💬 Building a Raspberry Pi Gateway

skywatch

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...

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! :)

@skywatch

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"

skywatch

Thank you! :)

skywatch

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.....

gtortone

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

:)

skywatch

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

gtortone

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

skywatch

Ah, OK then :) - I thought there was something in the console data I posted that meant there was a problem! - Tomorrow to build a sensor and get that going.... Thanks again!

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.

Get this error from the gateway installed on Raspberry Pi2 with RFM69 Radio.

@martins RFM69 is not yet supported in RPi.

martins

@marceloaqno
OK let me explain better. I've build an arduino serial gateway and connecting it on the uart of the pi. If I do tail -f /dev/ttyAMA0 I can see the messages comming in on the serial interface. However if I run ./bin/mysgw -d I get this error:

mysgw: Starting gateway...
mysgw: Protocol version - 2.1.0-beta
mysgw: MCO:BGN:INIT GW,CP=RNNG---,VER=2.1.0-beta
mysgw: TSF:LRT:OK

mysgw: TSF:WUR:MS=0
mysgw: !TSM:INIT:TSP FAIL
mysgw: TSM:FAIL:CNT=1
mysgw: TSM:FAIL:PDT
mysgw: TSM:FAIL:RE-INIT

This is the configure I used to build it:
./configure --my-gateway=serial --my-serial-port=/dev/ttyAMA0 --my-serial-baudrate=38400

So the RFM69 Radio in not directly on the PI but on the arduino and is used as the serial gateway.

Hope this clarify it more.

Regards,
Martin

Issue solved. Domoticz read directly the serial inputs from the arduino that's connected on the PI. I was under the impression that you need a gateway (software) running on the PI to interface with Domoticz.

Thanks,
Martin

ewgor

Hi there,
I'm trying to make a gateway on my pi and since the begining i'm stuck!
Using this: git clone https://github.com/mysensors/MySensors.git
i get: fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/mysensors/MySensors.git/': Could not resolve host: github.com
I tried with sudo too! am i the only one getting this?

mfalkvidd

@ewgor "Could not resolve host" means dns is not working on your raspberry pi. Is the network working properly (can you access other web sites from the pi?) http://www.suntimebox.com/raspberry-pi-tutorial-course/week-3/day-5/ seems to have a guide if you need help configuring network settings.

Velo17

(sorry, I hit reply on mfalkvidd's post)
I have a strange problem:

I tried to be smart (haha) and updated my Raspberry2 with

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

This took quite a while and looked successful to me.

Unfortunately the MySensors Gateway and/or controller setup is not working correctly anymore. For troubleshooting I disabled my controller (MyController running on the Pi and for sniffing also MYSController available on my Windows machine). I stopped the gateway service and manually ran the gateway with -d debug information and get this:

Which looks okay to me (2 sensor nodes are sending data here). But after this NWD REQ...STR:OK block nothing more happens, only more of these 3 lines blocks repeat over and over with about 15 minutes or so inbetween.

"of course" I also re-compiled the gateway source with re-setting the configuration, which is

sudo ./configure --my-rf24-channel=124 --my-rf24-irq-pin=11  --my-debug=enable
sudo make install

any ideas what I can try to make it work again? :-(

In any case, happy weekend to everyone,
greetings from Germany!

marceloaqno

@Velo17 It might be related to the nrf24 irq pin. Could you try to build the gateway without the my-rf24-irq-pin option and check if the gateway still behaves this way?

Velo17

@marceloaqno Thanks for the hint! This actually solves the lock up. But shouldnt the interrupt offer a superior connectivity and thus be desireable? Until yesterday (before I did the RPi upgrading) this worked - or at least it appeared to work (I dont know if the interrupt was actually used)

marceloaqno

@Velo17 I had the same problem in the past but I thought it was because of my nrf24 module wasn't properly shielded or my cables was too long, causing some kind of interference to the irq pin.
I end up disabling the interrupt options until I replace my nrf24 module or rearrange the cables, which I haven't done yet.

Could you give more details on what kind of nrf module you are using and how it is connected to rpi?

Hi everyone.
I´m trying to build a new homeController with the following parts / software.

Raspberry Pi 3
Home Assistant
MySensors
Tellstick
Mosquitto MQTT Broker

I got everything working beside the MySensors. I´m trying to connect the NRF 24L01+ chip directly to the RPI with help from https://www.mysensors.org/build/raspberry.

I want to use MQTT between MySensors and HomeAssistant
The MQTT broker is working when i´m testing it.
The Mosquitto is configurated with username and Password in the config of Mosquitto.

The config i´m using when Make Mysensors is the following:
./configure --my-gateway=mqtt --my-controller-ip-address=127.0.0.1 --my-mqtt-publish-topic-prefix=mysensors-out --my-mqtt-subscribe-topic-prefix=mysensors-in --my-mqtt-client-id=mygateway1 --my-transport=nrf24 --my-rf24-irq-pin=15

I also changed in the file /examples_linux/mysgw.cpp
#define MY_MQTT_USER "My User"
#define MY_MQTT_PASSWORD "My Password"

When i´m running the command: sudo systemctl status mysgw I got following result.

● mysgw.service - MySensors Gateway daemon
