GWT:TPC:CONNECTING

DenisJ

Are other devices on the network able to get an ip address?

Yes I have a lot of device on my home lan, but not more than 50.
and I have a DHCP IP from 200 to 250.
I have try a fixed IP, but same think.

Is there some command in order to have more debug info please ?

Thanks a lot for the help.

Dear @mfalkvidd
on the same ESP32 Gateway board I write a simply web server schetch from here.
Then at the first reset the ESP32 take a new IP from DHCP server(router) without any problem.

So I think that there is something wrong in my schetch... but what can be ???
...because this GTW was working for weeks until now.
Just yesterday is stop working with always this error:

323366 GWT:TPC:CONNECTING...
324370 GWT:TPC:CONNECTING...
325374 GWT:TPC:CONNECTING...
326378 GWT:TPC:CONNECTING...
327382 GWT:TPC:CONNECTING...
328386 GWT:TPC:CONNECTING...
329390 GWT:TPC:CONNECTING...
330394 GWT:TPC:CONNECTING...
...

The unique thinks that I have changed yesterday,
it was the new PCB arrived for the sensor nodes:

I have mount one of this and test it for about one hour in order to understand better antenna.

It worked for some rounds and then boom... nothing arrived on my MQTT broker.
So I connect the gateway at the USB in order to debug and I so that the GTW can not take the IP.

I paste here my GTW schetch... maybe there is something that I can add in order to understand the problem.

I just discover that if I comment the:

//#define MY_GATEWAY_MQTT_CLIENT

...then the Gateway is connect to the WiFi router.

I have try another time with commented out the define of MY_GATEWAY_MQTT_CLIENT.
and I so that the GTW get the IP but after there is fail log on eth.

I take out the MySensors official distro
and I put on line the 2.4.0-alpha version.

Now I have the eth connect but I have a lot (too much and too quick) "GWT:TSA:ETH OK" messages

I understand that I forget the "#define MY_GATEWAY_MQTT_CLIENT" was commented out.

So when I uncommented it, all return back with the:

169206 GWT:TPC:CONNECTING...
170210 GWT:TPC:CONNECTING...
171214 GWT:TPC:CONNECTING...
172218 GWT:TPC:CONNECTING...
173222 GWT:TPC:CONNECTING...
174226 GWT:TPC:CONNECTING...

So if I take out all the MQTT story, the GTW is connect to WiFi and I can ping it.
When I put back the MQTT rows the GTW is not connected and I always have the GWT:TPC:CONNECTING

I try with another ESP32, I try with another MQTT broker... I don't know anymore what to try :-(

A little help will be so appreciated

Thanks again
Denis

@DenisJ I have the same problem. Works with

#define MY_GATEWAY_ESP32

but with

#define MY_GATEWAY_ESP32
#define MY_GATEWAY_MQTT_CLIENT

it dosen't. But when I changed the delay to 3000

bool gatewayTransportConnect(void)
{
#if defined(MY_GATEWAY_ESP8266) || defined(MY_GATEWAY_ESP32)
	if (WiFi.status() != WL_CONNECTED) {
		GATEWAY_DEBUG(PSTR("GWT:TPC:CONNECTING...\n"));
		delay(3000); // Was 1000
		return false;
	}
	GATEWAY_DEBUG(PSTR("GWT:TPC:IP=%s\n"), WiFi.localIP().toString().c_str());

in MyGatewayTransportMQTTClient.cpp then it started to work! :)

Thanks a lot @smilvert ...for me it's a big step forward, cause is 2 days that I'm so angry with this connections
I don't understand why I test a lot of Arduino schetch that use ETH+MQTT and was work all,
but MySensors use something that is not work always...

Now my GTW is connect (eth and mqtt) but then it goes in error:

Do you think is a hardware problem ?

Thank you so much for the help
Denis

smilvert

No I have no idea. For me it seems to work.

Currently I don't have any sensors conncted so its hard to see if it works.

electrik

Do you have the latest ESP32 framework installed?

DenisJ

@electrik said in GWT:TPC:CONNECTING:

Do you have the latest ESP32 framework installed?

I use Ardiono IDE and I have Espressif Systems version 1.0.6 installed on boards manager.
It tell me that is the last.
Do I must install other please ?

Thanks a lot
Denis

electrik

That should be okay. Maybe use the mysensors stable release 2.3.2?

DenisJ

Thanks a lot @electrik ... but I was on stable release when the problem has began.
For this reason I download the DEV version, but I have the same problem.

There is surely something stupid think that is wrong, but I don't know what is it.
This gateway was working for more than a month.

Thanks again

And if you change the lines like below now?

	if (WiFi.status() != WL_CONNECTED) {
		GATEWAY_DEBUG(PSTR("GWT:TPC:CONNECTING...\n"));
		delay(3000); // denis: era 1000 dar l am schimbat pt. ca nu se lega la MQTT 
		return false;
	}
	GATEWAY_DEBUG(PSTR("GWT:TPC:IP=%s\n"), WiFi.localIP().toString().c_str());
#elif defined(MY_GATEWAY_LINUX)
#if defined(MY_IP_ADDRESS)
	_MQTT_ethClient.bind(_MQTT_clientIp);
#endif /* End of MY_IP_ADDRESS */
#elif defined(MY_GATEWAY_TINYGSM)
	GATEWAY_DEBUG(PSTR("GWT:TPC:IP=%s\n"), modem.getLocalIP().c_str());
#else

Yes, but now use the 2.3.2 release with this modification

DenisJ

Yes... good idea :-)
I'll try now.

Thanks a lot
Denis

DenisJ

@electrik said in GWT:TPC:CONNECTING:

2.3.2 release

I can't believe... IT'S WOOOOOOORK !!!
Thanks a lot @electrik !!!

I don't know why, and I don't understand... but with 2.3.2 release it's work if I make that modify in the MyGatewayTransportMQTTClient.cpp file.
Also I don't like that I must modify that time... but for now it's ok.
Also I don't understand why 2 days ago it's change same hardware and same soft,
from work to no work (I don't know haw to tell this in english) :-)

Thanks so much again :-)
Denis

electrik

Good to hear! Perhaps a GitHub issue should be raised for these points...

DenisJ

@electrik said in GWT:TPC:CONNECTING:

Well... if the DEV version is not work even if I make that change... I don't know.
I thinks this part is too sensibile. I'm not a programmer, but I think that this important part of communication must be renovate.

Tomorrow I can return to my node sensors test.
Thanks a lot all for the help.
