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.
Ive started out with openHAB2. I was using a Ethernet gateway and tested the mysensors binding but found the combo was too limited. I much prefer having the MQTT gateway and the data be accessible to anything that subscribes, although I also now use openHAB to republish its item changes to MQTT as well which is probably a better approach.
I don't think the main new features in version 2 are very mature at the moment as well, discovered things for example get put in to a non human readable database and the web ui's are not fully functional.
With that being said I'm using node red to provide node ID's and configuring items manually and since beta3 it's been solid as a rock.
@micah said in Can't get OpenHAB2 to see my MQTT messages:
I'm still not sure if the second and third line in the mqtt-eventbus.cfg is correct. I don't have MyMQTT anywhere else, so I think I may try different combinations to see what works.
MyMQTT should be replaced with brokername (mysensors in this example). openhab will then publish the event to the mqtt broker on its topics (useful if you use f.eks. node-red for openhab rules)
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.
