I've been able to get MySensors working with HomeGenie using the MQTT gateway. It doesn't have two-way communication or software-based pairing yet, but I'll work on those in the future.
Hey there @Chaotic ! This is Fay from codebender.cc Thank you for using codebender! I just wanted to let you know that one of the sketches you are using in this comment has been deleted and so it is not available for users to view it. Let me know if you have any question.
Although it should not be too difficult to make the MQTT Gateway with WiFi work on hardware and software level it is a bad idea on system level:
WiFi and MySensensor NRF24L01+ use the same 2.4 GHz band and with the antennas close a transmit from one will block the other and vice-versa.
wdt.h is included on Arduino IDE.
This example show how it's work:
#include <avr/wdt.h>
int counter=0;
void setup(){
wdt_disable();
Serial.begin(9600);
Serial.println("Starting...");
delay(1000);
wdt_enable(WDTO_8S);
}
void loop(){
wdt_reset();
Serial.println(counter);
counter++;
if(counter==5){
while(true){}
}
delay(500);
}```
Just one final question... is the approach to MQTT correct or should I stick with simple Ethernet? I was planning on using OpenHab or Home Assistant.
Thank You all
