<![CDATA[Raspberry Pi 3 (RPI 3) gateway initialization loop]]>Hi all,

I have a working ESP8266 gateway with 2 nodes, but I want to move the gateway to my Raspberry.

I followed all the instructions on the website and had a successful installation.

However, I notice that the gateway enters a loop on its initialization and keeps sending the version of MySensors to the MQTT server.

The gateway configuration is:

./configure --my-transport=rfm69 --my-rfm69-frequency=433 --my-is-rfm69hw --my-gateway=mqtt --my-controller-ip-address=127.0.0.1 --my-mqtt-user=user --my-mqtt-password=password --my-mqtt-publish-topic-prefix=mygateway1-out --my-mqtt-subscribe-topic-prefix=mygateway1-in --my-mqtt-client-id=gw_01

My Raspberry runs:

Raspbian GNU/Linux 11 (bullseye)

Where I run Openhab 3.3.0

When I run mysgw or start the service, it keeps sending the same message over an over again (many times per second) as below:

Many thanks for any help.

Thanks for your help all!

This is a clue (or a red herring) because there is a ? in the message.

Hopefully @mfalkvidd can tell us what it means

My thanks for the quick hints.

Yes, Mosquitto is running on the same machine.

I added --extra-cxxflags="-DMY_DEBUG_VERBOSE_GATEWAY to the configure file and also updated the Mosquitto conf as per @mfalkvidd suggestion.

Unfortunately the log did change (see below).

One important comment: the connection is actually successful with the MQTT server as I can see all the publications in it using MQTT Explorer. It seems to me that the problem is with the gateway in some way that keeps sending it non-stop.

The problem happens if I just run mysgw or when I start the service.

This will give more details in the debug log.

Edit: the log file of your mqtt broker might give some iseful info as well.

--my-controller-ip-address=127.0.0.1

you are saying your MQTT broker is on the same machine as your gateway. If, on your RPi you installed your broker with (what I do)

sudo apt install mosquitto

you will have to add the lines to /etc/mosquitto/mosquitto.conf

allow_anonymous true
listener 1883 0.0.0.0

After that, reboot.

Alas, this may not fix your problem. I see you're looping on connecting/connected/sent. I make the assumption that the debug message aren't quite accurate because ... well ... sometimes they aren't.

Let us know if this works :)
