    Hello, all!
    I read a lot of comments to find a solution to my problem, but seems it's something that I couldn't understand yet.

    The old version was working in my Raspberry Pi using Raspbian Wheeze, so, to install the new version i updated my system until the latest version (Raspbian Stetch). I could compile MySensors, but I'm getting the common error when testing with mysgw -d:
    "MYSGW: MCD:BGN INIT GW, CP=RNNG---,VER-2.1.1" and so on.

    I used this parameters in configure:
    ./configure --my-transport=nrf24 --my-gateway=ethernet
    --my-port=5003 --my-controlle-ip-address=192.168.1.2
    --my-gateway=mqtt --my-mqtt-publish-topic-prefix=mysensors-out
    --my-mqtt-subscribe-topic-prefix=mysensors-in
    --my-mqtt-client-id=mygateway1

    I couldn't find a solution yet. Can someone help me?

    @Djames-Suhanko MYSGW: MCD:BGN INIT GW, CP=RNNG---,VER-2.1.1 means that the gateway is starting up. It is not an error.

    "controller" is misspelled in your configure command though.

      @Djames-Suhanko I think you have to decide wether you want to make an ethernet or mqtt gateway, you can't specify both

        wow, it's was really fast! Thanks to answer. I'm use an ethernet interface. It's up but have no cable on their. I didn't install a controller yet, so, is there no problem yet, right?
        Sorry that, I'm really a newbie using MySensors.

          @Djames-Suhanko said in 💬 Building a Raspberry Pi Gateway:

          --my-controlle-ip-address

          this also is not necessary. Also for now remove all these --my-gateway=mqtt --my-mqtt-publish-topic-prefix=mysensors-out
          --my-mqtt-subscribe-topic-prefix=mysensors-in
          --my-mqtt-client-id=mygateway1
          and use it as ethernet gateway to keep it simple

              Hello folks,
              my past experience is using nrf24 library at https://github.com/Blavery/lib_nrf24, and i was able to send/receive "text" data (or "string" data) in between Raspi3 (master node) and Arduino (slave). And this is a big issue, because what i need is numerical data (float or integer), not text data, so Raspi 3 can process the numerical data (such as to do the plotting), and based on the processed data to make some decisions. My raspi 3 is controlling a moving robot. Can you advise appropriate nrf24 library for raspberry pi and Arduino, and sample codes for this kind of applicaitons? Thanks

                Welcome to the MySensors community @erobot !

                Not sure how you found us, but the library we use here is...MySensors. It certanly does what you describe. The best way to start is to read how MySensors works at https://www.mysensors.org/about and then go on to the many build examples and build your first node.

                  hi there, somehow my gateway seems to stop receiving data after a day or so from my sensors,
                  restarting the service seems to solve it for a time, how can i troubleshoot this issue ?

                    @Richard-van-der-Plas

                    Same trouble for me. I use mySensors since 2 years and I have no problem with my Arduino Gateway. But from now 2 weeks, I try to use a pi gateway. It's working well but sometime, don't no why, my nrf24 stop to receive messages. Just restarting mygw service and re-work again. I don't see nothing anormal in my log, stop randomlly after 1 or 2 days.

                    Maybe a power issue to nrf24, I will try to add capacitor just for testing if can resolve this problem.

                      Same here too. With Rpi3 gateway. Would stop for hours, maybe start agian for a hour or two and then stop.
                      Have been running debug mode for last day, no idea what happened, but been stable so perhaps something in the update/upgrade made a problem and has now been fixed.
                      Will keep an eye on here and let you know if I find anything.

                        Looks as if it happened after updating Home Assistant, but that should be 2 different things right ?

                                        @Richard-van-der-Plas just clone the 2.2 dev instead of the stable, the rest is the same
