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.
Might be helpful for somebody... Things configuration for OpenHab2:
Bridge mysensors:bridge-eth:gateway_2 [ ipAddress="192.168.178.50", tcpPort=5003, sendDelay=200, enableNetworkSanCheck=true ] {
/** define things connected to that bridge here */
light sonoff01 [ nodeId="0", childId="0", requestAck=true ]
}
Never mind figured it out.
There was a problem somewhere in that sketch. basically started from scratch again. merged the W5100 MQTT client gateway sketch and the relay sketch. then referred to here for serial MQTT syntax.
Hope anyone else thats struggling finds this info useful.
@alexeinz figured it out, apparently had to add experimental and get latest mosquitto for the conf file to work correctly , now the bridge is working perfectly
--- broker.conf file in /etc/mosquitto/conf.d
the topics coming from gw will appear under sensor/# on mosquitto
connection MMQTTtoSensor

Qu3Uk,
I did get a chance to test with a Fitbit recently. It technically worked, but not all that well. The thing is, the Fitbit only advertises every 2 seconds so latency is a bit high. But worse, its apps really want to be connected to it often to sync; and whenever it's connected, it stops advertising and the detector then can't pick it up.
TommySharp,
At this point I don't plan to modify the board much but having it read environmental sensors would be a cool feature!
For that, would be nice to make little beacons that read sensors and advertise/broadcast the readings every few seconds. Then they could be very low-power, run on coin-cells for months, and could be placed anywhere instead of needing it to be hooked up to USB power like the main board is. Like these: https://sen.se/peanuts/ I'm curious if it could read them.
As for enclosures, I know. I would love to have some nice ones but at this point I'm making too many boards to 3D print enclosures, but too few to afford injection-molding tooling to make a custom case.
@Yveaux said in serial, Ethernet to MQTT:
Of course, but MySensors MQTT gateway runs just as fine when connected over cabled ethernet, as when connected over wifi
I do not know that
Now on this tool, I do not see much benefit from ethernet to MQTT
Still, it is good from serial to MQTT.
