending like in node sketch.

                    example from this forum:

                    void presentation() {
                      // Present locally attached sensors here
                        // Send the sketch version information to the gateway and Controller
                      sendSketchInfo("AWI_ESP 120", "1.0");
                    
                      // Register all sensors to gw (they will be created as child devices)
                      present(CHILD_ID, S_DIMMER, "AWI_ESP 120" " dimmer");
                      present(CHILD_ID2, S_INFO, "AWI_ESP 120" " text");
                    
                    }
                    
                    
                    void loop() {
                      // Send locally attached sensors data here
                     	send(msg.set(messageCounter)); 										// Send message to gw 
                    	messageCounter = ++messageCounter % 100 ;							// wrap
                    	send(msg2.set("Hallo")); 											// Send message to gw 
                    	// Send update every SLEEP_TIME
                    	wait(SLEEP_TIME) ;
                    }
                    
                    void receive(const MyMessage &message) {  								// messages from node or controller
                    	//char printBuf[40] ;
                    	//Serial.print(message.getInt());
                    		//sprintf(printBuf, "Message node: %d %d  OK\n", message.sender, message.getInt());
                    }
                    	//Serial.print(printBuf) ;
                    	//sprintf(printBuf, "Messages: %d Errors: %d\n", messageCounter, messageErrorCounter);
                    	//Serial.print(printBuf) ;
                    
                    
                    

                    Search forum here, you are not alone with this solution.
