I think I found the problem. I think it misbehaved because of an illegal character in the "HOSTNAME". Changed the hostname yesterday and It was still alive this morning even if I have not pinged it.
@gohan said in Arduino Pro Mini Shield for RFM69(H)W:
If I remeber right that pin is used as input so the RFM69 is not receiving any 5v signal. In addition there are people claming they have the RFM69 module working on 5v on data pins and 3.3v on vcc, but I hardly suggest to do it.
thank you just what i thought .
about direct 5v on data...well... i seen a big red sign saying n :DONT do it! lol
Level converters are so cheap...that i ordered 5 or 10 thoguether with rfm69 board.
sorry about hijack this topic, i though i was on general discussion
Do you have interest to try OH2 together with MySensors Ethernet Gateway to get working?
I do not have enough force to push developers to make this happen. At the moment there is some problem on this, because full control is not possible. I think that MySensors Serial Gateway is working with OH2, but I don't like to use it. I like to connect my devices into LAN not cabling via old fashioned way using serial wires.
@Chester good point, but I was restarting the arduino and still couldn't get this to work correctly. Also, the missing "end" was just missed out of the paste here, it was in my code.
@nono8223 I think it will be a good idea as long as there are people actively developing & supporting the platform now and in the future.
Recently the Raspberry Pi port (or Linux, in general) has been updated and included in the core library, so MySensors is no longer Arduino-only.
@epierre You can use a Peltier element to power this board. Like this one:

Thanks for your fast reply.
That sounds easy.
And you think that the communication between sensor nodes and Gateway are still possible via wired RS485?
I tried to find an example on this site for sending Information from Gateway to sensor nodes. (via SendMessage ?)
For example I like to Switch on/off an light that is connected to an relay board at my sensor node.
Communcation Flow:
OpenHab2 --> MQTT --> Gateway --> RS485 --> Sensor Node --> Relay Board
Currently I have an working RS485 Connection between my Arduino Uno's with the use from SoftwareSerial library.
During my testings I realized, that the message that I triy to send "Hello" will be sent to the other arduino char by char. Is that true?
Because I tried to raise up an pin on HIGH with "if(msg == "Hello")..." But it doesn't worked.
Will the sendMsg method from the MySensor library handle this out of the box?
