4. MySensors addon never detects my nodes

MySensors addon never detects my nodes

  • pentaglut

    Hello,
    I have been trying this new controller but could not make it work with mysensors. The sensors never get properly detected.
    I have flashed the webthings image on my raspberry sd card, and configured it. Then I turned my raspberry to a gateway by downloading and compiling the development version of the gateway. I configured it as an ethernet gateway.
    When I read the logfile of the gateway, I see communication with my nodes seems ok. I have a temperature and humidity sensor running, I can see its traffic:

    I'm running mySensors v 2.3 on my node.
    I have installed the mySensors addon for webthings, configured it for ethernet.
    When I try to detect sensors, I have the following output from WebThings logfile:

    I have tried to reset my nodes to have them present themselves, but same result they do not appear in webthings interface after detection.
    Any idea of what i'm doing wrong?
    Thank you

    • Have you physically restarted your nodes? You need to for them to show up. I don't see any incoming device data in your log.

    Thread already existed

    • Don't jump into the "add new things" page immediately. Give it a minute so it can grab the data from your devices first. That thread is still busy.

    Thank you for your help. I had restarted my nodes with reset button.
    I tested the following today:
    -restart my raspberry gateway
    -restart mysgw.service. Don't know why, it starts automatically and then gets killed:

    Aug 07 20:48:57 gateway systemd[1]: Started MySensors Gateway daemon.
Aug 07 20:49:40 gateway systemd[1]: mysgw.service: Main process exited, code=kil
Aug 07 20:49:40 gateway systemd[1]: mysgw.service: Failed with result 'signal'.

    So I have to restart it manually with sudo systemctl start mysgw.service .
    -Once the service was active , I turned on my sensor at 20:57. mysgw log says:

    Waited two minutes as proposed, then I went back to Webthings gateway and triggered a thing detection. It does not seem to work better:

    Finally says no new things found.
    So I'm afraid I did not make any progress since yesterday 😓

    incoming message > internal > id: 0; child: 255; subtype: 14; payload: Gateway startup complete.

    Well, the good news is it does look like it's working. Perhaps the problem is in your mysgw settings or your nodes? Are they on the same channel? Do they use encryption? Perhaps the issue is that you're using the beta version of MySensors and your nodes don't?

    Try running the mysgw in debug mode and make sure that any data from your nodes is actually coming in.

    The log shown in the previous post is the one from the mysensors gateway:

    Aug 07 20:57:49 DEBUG TSF:MSG:READ,4-4-0,s=1,c=1,t=0,pt=7,l=5,sg=0:24.71
Aug 07 20:57:49 DEBUG TSF:MSG:READ,4-4-0,s=0,c=1,t=1,pt=7,l=5,sg=0:62.34
Aug 07 20:57:49 DEBUG TSF:MSG:READ,4-4-0,s=255,c=3,t=0,pt=1,l=1,sg=0:10

    Can i get a more verbose debug?
    I think the communication between the nodes and the gateway is fine since gateway is displaying the temperature and humidity of the node.

    Could it be a problem between the mySensors gateway and the webthings gateway? The mySensors is built with the following options:
    --my-transport=rf24 --my-gateway=ethernet --my-port=5003
    The mySensors plugin for webthings is configured to connect by ethernet on 127.0.0.1.

    Thanks for your help.

    Normally you can use the log parser to get more info but it looks like it doesn't have support in it for those debug log records: https://www.mysensors.org/build/parser

    Since you are getting an incoming message from the mysgw, it seems that the route between it and the add-on it working. If you can get one message, you should be able to get all of them.

    The add-on is built on top of the PyMysensors library. I don't know if it supports your beta version. Here is the code that starts it.

    I believe @rmalbers has (had) the ethernet version working?

    • Try testing with mysensors version 2.2. That's 100% supported.
      - Have you tried adding a port number to the IP address? 127.0.0.1:5003

    @pentaglut Did you manage to get it working in the end?
