ESP8266Wifi Gateway won't connect

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?

@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....

@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_GATEWAY_ESP8266 "Test"
#define MY_WIFI_SSID "SSID"
#define MY_WIFI_PASSWORD "pass"
#define MY_HOSTNAME "ESP8266_GW"
#define MY_MQTT_PUBLISH_TOPIC_PREFIX "mysensors-out"
#define MY_MQTT_SUBSCRIBE_TOPIC_PREFIX "mysensors-in"
#define MY_PORT 1883
#define MY_GATEWAY_MAX_CLIENTS 8
#define MY_CONTROLLER_IP_ADDRESS 192, 168, 1, 142
#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.

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?

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. :)
