I have got everything working without the relays hooked up. as soon as I hook up the relays to the shift register all of them activate and dim the power to the controller I have to unplug everything to get it working again, Everything is setup per the instructions

Hi OSD, thanks for your input. Those are the 4 relays on IO-MCU. I buzzed out the circuit and found that I had an open circuit on the 12v line to the relays. Furthermore 2 of the relays indicator LEDs were illuminating, 2 were not. I suspect, when I first juiced up the circuit on this MCU, the 2 relays fired, but I'd made the trace too thin for the required current. I wired up some jumper wire on the reverse of the PCB and the 2 relays started working. The 2 that remain inoperable? https://forum.arduino.cc/t/using-pins-a6-a7-on-pro-mini-compatible/118050 A6 and A7 can only be analogue inputs, cannot be digitally written to..... - so this part of my PCB is now redundant. However, all in all, some good fault finding, found the two issues, and I'm now going away to re-think my PCB trace widths and reading the datasheets more accurately Thanks

Hm, maybe the problem is that your rPI has a short interruption in the WIFI connection, the MQTT TCP connection is interrupted and does not autostart again. Maybe there is something in the logs. Maybe you can find something about reconnects in one of these: journalctl --unit=systemd-networkd journalctl --unit=wpa_supplicant You could try to run wpa_cli in daemon mode to react to disconnects and connects. Create a script like this: #!/bin/bash case "$2" in CONNECTED) <your command to start the gateway>; ;; DISCONNECTED) <your command to stop the gateway>; ;; esac then, start wpa_cli in deamon mode: wpa_cli -a /path/to/your/script #use sudo if your gateway commands need sudo If that helps, you could create a service from this command. Regards, Edi

@Mizar03 sorry for the late response. getStream() only works for firmware transfers. I'd suggest getString(), this should also work for all types of payloads, as they are normaly ASCII and not binary data.
