Got this to work. Very nice.

Would it be possible to use this ONLY to manage OTA updates for a network of MySensors nodes using the MQTT protocol? I have a ESP8266 based MQTT gateway but I'm using a different controller.

@maghac I guess it is possible by filtering topic only for firmware type

@jkandasa Will it be possible to provide a step procedure tutorial?

[mpp]

I'd love to help provide a step by step guide but I can't get it to work properly with the ESP MQTT gateway and Pro Mini RFM69 nodes. Does this controller support MY_NODE_ID AUTO?

[mfalkvidd]

@mpp from the mqtt build page: "NOTE: No controller supports dynamic ID assignment through MQTT"

[mpp]

Thanks @mfalkvidd, the table on the controller page says yes for “node ID generation" which seems to contradict this?

Setting the ID manually still results in no parent being found though.

[mfalkvidd]

@mpp It could probably be made clearer, but it is not totally contradicting. I don't use mycontroller myself but I would guess it supports node id generation for serial gateways and ethernet gateways and wifi gateways.

[jkandasa]

@mpp Yes, MyController.org supports MY_NODE_ID AUTO in any gateway (Serial, Ethernet or MQTT)

On Status >> Resources logs page can you check, Does MyController receives ID request from your node?
