<![CDATA[Adding sensors and relays to serial gateway]]>Hello all, as a newbie in the world of arduino's i've been messing with the serial gateway for a while now and i'm kinda stuck. Whatever I try, I just can't get the sensors and relays to work on the arduino nano with the serial gateway. Can anyone help me out? I am not sure how to assign those sensors and relays to childIDs. It probably isn't all too hard.. if you know how it works 😅.

I can see both sketches are working, this is what the gateway prints out:

0;0;3;0;14;Gateway startup complete.

Is this correct?

Do you see anything in the gateway log during this time?

Next to that multiple (wireless) Nano's. The Nanos are connected with a serial gateway, atleast thats whats I am trying to achieve

As said, I've uploaded the gateway code and received this: 0;0;3;0;14;Gateway startup complete
And I uploaded the http://www.mysensors.org/build/relay sketch to the other arduino, only changed the number of relays in the sketch. This is what I got from the relay sketch:

find parent

If you completed that step, build the sensor node (with radio), load the relay sketch and verify if it connects to the gateway.

I do have one arduino nano for the gateway, which is connected to my raspberry pi with the openHAB server. And furthermore I have four arduinos that I can use as nodes to connect sensors and relays to.

At this point I have my arduino nano with the mysensors serial gateway sketch uploaded to it and I have a 4 relayboard connected to the arduino. As I said, i'm new to Arduino programming and such. So the first question is, what to do next? Upload that relay code and include the code you sent?

Child ID is assigned 0 for first sensor/accutor 1 for the next and so on... this is done automaticly if you use the relay sketch from http://www.mysensors.org/build/relay

for (int sensor=1, pin=RELAY_1; sensor<=NUMBER_OF_RELAYS;sensor++, pin++) {
    // Register all sensors to gw (they will be created as child devices)
    gw.present(sensor, S_LIGHT);```

Maybe if you post your code and version its easier to help you, or what you have done so far.
