Migrating from openHAB to Home Assistant

[jocke4u]

Hi,

I am migrating from openHAB to Home Assistant to today I took the the first steps towards MySensors network. MySensors are running in TCP mode on Arduino since a long time. I think I have 2.1.1 of MySensors...it have been so stable and have not patched it for a very long time.

So installed the add-on and configured it as:

mysensors:
  gateways:
    - device: '192.168.1.11'
      persistence_file: './mysensors.json'
      tcp_port: 5003
  optimistic: false
  persistence: true
  retain: true

Restarted one sensor to ensure presentation but the only thing I get in HA logs is

Log Details (WARNING)
Logger: mysensors
Source: __main__.py:356
First occurred: 5:32:30 PM (20 occurrences)
Last logged: 5:35:29 PM

Node 49 is unknown
Not a valid message: value must be float between 0.0 and 100.0 for dictionary value @ data['payload']
Node 3 is unknown
Node 4 is unknown

Do you have any good hints/tips?

You could try to specify the protocol version in the hinge assistant configuration file.

Tried to set

mysensors:
  gateways:
    - device: '192.168.1.11'
      persistence_file: './mysensors.json'
      tcp_port: 5003
  optimistic: false
  persistence: true
  retain: true
  version: '2.1.1'

But get in logs a lot of:

Hmmm, could it be a problem that my old openHAB installation still is active?
Will MySensors Gateway handle different "consumers"?

These are caused by the nodes not correctly being presented to home assistant.
Check https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/sensor.mysensors/ for some examples of what the sketch should do so it is recognised by home assistant.
Mainly presenting the sensors and sending a value to the controller.

[jocke4u]

Thanks @electrik for the update :)
I got it running.
However I think I should make some work on the sensors.
As it seems the Ethernet GW are running 2.1.1 but I think the sensors are running 1.5.x (seen in MysController)

But I get plenty of :

Trying to get my dev environment correct to be able to recompile.

EDIT: Since it have been so stable for a long time I am not up to date with the Arduino environment. My experience from the past is not without issues
