@guillermo-schimmel hi, when i look under mysensors binding in openhab paperui i only see things for serial gw & ethernet gw but not for mqtt gateway. Am i supposed to build a ethernet gw or is mqtt gw allso supported? Just asking to know wich firmware to flash since hw is the same. Thanks
@jimmy-loyens You have to build an mqtt gateway. On the hardware side it is identical to the ethernet gateway.
There is another sketch for it though:
https://www.mysensors.org/build/mqtt_gateway
It is very easy.
Please let me know it if works. I really like the openhab+mqtt+mysensors combination, I think that eventually there will be a lot of us here.

@guillermo-schimmel I have been looking at the mysensors binding this evening (see my posts here: https://forum.mysensors.org/topic/7176/openhab-2-2-binding/118), but at first sight i cant get it working (i cant find a lot of clear documentation on the binding either) so i'm leaning more to the MQTT-binding approach right now. I will be exploring this route tomorrow. allready reflashed the gateway with MQTT-firmware

@jimmy-loyens do you use the mysensors-binding in openhab or the mqtt-binding (or a combination of the two)
-

@jimmy-loyens I use the openHAB-mysensors 2.3 binding.
But if you are unsure your mysensors setup works, it’s reasonable to start with mqtt binding and then migrate. Lots of moving parts.
I have posted here my own files for your reference.

@guillermo-schimmel can you tell me where you downloaded the binding? I think im using the 2.2 binding. Is it possible you forgot the link to your setup files? Greets

Please take a look here:

You will find my config and also a link to the 2.4 version of the binding.

@guillermo-schimmel ok thanks, the link was formilliar, i have come by this link at one time in the past but i couldnt find it anymore🙃. I will give it another try tomorrow with the newer binding. The configuration examples will help alot. Thanks👍

Have Mysensors in use with Home Assistant for several years, no issues. Using a Sensebender Ethernet MQTT gateway to feed HA. Just found this software. Can only get this software to connect via serial connection, not IP, and only shows data in the MYSController Debug tab. No nodes are discovered just 0 and 255. Is there something I need to do with the Gateway to allow connection for this software? Example of debug tab messages:

@tekka, thanks for the pointer. I'm using the GatewayW5100MQTTClient sketch, is this not the correct one? Works well though! Or, I do have MY_DEBUG at the beginning enabled, is then incorrect? However I can't connect MYSController via the IP port either. So if it is MY_DEBUG enabled as the problem then it impacts on both connections?

@andy5211d It seems that MYScontroller does not work when MQTT is involved. I've tested both sketches, GatewayW5100 and GatewayW5100MQTTClient, and only GatewayW5100 could connect to MYSController.
-
@Jan Spies, Thanks for your help. Was about to try different sketches over the weekend but guess I'll try some other approach now. Would really like to get MYSController or something similar to work. I can see data on the serial port (as shown below) but nothing on the ethernet port that looks useful other than what is sent and is returned from MQTT (I'm using Home Assistant). I have Lazerus so may have a play with the data on the serial port. Perhaps could feed the serial data into another Arduino and make it available on another IP address for different MySensor controller software. as not easy to get to my gateway hardware with a serail connection. Or seeing that the data is in MQTT perhaps feeding it into another app to display similar to MYSController. Wonder if the source of MYSController in in Guthub. Will have a look; no point in re-inventing the wheel... Wish I could work out what the ERROR ErrorFlag=255, etc means in my serial port output in the post below.
-
@Jan Spies But wait, just noticed that Home Assistant can take MySensors data direct from either a serial port of IP connection. Must be a new option. My implementation is from some 5 years or more ago and think then only MQTT was the way into the Controller. Guess it could have been because I started out with OpenHAB and perhaps that controller only had a MQTT option then. When i moved over to HA it just worked so did not look at anything else. Now want more sensors has have a solar power system I'd like to monitor closely and i can't easily interface to the solar power units. So more sensors and some sort of MYSController.

@andy5211d this is good news! I'm going to take a look at HA's direct access. I hope it works, I really would like the remote programming.
-
So is there a gateway where it also possible to use the serial connection for Home Assistant and the IP connection for mysensors?
-
@Jan Spies, @Joerideman. Well HA has on its MySensors integration page, https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/mysensors/, an extended example script lower down the page which shows several different methods of attaching the MySensors Gateway. Serial via USB, serial direct, IP and MQTT. Up until this week I've always used the MQTT option as my gateway was set to use MQTT and been working well for 5 or more of years. Following the conversation below I generated another development instance of HA and as I had a spare Sensebender Gateways board set up another gateway. This time using the IP direct connection, example 3, and it works, sort of.
Let me explain. I'm trying to get the MYSController to work and as best I can tell if you use the IP connection for the controller then HA can't access or read from the controller. So if the MYSController connects first then HA does not work, the other way around then the controller software does not work. I have not made the serial connection to the gateway board work with the controller software if the gateway is set for an IP connection. That is including that option in the software build. Looking at the serial link (via usb connection) on terminal software YAT there is nothing sent out. I have not tried to build the gateway software for serial connection only as I don't intend to use this mode, but may do just for connection to the MYSController software.
As best I can tell at this time the Sensebender gateway can only connect to one 'controller' at a time. Does not allow two IP connections to the same port, which of course makes sense. Same I does not send the same information out of the USB (Serial) and IP at the same time.
However still investigation (playing) as I have a mix of sensor versions on my network and that can't help.... Some are so old I can't find the initial source code to re-compile to the latest version so will try to reverse engineer what I did. Mostly one-wire temp sensors and a solar battery bank voltage/current monitor so not too complicated.
-
I think
#define MY_GATEWAY_MAX_CLIENTS 2will allow 2 controllers to connect to the gateway. But be aware that strange things may happen if two controllers are used. For example, if a node requests a node ID, and two controllers respond with different IDs.
-

@mfalkvidd Thanks so much for that. Both MYSController and the direct connection to HA connected via IP and working. I think I must have missed that option, is it listed somewhere? Thanks again.@andy5211d great that it worked.
I found it in the wifi gateway example, https://www.mysensors.org/build/esp8266_gateway
It is also listed on https://www.mysensors.org/apidocs/group__GatewaySettingGrpPub.html#gab307cf122e775d3bfc241195cd552a3f
