ESP8266 WiFi gateway port for MySensors

@Eawo the sonoff does not require any GW to work with Domoticz.

Yes, @alexsh1 is right. You would normally setup ESP nodes (like the sonoff) to act as a gateway, communicating directly with the controller themselves.

But if you're persistent (or have short wifi range), you can get two ESP nodes to communicate with each other using NRF24/RF69 like @mfalkvidd did recently.

Hi. I have loaded the Sonoff as an Ethernet gateway using the modified sketch in Vera and it recognizes it perfectly. The problem I have is that I dont know how to control the relay with the Vera now. Please help.

@hek @Yveaux I see the blocking issue on the ESP side has been closed... Does this mean we can now use the ESP in high traffic environments? How can we test it, I assume we also need to activate IRQ for the NRF in the ESP gateway code?

@Mark-Swift that issue apparently addressed an issue in the vs1053 library, which surfaced because the esp8266 doesn't support interrupts on spi transfers.
The issue was closed because the vs1053 library was modified to support esp8266, unfortunately not because esp interrupt support for spi was implemented...

@Yveaux You're right, should have read more before jumping to conclusions :(

Damn, I thought I could finally dump my serial gateway!

Is it normal to use GPIO15 ? Isn't it used for booting mode ?

[mfalkvidd]

@ahmedadelhosni where is gpio15 used? (This is a very long thread so finding it without your help isn't easy)
