    Any thoughts on making a version for the 2.0 dev branch?

    I recently switched my in-progress builds to 2.0 and am in the process of "trying" to get my Raspberry Pi2 setup with OpenHab and Mosquito. And the idea of not having to have an ethernet gateway arduino in the mix is appealing to me.

    I would do it myself but I probably only have 3.275% of the required knowledge at this point

      I'm unfortunately at about the same level as you. I can compile stuff and do basic troubleshooting, but merging the dev branch with the gateway code is way out of my league.

        There is no way you are at 3.275% knowledge like me... I've seen many of your posts on here and you are at least a 4.532%... lol.... no honestly I've liked your posts and you seem very knowledgeable. You've got to be at least a 84.5% ;)

          Can somebody tell me how to change the channel after compiling and using the Gateway for a couple of days?
          Changing the channel in MyConfig.h in the dir Raspberry doesnt bother even after a reboot.
          Still 0x4c channel / 76 when I run the PiSerialGateway program.

            Did you recompile the code after changing the channel?

              @alexsh1 I did this after changeing the channel in MyConfig.h: make all && sudo make install
              Rebooted after that but no luck

                That should be sufficient but you could see if running make clean before make all helps.

                    @mfalkvidd I did the make clean and the make install and rebooted.
                    Still 0x4c eq. 76

                    @Sander-Stolk I don't see a new make install in your output. Did you miss that or is the output just not included?

                    make all compiles the code. The result is a binary file in the Raspberry folder
                    make install copies the binary (and some scripts I think) from the Raspberry folder to the system folders.

                      Ok here's the deal to change the channel or other settings:

                      cd Raspberry
                      make clean
                      make all
                      sudo make install
                      Done!

                        Does anyone know what this error is about?
                        RPi2, NRF24l01, OSMC (Debian jessie), Domoticz v3.5051.

                        osmc@osmc:~/Raspberry$ sudo make install

                        Installing initscripts to /etc/init.d
                        Installing syslog config to /etc/rsyslog.d
                        Failed to restart rsyslog.service: Unit rsyslog.service failed to load: No such file or directory.
                        Makefile:79: recipe for target 'install-initscripts' failed
                        make: *** [install-initscripts] Error 6
                        

                        I can run the gateway even with the error, i can also add it to Domoticz and send/receive data.
                        But after a few minutes i get a massive error in domoticz saying "(24) Too many files open" on every logentry and my domoticz loose connection to the Logitech mediaserver, remote Kodi hardware, mqtt server etc.

                          Hi, is signing supported using this library? thanks.

                            @cingolanifede the Raspberry Pi gateway does not support signing.

                              I'm looking for some help in getting "PiGatewaySerial" running properly. I am having no issue running "PiGateway" and receiving all data from a counter node I'm using for testing. When I try to run "PiGatewaySerial", only intermittent data appears. For this example, I have my counter sending increasing integers at 1 second intervals, and receives fewer than 1 in 25 through the "PiGatewaySerial" script. I previously had this working reliably on a RPi2, reading in the tty output and logging it to a file. Now, I cannot repeat that on either that device, nor the current RPi B+ I'm working with. I'm sure there's some basic setting that I'm missing, but I can't seem to figure it out. Thanks!

                                I have been thinking about giving this a try But:-
                                The Raspberry port is using protocol version 1.4.
                                Do the sensors also have to use version 1.4?

                                  No, the sensors can be running 1.5 or 2.0-beta, the PI will run a 1.4 version.
                                  The only thing not supported by the PiGateway is message signing.
                                  But I have a mix of sensors in 1.5, 1.6-beta and 2.0-beta in my home network, so it certainly works.

                                    Is it best to start with a blank jessie image and manually install/compile domoticz or just use the domoticz sd image?
                                    The latter would be the easiest for me because i am useless with the CLI but if the first method is best??

                                      Adding support for signing on a pi gw should just be a matter of implementing random number generation and use software signing. With slight modification in the software signing backend as it assumes Arduino api:s for obtaining a seed for the rng.

                                      Do you feel secure today? No? Start requiring some signatures and feel better tomorrow ;)

                                        Is it best to start with a blank jessie image and manually install/compile domoticz or just use the domoticz sd image?
                                        The latter would be the easiest for me because i am useless with the CLI but if the first method is best??

                                        @rmtucker if you want to be able to run the very latest version of Domoticz, use the Debian image and compile Domoticz from git.

                                        I use the Domoticz image. The downside is that I need to wait for new "official" Domoticz builds before upgrading, but the upside is that getting up and running was very easy.

                                          Actually ... I started with an official Domoticz build, and then I indicated in the settings that I wanted to update with the beta version. Since then I'm always on the latest beta (v5143 at the moment).
