💬 Building a WiFi Gateway using ESP8266
-
I get the following errors when trying to Verify/Compile. I am trying to use the example sketch without any edits. Any ideas on what to do to fix this problem?
Under additional Board Mangers I have the following.
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mysensors/ArduinoBoards/master/package_mysensors.org_index.json,http://arduino.esp8266.com/stable/package_esp8266com_index.json
I have MySensors version 2.3.0 installed and have trying using previous versions.Errors:

Sorry, I'm not familiar with the ESP32; perhaps you have a look around for other more powerful platforms on MySensors, starting here: https://forum.mysensors.org/topic/6961/nrf5-action.
The problem within MySensors afaik is a double one:
-
First you have to make sure the GW get's the message. Eg. in FHEM, this is a problem, as one node basically is only identified by it's NodeID. As already described, internally there's a distinction between the GW part and the Sensor (node-) part. And the Sensor part gets unavoidably (at least afaik) the NodeID 0 - so for the controller all the Children are located at the same Node.
As the controller notes just one IO (aka GW) per Node, Messages to the "unified" Node 0 will always be routed to the same GW. If this is different when using MQTT as transport layer and not serial or IP communication? (could be, as more clients can subscribe to a "Node 0"-topic...) -
Second thing then is to make sure to not mess up messages intented for different GW's when doing some "broadcasting" by MQTT. Means: use different ChildID's for all the GW's sensors and actuators.
Best success!
@rejoe2
You´re absolutely right.
After 4+ hours debugging the MQTT gateway + ~10h trying to get MySensors MQTT on ethernet working properly, I tried a different way:
installed NoteRed on the RPi and an asynchronous MQTT client on the ESP32, and within ~1 hour I had a fast and stable way to send messages from and to my nodes. Adding JSON parser on the ESP, and I can perfectly communicate with dummy Domoticz devices.
Also, except of you and one very helpful guy within a private chat, noone preplied to MQTT-questions and ESP-stuff. Seems working with ESPs is reluctantly seen here on the forum.?
So I assume a different way then using MySensors for everything except (battery-powered) Arduinos is the best I can do, to also have no problems in the future.. -

Thanks for the feedback, sorry for your ineffective messin around with mysensors. I completely agree to your conclusion using MQTT directly on more powerfull boards able to communicate directly via WiFi.@inso said in 💬 Building a WiFi Gateway using ESP8266:

I can only speak for myself :grin: but indeed, I absolutely dislike having (regular) WiFi devices integrated in my home automation. My personal concept is to use as much wires as possible (thus I really love the RS485 stuff here!) and use different RF technologies whereever possible - and connect the corresponding GW's using a USB plug!
So atm I exactly have 2 ESP8266-based devices integrated: One is a bridge for my MiLight stuff (avoid that type of devices, but in case if, use the sidoh-firmware!), one is a IR-Device to play around...
But everybody has to find his own way. Just my personal thoughts on that topic :smirk:

I built a ESP8266 (Lolin V3) gw with RFM69 868mhz according to instructions.
I flashed NodeMCU with EspTool without problems. I then uploaded my sketch. It started first OK, but after I set a fixed IP with my router, it will not connect anymore (to router??).Debug:

Hi I just have build this GW. and it is working. But as you can see in the screenshots, I get really strange readings from my sensors. The serial connected GW is working good.
the first screenshot, strange temperature. no idea from where this is coming. second screen shot also strange temperature, and a battery reading.....
I know from which sensors this is coming since the serial GW is also logging them. and these values are simply wrong. any idea what I should change?
thanks

Hi there all,
I'm new here and for first think I'll like to thanks a lot for this wonderful MySensorsI just folow step-by-step the guide here: Building a WiFi Gateway using ESP8266
- use all this on a NodeMcu
- I opened the sketch from Arduino Ide from File>Examples>My Sensors> GatewayESP8266
- I edited my WiFi credentials, compiled, and write it on the NodeMcu
- I opened the serial console and watch...
This is what I see on the NodeMcu log:
2216 GWT:TIN:CONNECTING... scandone state: 0 -> 2 (b0) 3982 GWT:TIN:CONNECTING... state: 2 -> 3 (0) state: 3 -> 0 (12) reconnect 5068 GWT:TIN:CONNECTING... 6096 GWT:TIN:CONNECTING... 7124 GWT:TIN:CONNECTING... scandone state: 0 -> 2 (b0) state: 2 -> 3 (0) state: 3 -> 0 (12)This NodeMcu was always connecting on my WiFi LAN.
Someone can help me please ?Thanks in advance

I finally understand with was the problem...
My WiFi Mesh LAN accepted only 802.11.g+n radio... now that I have set 802.11.b+g+n it's ok
Strange this think cause an all other WiFi Arduino schetch the 802.11.g+n radio was always accepted.Anyway... now it's work :-)

Hi,
I have a small problem: I am using the Gateway Mysensor EPS8266 WIFi.
Everything is correctly working except the leds:in the code mysensor code , there is:
// Flash leds on rx / tx / err
// Led pins used if blinking feature is enabled abovedefine MY_DEFAULT_ERR_LED_PIN 16 // Error led pin
define MY_DEFAULT_RX_LED_PIN 16 // Receive led pin
define MY_DEFAULT_TX_LED_PIN 16 // the PCB, on board LEDI replaced by:
// Flash leds on rx / tx / err
// Uncomment to override default HW configurations
#define MY_DEFAULT_ERR_LED_PIN 1 // Error led pin
#define MY_DEFAULT_RX_LED_PIN 3 // Receive led pin
#define MY_DEFAULT_TX_LED_PIN 4 // the PCB, on board LEDand it does not work: the LEDs are always half-on.
can You tell me if these pins are used for other things and only PIN16 is available for the user ?
Thanks for your help

Hello,
I have been using MySensors for a long time. First with serial gateway now with ESP8266 gateway. For months everything worked fine except for small dropouts. Due to dropouts I wanted to switch to current development branch, since then I can not get the gateway to work.
The ESP delivers only the following output:ets Jan 8 2013,rst cause:2, boot mode:(3,6) load 0x4010f000, len 3460, room 16 tail 4 chksum 0xcc load 0x3fff20b8, len 40, room 4 tail 4 chksum 0xc9 csum 0xc9 v00051da0 ~ldI use ESP07 with RFM69 and Standard Sketch. Compiled the code with Arduino IDE as well as with VS code, always with the same result.
I disconnected RFM69 and checked the supply voltage. Have even used other calculator.
Have also tested ESP12e.
Erase Flash I have also already done.
However, when I run other code on the ESP, it runs without problems.
Erase Flash I have also already done.

Sorry for crosspost.
I found out that the error was due to too new version of espressif8266. I had version 3.1.0 installed, but MySensors seems to work only with versions < 3.0.0. Otherwise the error comes up. Unfortunately I did not find any hint about this anywhere. -
Hello! I'm trying to run ESP8266 gateway with nrf24l01 radio module, but when I run it I don't see any logs, I've enebled debugging mode, but still no logs (and it doesn't run gateway either). I've checked connection between this board end esp32 - they communicate well. Don't know what to do else.

@Serj-Sam you mention "connection between this board and esp32". What board are you referring to, and what type of connection? Wifi?
@mfalkvidd I have esp8266 NodeMCU v3. I've connected it to esp32 devkit via nrf24l01 using simple test code where I sending and reading constant string. It's just to exclude problems with nrf24l01 and esp8266.
@Yveaux I don't have any logs through serial port related to the MySensors. When I remove MySensors lib (and the code related to it) I'm able to print messages in setup() and loop() section, but with MySensors lib it stuckted somewhere without logs and do not execute code in setup() and loop() sections. -

@Yveaux said in 💬 Building a WiFi Gateway using ESP8266:
downgrade the esp arduino core
Thank you @Yveaux ! It works now! Have you heard anything about long-term solution? Looks like this will be overwritten once I update MySensors lib.
