ESP8266 Gateway - loosing messages ?

[kr0815]

After trying many versions, compiling errors,... i finally installed a portable Version of Arduino IDE 1.6.6
I installed ESP Core 2.0.0 and copied the Dev branch of MySensors.

Now it looks like the Gateway is loosing / not receiving messages from the sensors, i guess about 50 percent

DId anybodo successfully instal the ESP8266-Gateway from Developer Branch ?

I know Developer means not stable, but any hints where to look for my problem ?
THe other versions, as said, i always got compiling errors

[robosensor]

Yes, loosing messages due to slow esp8266 network code.

I wasn't even aware they already reached 2.0 for the Core!
You could give 1.6.5 a try (http://arduino.esp8266.com/versions/1.6.5-947-g39819f0/package_esp8266com_index.json) and see if things improve.
This is the version (in combination with Arduino 1.6.5) which I used to develop ESP8266 support.

@robosensor Let's not jump to conclusions!

Hello Yveaux,

thanks for your fast response.

I don´t thiink the esp is to slow, watched it on my workbench, if a sensor is sending each 30 seconds, i get every second message, very strange...

I will try to go back to 1.6.5, had 2.0.0 only because of also playing with the espeasy project.
But the developer code here should be working ?

Another strange thing now, i tried it now with an ESP8266-201, uploading is ok, but after boot i get

0;0;3;0;9;Radio init successful.
...........................................................

and the dots go on and on, what does the code expect ? finding the wifi now ?

[kr0815]

So i went back to the 1.6.5, did another portable installation of arduino IDE, downloaded everything exactly as described in the "buld"-Section

Gateway is running now, but as soon as i try to connect in FHEM, i get

Exception (28):

I investigated further - the developer version still only gets some messages, seems like radio reception is partly not working ?

The old / stable version crashes not when going to inclusion mode, but after initiating inclusion mode, then when the first node sends something.

I tried to use different power sources - didn´t change anything :-(

Tried even the MQTT Gateway - can´t get in into iclusion mode ?
(i uncommented the inclusion part, connected a switch , should there be any debug message when hitting that switch ? )

THE ESP is node a NodeMCU, but another chinese developer Board, but it runs fine with EasyESP, so i don´t think that is the cause

I have other gateways running and at the moment, all are at the same channel, but i can´t think this is the cause for a reset of the ESP ?

@kr0815 said:

Do they also use the same MySensors base ID? There shall be only one gateway for each base ID/channel combination!

Other people reported crashes on ESP8266 vanished when switching nRF24 radios. Did you give that a try?

[kr0815]

At the moment they use same Channel and base ID, as it´s, i have to confess, very complicated to change them each time in the file and to recompile everything.

But i will try tomorrow to give them different ID´s / Channels.

WHat confuses me even more, and i don´t expect to get help here, but as i use FHEM, i saw, that ID´s i deleted in the past were reasigned to new sensors, with some values from the old / deleted ones, maybe that´s already where the problems start....
I think the easiest for me would be to Switch either to the developer Version- as said it´s ot receiving all Messages, or use the MQTT Gateway, but how to get it in inclusion mode ? Do i understand it right that the MQTT ESP Gateway will handle the allowed childs by itself and broadcast the Messages of only These childs to the MQTT Broker ?
