Domoticz as controller **and** a gateway for MySensor nodes running on a Raspberry Pi 2
-
I will need to document this. In the original post I followed to compile the gateway for rpi, this was also mentioned.
I would prefer that the code is corrected in the right place, because I feel the RPI2 should be recognised properly.
Anyway, happy to know there is a +1 user with a raspberry 2 and direct connected NRF24. -
That's the code change I made (makes the 'if' redundant).
I've also changed the tty name (to /dev/ttyUSB40 - which is what I've declared to Domoticz) in this file and in Makefile.
BTW: Very impressed with OSH Park - got the PCBs here in UK (from US) 13 days after ordering!

This was the fourth board I ordered from OSHPark. For boards with ENIG finish, they are cheap. And the quality is indeed excellent. I have ordered a fifth design from them (should be ready end next week) and at the same time I sent my files to DirtyPCB. We will see what that gives quality wise. On this forum someone mentioned Shenzen2u and they are eaven cheaper then DirtyPCB. So my next design will also be ordered from those guys.
Now it's time to enjoy a local brew :-) -
@GertSanders Check out http://pcbshopper.com/, there are places slightly cheaper than DirtyPCB and places that will do runs of 5 boards instead of 10 for the same price per board. http://www.elecrow.com/ looks really good (5 boards for $15 delivered) but I haven't ordered from them yet so I can't comment on quality (other reviews of them say it's fine though).
-
I would rather pay 8.90 USD for 10 boards, then 15 USD for 5 boards delivered. http://www.shenzhen2u.com does the thing for me.

@GertSanders Did you have a shopping part list available? I've ordered your board at OSHPark and I've got the Caps in stock but not the blue thingy and the dupont blocks.
Could you put me in the right directorion where to shop those two parts? -
Nevermind the dupont blocks. I've found those!
-
@Sander-Stolk The blue thingy is a ceramic 100nF capacitor, the two others are electrolytic capacitors of 100uF and 10uF respectively.

Thanks alot!

What i select from drop down menu? Mysensors gateway USB ?
yes, follow these instructions:

Is there any pros/cons for using the nrf directly on the RPi instead of a NodeMCU?
Right now i use NodeMCU (esp) with nrf radio as gateway, but i want to reduce the nuber of units around my house so connecting directly to the RPi would be better as long as there is no negative sides to it.

For me there are no downsides. I use the raspberry as both gateway (with the NRF mounted) and as Domoticz controller. It is part of my home network and I can reach my Domoticz from the internet. So far I have 13 sensor nodes running and communicating with the raspberry.

Anyone got a spare pcb i can purchase in the UK ?
Seems a waste ordering a batch.
An SD image would be good too?? -
I distributed my two other boards to friends locally. If you make the boards at OSH Park you get three boards (for a cost of 2.20 USD - shipping included).

@GertSanders Thanks for the heads up. I'd incorrectly assumed that it was going to be something like $10 plus shipping. At $2.20 it's nothing so ordered a few just for testing. Got carried away though and ordered a few 8266 breakout boards too :-)

I"m troubled. I know this will make me sound like a total newbie, but that's ok. From someone that is new to the form, it seems like you magically made the NRF work while it is physically attached to the RPi. I'm not finding any directions on how you made it work. I did find an old link that said that the directions on there will only work with 1.5X or below. Please show me the light.
