💬 Building a Raspberry Pi Gateway
-
@hawk_2050 same for you guys who helped, thank you for all the feedback.
@jerseyguy1996 I don't see anything wrong with your config.Try to add a small delay() after the first send() and before the sendBattery().
@annegerben This looks like a wire problem. I updated the guide, check the wire section again.
@marceloaqno thanks for the updated in the guide, I've now successfully connected the radio to the RPI.

Would it be possible to connect a I2C display to display some information, and drive that display from within mysGatway.cpp ?
@ericvdb I2C is the next thing I'll do as soon as I finished adding support for signing.

@marceloaqno Amazing....adding the short delay fixed it! I'm curious why that is the case. Do you have an explanation for that?

@jerseyguy1996 It's probaly related to this: https://www.mysensors.org/build/raspberry#improving-throughput-for-nrf24

Just installed MySensors on one of my Raspberry. Works really great! :) Picks up the other node I have over NRF without trouble. Next I will try and add some sensors directly on the Raspberry.
Big thanks for this! -

@marceloaqno Oh that makes sense :-) I'm wondering if that is also what is causing my problem with reconnecting when the node loses contact with the gateway. The node connects perfectly when the gateway is running but if it loses the connection for any reason it can't seem to be able to reconnect and just goes into a loop of attempts. Here is the debug info from the node:
This is the initialization output

What do you think might be happening here? -
A tiny hint for the users of domoticz :
./configure --my-gateway=serial --my-serial-is-pty --my-serial-pty=/dev/ttyUSB20
make
sudo ./examples_linux/mysGateway -d:) i hope this helps
then in the hardware setup
MySensors Gateway USB
serial port: /dev/ttyUSB20 -
I'm using the virtual serial port option and one of the things that I notice is that the port gets created where the tty group only has write access.
pi@raspberrypi:/dev/pts $ ls -l total 0 crw--w---- 1 root tty 136, 0 Oct 10 18:49 0I can change it manually but if I reboot the raspberry pi it goes back to write access only. How do I get it to be created with 'rw' access?
-
Nevermind....When I set "--my-serial-groupname=tty" in ./configure it works.

Signing is not yet supported in the current Raspi Gateway.

Ok, thanks.
I now see that in this thread. Did not see the earlier discussion in the comments on the main page. Hope to see support soon.I have disabled signing for the time being but I want it on ofc. ;)

Can you use the RP as gateway and also as controller?

@raulandresmoch
Sure. I use this with Domoticz on my Pi.
"MySensors Gateway with LAN interface" as hardware pointing to 127.0.0.1:5003
Also, I can connect with other controller software like MYSController from my other computers to my Pi-IP at port 5003. -
what's about RS485 transport on raspberry pi? especially from wired RS485 mysensors network to MQTT
@b0rmann I could add support for RS485, but I'll need your help to test because I don't have the hardware.
