ESP8266Wifi Gateway won't connect

[OldSurferDude]

@hard-shovel My MQTT broker does not require them. Should I uncomment and leave them blank?

[hard-shovel]

@OldSurferDude You should leave them commented if not required.

I have just tested with a new install on windows of mosquitto with config file for anonymous access and it is working fine with them commented out.

what do your gateway debug logs look like?

[OldSurferDude]

@hard-shovel This is what I'm getting (with no nodes connecting to gateway)

Hello have with the gateway constantly disconnects after a few days and I can only reactivate it by resetting on the gateway.

Have now inserted a separate power supply with a large electrolytic capacitor 5000 µF-let's see....

[hard-shovel]

@OldSurferDude You are getting regular GWT:TSA:ETH OK message which i do not and you have no
MSG SENT lines

Which MQTT broker are you using?

my test setup which i hope matches yours is:
MySensors 2.3.2 & ESP8266 core 2.7.4
ESP8266 Node MCU with sketch GatewayESP8266MQTTClient
MY_BAUD_RATE 9600
MY_MQTT_USER & MQTT_PASSWORD commented out
MY_CONTROLLER_IP_ADDRESS 192, 168, 1, 195 address of the MQTT broker
MY_CONTROLLER_URL_ADDRESS "MQTT-TEST-W10" commented out Use IP or URL not Both
MY_PORT 1883

MQTT Broker
Mosquitto 2.0.15 running as a service on a windows 10 machine
listener 1883 anonymous access
URL MQTT-TEST-W10

When connected to the MQTT Broker and receiving messages from a node the gateway shows

09:48:18.962 -> 718935 TSF:MSG:READ,254-254-0,s=1,c=1,t=16,pt=2,l=2,sg=0:0

if a message is sent to the broker the gateway shows

@hard-shovel I created a faux nano sensor and used nRF24L01 channel 121 to communicate to the gateway. Here is my NodeMCU ESP8266 code with all comments taken out:

#define VER 0.4
#define MY_DEBUG true
#define MY_BAUD_RATE 9600
#define MY_RADIO_RF24
#define MY_RF24_CHANNEL 121

#define MY_WIFI_PASSWORD "pass"

#define MY_MQTT_SUBSCRIBE_TOPIC_PREFIX "mysensors-in"
#define MY_PORT 1883
#define MY_GATEWAY_MAX_CLIENTS 8

#include <MySensors.h>
void setup() {Serial.print("ESP8266MySensorsGateway version: ");Serial.println(VER); }
void presentation(){}
void loop(){}

On boot, the gateway generates the following debug output:

60 MCO:BGN:INIT GW,CP=RNNGE---,FQ=80,REL=255,VER=2.3.2

The faux node connects to the gateway indicated by this debug code from the gateway (which is repeated for each "reading" (eg. 204):

1047590 TSF:MSG:READ,2-2-0,s=0,c=1,t=37,pt=2,l=2,sg=0:204
1047656 GWT:TSA:ETH OK

Nothing arrives at the MQTT broker. From another machine, I can publish to the broker:

mosquitto_pub -h 192.168.1.139 -t test/mztake -m "did it arrive?"

and it does arrive at the broker.

What am I missing?

@OldSurferDude you are (at least) missing #define MY_GATEWAY_MQTT_CLIENT.

The sketch you are using is instructing MySensors to create an ethernet gateway.

Example sketch for esp8266 mqtt: https://github.com/mysensors/MySensors/blob/master/examples/GatewayESP8266MQTTClient/GatewayESP8266MQTTClient.ino

[OldSurferDude]

@mfalkvidd said in ESP8266Wifi Gateway won't connect:

#define MY_GATEWAY_MQTT_CLIENT

That was it! Thank you!

OSD

[OldSurferDude]

@mfalkvidd Because I see that the example has a presentation() routine with the comment "// Present locally attached sensors here" I made the assumption that the gateway could have local sensors. I described a local sensor

// local sensor information
#define MY_NODE_ID 3
#define CHILD_ID_GATEWAY_FAUX_SENSOR 0
MyMessage msgFauxSensor(CHILD_ID_GATEWAY_FAUX_SENSOR, V_LEVEL);
int fauxSensorValue = 0;

and put the data acquisition code in the loop:

// Send locally attached sensors data here
 send(msgFauxSensor.set(fauxSensorValue++));
 Serial.print("Value sent: ");Serial.println(fauxSensorValue);
 delay(30000);

Lo and Behold! This data was being found on the MQTT broker! Albeit the NODE_ID was not 3 as defined, but 0. This makes sense because the NODE_ID of the gateway is zero.

Previously, I had my gateway running on an RPi. My question is, can I put a presentation() routine and data acquisition of the gateway running on my RPi?

[mfalkvidd]

delay(30000);

A delay in the gateway will make the gateway freeze. It will not handle incoming messages (not from the mqtt broker, not for any nodes). Use wait() instead.

Yes, it should work. The file to edit is https://github.com/mysensors/MySensors/blob/development/examples_linux/mysgw.cpp

Have you forgotten about https://forum.mysensors.org/post/111806 ?

[OldSurferDude]

@mfalkvidd Yes, totally forgot about that link you put there. Thanks for reminding me. :)
