Vera - Can't create GW device with UI7 files
-
I don't have a Vera edge, but a Vera lite and I found that I could not really trust a serial gw. I don't think the Vera can provide enough current on its USB port so my nano acted strange. I have decoupled everything with node-red now so all my controllers communicate using ethernet/tcp ports and I once more use a serial gw connected to a raspberrypi (but with the option in node-red to switch to an ethernet gw if I wanted to without changing anything in the controllers). It also makes debugging things a lot easier since all io between gw and controllers can be monitored.

@Nbaars - I'm not sure how you tell? it was advertised as an Arduino Nano, not a copy or clone or "compatible", but I don't know if you can rely on that. Is there an easy way to tell?
@Anticimex - interesting idea. I might explore it, but I'm pretty satisfied with my straight Ethernet GW now (except for it being a pain to debug)

Never got it working, but quit trying because of Ethernet GW has been fairly reliable lately. I've tried two different Nano's (bought from the links on mysensors site. But I assume they are clones. I'm not sure how to verify one is genuine, do you?
I'd love to get it working as an option.

Hello not sure if you are still active or what but the below link may help i recently tried to make a gateway with a nano a failed like you guys have however after reading the below forum it turn out that you need to have a nano with a FTDI chipset for the gateway i went and bought one, they are a bit more expensive then the cheaper ones but I've plugged it in and tested it and it now it works fine i hope that it help

Hey @kylehull .. thanks for the response. I've heard that before, about the need to have a genuine FTDI chipset. I had previously dug out the magnifying class and i'm pretty sure my Nano (that didn't work) says "FTDI" on the serial chipset. (not sure if there is another way to tell)... but based on the symptoms, I guess maybe it didn't..
either way, since the 2.0 libraries game out, I rebuilt my Ethernet GW and it has been rock solid. So I'm not going to rock the boat there :-).
thanks for following up on this old thread, though. I'm sure it'll help others.

So, to get rid of my error messages "Can´t Detect Device" I have to build a Ethernet gateway instead of having the serial gateway?
@miro are you getting the "Can´t Detect Device" for MySensor devices? That is a new one. If your device is working normally try going in to the advanced variables tab for your device and see if there is a variable called "CommFailure" and change the value to 0. Restart the luup engine.
