Serial Gateway not connecting - ttyUSB0 in use

[CraigDubya]

I did a ls /dev/tty* and ttyUSB0 had disappeared...so I unplugged the gateway and plugged it back in again (all while mysgw.service is stopped) then another ls /dev/tty* and ttyUSB0 was back. I started the arduino ide and selected ttyUSB0 and in the serial monitor I now have:

When I restart the mysgw.service and do a ls /dev/tty* the ttyUSB0 is shown in blue as opposed to yellow as seen below.

@CraigDubya mysgw.service is partly a software gateway. From earlier posts, it seems you also have a hardware gateway (based on an Arduino Nano). Is that correct?

If so, the two gateways might conflict. Is your intention to run two gateways?

[CraigDubya]

@mfalkvidd Hi,

No, my intention is not to run 2 gateways, I did a make on the mysgw.service and changed the port to ttyUSB020 in the config and restarted openhab. I now have communication with the hardware gateway. It seems it's all working properly now, but I'm a bit concerned that I may still have a software gateway running aswell.

I just rebooted my pi, and whatever I did to get the bridge working has reset, and I'm not getting any node connections anymore :confused:

[CraigDubya]

If I stop the mysgw.service and restart openhab2.service the gateway works fine. So, the mysgw.service is starting on bootup, how do I remove or disable mysgw.service from bootup?

[CraigDubya]

@mfalkvidd Sorry, in answer to your earlier question, that's correct... I have an Arduino Nano connected via USB to the raspberry pi as a hardware serial gateway

[CraigDubya]

Ah I found it using:

sudo systemctl disable mysgw.service

Now when I reboot the pi the gateway is working and my sensor node is reporting correctly.

Thanks for everyones help, it's been 2 years since I last played with openhab and mysensors, and what I learned back then I had mostly forgotten. Also with the openhab and mysensors updates that have happened in that time it's been a struggle to get back on track :grin:

Great work @CraigDuby, thanks for reporting back.

And so here is my serial gateway with 3d printed case:
