    @hausinger You forgot "--" for my-rs485-baudrate=57600 in your configuration.
    It should be:

    ./configure --my-gateway=ethernet --my-port=5003 --my-transport=rs485 --my-rs485-serial-port=/dev/ttyUSB0 --my-rs485-baudrate=57600
    

    Hi @marceloaqno
    Thank you for your answers. Yes, i saw this, but I did the "--", i forgot it in the last post, because I can't use copy & paste on my raspberry (remote Desktop).

    Did this configuration work on your System?
    Are you sure, that my configuration is ok? (with the "--")
    Whats the normal behavior when i start the mysGateway with debug (mysGateway -d)? If i type the starting command in the terminal, the Gateway gives me the Messages (from my last post) and thats it (not more). I can now type a new command

    I'm now not at home (Business trip), if I get home, i will try your "Screen" command

    So I'm at home today and make some Test.
    The screen comand gives me some strange characters, thats ok I think.

    But if i start the Gateway, I only get the same messages as shown in my other post.

    Here are 2 Pics that show you, how it look like.

    I also tried to make the gw with a baudrate of 9600, but still the same issues.!0_1480068509863_mysGateway.JPG 0_1480068518084_screen.JPG

    @hausinger After the command:

    sudo ./bin/mysgw -d
    

    It wasn't supposed to go back to bash, the gateway would wait for new messages.
    I'm not sure what's going on with your setup because I tested your configuration options here and it worked.

      I created a virtual serial port using this ./configure --my-gateway=serial --my-serial-is-pty --my-serial-pty=/dev/ttyMySensorsGateway. I can see the port in the dev folder, but when I run dmesg I do not see it listed and therefore my openhab can not find it. How can I fix this?

      @jmmorgan83 You may need another name for the port, such as

      ./configure --my-gateway=serial --my-serial-is-pty --my-serial-pty=/dev/ttyUSB020

          Thank you for your answer. What can I do now? Can I check, that this port is unused? And how can I check this?
          Or is there another problem?

            FYI: I do not think the Rpi gateway works with Openhab on the same unit. I have tried both the virtual serial port and mqtt, and neither will work with Openhab 1.83.

                  Hi all,

                  So I built this and all seems to be well. But.....how do I test it properly?

                  I also installed pidome and have that able to 'see' the MSYGW, but it advises to only add it if it is working.

                  So how to know if mysgw is working OK? Is there somewhere a step-by-step way to do this?

                    @skywatch try to run it with "mysgw -d" .

                    Enabling debug mode you can see on console every message and diagnostics...

                      @gtortone

                      sudo ./bin/mysgw -d and sudo ./bin/mysgw -h now both give 'command not found' - which is odd as they were both working eariler ???
                      A reboot makes no difference. Although after reboot I see mysgw running in 'top' but even stopping that service and trying sudo mysgw -d again doesn't seem to work.

                      Any idea whats wrong? Any suggestions to get this going?

                        @skywatch

                        if you did

                        make install

                        the mysgw executable is in /usr/local/bin directory then you have to launch it with:

                        /usr/local/bin/mysgw -d

                          That doesn't appear anywhere on this tutorial, so maybe it needs adding for completion?

                          Anyway the output is now......

                          pi@PiDomePi:~ $ sudo /usr/local/bin/mysgw -d
                          mysgw: Starting gateway...
                          mysgw: Protocol version - 2.0.1-beta
                          mysgw: MCO:BGN:INIT GW,CP=RNNG--Q,VER=2.0.1-beta
                          mysgw: TSF:LRT:OK
                          mysgw: TSM:INIT
                          mysgw: TSM:INIT:TSP OK
                          mysgw: TSM:INIT:GW MODE
                          mysgw: TSM:READY

                          mysgw: MCO:BGN:INIT OK,ID=0,PAR=0,DIS=0,REG=1

                          When i did build install I missed out bit for the leds, can I just re-run the ./config and 'make' then 'make install' again? Or will that cause problems??
                          I just think that the lights will be useful in the early stages of getting this running...

                          Thanks for the help, no way would I have got that without you! :)

                            You're welcome !

                            you can (re)run configure, make, make install when you want,
                            but I suggest to stop the mysgw executable before launch "make install"

                                Can I just check that this is OK? .....

                                ./configure --my-gateway=serial --my-serial-is-pty --my-serial-pty=/dev/ttyMySensorsGateway --my-transport=nrf24 --my-rf24-irq-pin=15 --my-leds-err-pin=12 --my-leds-rx-pin=16 --my-leds-tx-pin=18

                                Can you see any problems here, it seemed to work but I hope to test fully this week, maybe tomorrow.....

                                  Hi, options for "configure" are ok, I suggest you to double check your cabling !

                                  :)

                                    What makes you think that the cabling is wrong? - I checked and can't see any problem....can you be less cryptic please? :)

                                      I meaning that often is also useful to check cable two (or three) times !
                                      but if you already did it... ok !

                                          hi
                                          yesterday i tried to build a rpi-gateway but i had trouble to access, after changeing the rights on the port to 777 and group to dialout i could access via
                                          fhem. and i didn't use the symlink, i used the port directly /dev/pts/0@115200 andthen it works perfectly!

                                          thanks...

                                          p.s.: i uses always sudo while make and the other installation commands.

                                          greets mike
