    Activated allowing new hardware.
    Mysensor serial gateway 2.0 finds an unknown node version 1.0 with one child. Child is named s_arduino_repeater_node 2.0.
    The log shows this: : MySensors: Update command received for unknown node_id: -1, child_id: 255

    Could someone help?

    Just uploaded an unmodified sketch from mysensors to a combination of motion sensor, NRF24L01 and arduino nano.

      I know this one works on my nano:

        hi,
        i haven't find anywhere yet, but is it possible to use mysensors mqtt gateway with domoticz?

          At the moment I have running a Raspberry Pi 3 with domoticz and a VeraEdge UI7.

          After a long time my ethernet gateway (arduino nano) seems to be running... To verify the connection between the gateway and a node I wanted to build a air quality sensor using a MQ-135 sensor.

          I noticed that Vera needs special .xml and .json-files for this. Otherwise Vera does not recognize the sensor/node.

          It took several weeks to walk around many errors (mysensor was not compiling using IDE > 1.6.9, 1.6.8 works, in 1.6.10 you have to delete avr-gcc to get this working).

          I would like to ask:
          Does domoticz need special files/settings for each sensor ?
          Does Vera really need special files for recognizing mysensors sensors ?

            Vera (by default) does not support all the sensor types available in MySensors. But i has the standard stuff, like switch, temp, humidiy etc.

            If you want to use a none-standard device, like the distance sensor, you have to install a couple of device files (provided in the Vera github repo) which describes how it should presented GUI wise.

              Ok, thanks.

              And, how does domoticz handle this? Does it need special files, too?

                No, I don't think so.

                  I really do not know which one to choose: VeraEdge or Domoticz...
                  But, I am running several Homematic (eq-3) devices. It would be so great to access this devices via the controller. None of them supports Homematic.

                  Homee supports homematic, but homee does not support mysensors.

                    Haven't heard of homee before. Is it popular in germany?

                      It is very popular. Was on kickstarter I think.
                      Homematic is very famous/big in germany. A controller, which can handle homematic and mysensors would be the best solution.
