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 ]
}
I can nothing say about OpenHAB or PiDome but:
Started!
0;0;3;0;9;read: 0-0-0 s=0,c=0,t=0,pt=0,l=0:
0;0;3;0;9;version mismatch
0;0;3;0;9;read: 0-0-0 s=0,c=0,t=0,pt=0,l=0:
0;0;3;0;9;version mismatch
Does not look good, it seems an error from the gateway.
@Michael_K ,
If we go from the front to the back this is what is needed:
1 Node: For example a door bell.
This node sends information to a gateway.
2 The gateway takes the message from the node and sends this to a controller. For instance Openhab or Domotics. This can be done in several ways. MqTT being one.
3 Controller: takes the information and displays it to you.
So in my case, I hardcode Node ID and CHILD ID (the complete door bell is a NODE whereas CHILD IDs may be the button pressed and maybe temperature reading at the same time).
This sends to Gate way that takes the information and creates a MqTT message.
What this message is, please read the instructions on this site.
Perhaps my definition about "controller", is a bit broad here.
What could be done, is to have a thin "controller", that receives MQTT from the existing gateway, hands out IDs if they are requested from a new node, and translate the message into homie compliant topics. That is all it has to do, should not care about the rest of the automation at all. Should also be able to translate back from homie compliant to mysensors.
This could be written in python, c#, javascript, rust etc. The benefit is that you have (relatively) easy editing of configurations at hands, without re-uploading sketches to your gateways / nodes, if you decide that node X should be named Y instead.
And I am in no way trying to treat anyone as a fool!
