    @masmat said in 💬 Building a Raspberry Pi Gateway:

    --my-mqtt-client-id=mygateway1

    Do you have another client named mygateway1 connecting to mqtt? Try changing it to a different name just to play safe

    @gohan Can I just edit mysgw.cpp and do "daemon-reload"?
    I have just this one gw. And openHab2 but that has a different id.

      No, you need to recompile it again in case you make that change. Have you ever tried dietpi for RPI?

        @gohan OK. I did that, the same socket error remains in Mosquitto just under new id.
        Is my syntax correct or am I somehow having problems with mosquitto user-pw...?

        Haven't tried DietPi. Would Mys+Mosquitto+Openhab2 have trouble running on it? Or why should I change to it?

          have you tried connecting with another mqtt client like mqttfx to see if everything is working?

              @gieljnssns One way is to replace the changed files, in this case EthernetServer.cpp for the first patch and EthernetClient.cpp for the second patch.

              You can download from:
              https://raw.githubusercontent.com/marceloaqno/MySensors/linux-fix-stability/drivers/Linux/EthernetServer.cpp
              https://raw.githubusercontent.com/marceloaqno/MySensors/linux-fix-stability/drivers/Linux/EthernetClient.cpp

              Here is a step-by-step:

              git clone https://github.com/mysensors/MySensors.git
              cd MySensors
              curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/marceloaqno/MySensors/linux-fix-stability/drivers/Linux/EthernetServer.cpp -o drivers/Linux/EthernetServer.cpp
              curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/marceloaqno/MySensors/linux-fix-stability/drivers/Linux/EthernetClient.cpp -o drivers/Linux/EthernetClient.cpp
              

              from here just run ./configure with your options and then make

                @marceloaqno Mosquitto v1.4.14.
                The broker is working, at least sending & receiving command line (_sub & _pub) messages.

                  @gohan

                  Can you provide some installation instructions for dietpi?
                  I will try this...

                    just download the image and do the same as a Raspian image. I haven't tried mqtt gateway yet, so I don't know if it may be a gateway bug or else.

                      @marceloaqno :
                      Hi, unfortunately the latest patch did not work for me.
                      Still the gw stops receiving, but without high cpu usage :-(
                      Fortunately I can restart the gw now using a button and this udp-scripts :-)

                      Of cource I could give dietpi a try, but I would think, that a general solution would be better (for other users as well)

                      cheers,
                      Otto

                        @gohan I had another sd card and tried a ready image of DietPi with Mosquitto pre-installed.
                        I tried it without user/password and mosquitto accepting anonymous but:

                        /var/log/mosquitto/mosquitto.log:

                        ..keeps repeating...

                        ...and sudo ./bin/mysgw -d:

                          1st patch is still working good for me. have had no issues since applying it.

                          question. is it normal/correct for the gateway to ping or spam? every 10 seconds i see the gateway announce it's version.
                          its not doing the full restart or anything.. just giving the 2.2.0 every 10 seconds.

                            @masmat have you tried with ethernet gateway? If I have time I'll try the mqtt this weekend

                            @mvader I never noticed that.... is it the mqtt GW?

                                  The controller doesn't exist on the DietPi card yet but I'm not sure if that's causing the problem.

                                    --my-controller-ip-address=127.0.0.1

                                    remove that parameter as it is not needed for ethernet

                                        @masmat have you tried with ethernet gateway? If I have time I'll try the mqtt this weekend

                                        @mvader I never noticed that.... is it the mqtt GW?

                                        I'm not using mqtt.
                                        for debug purposes i use MYSController
                                        every 10 seconds on the dot. it shows me the version of the gateway.

                                          @masmat have you tried with ethernet gateway? If I have time I'll try the mqtt this weekend

                                          @mvader I never noticed that.... is it the mqtt GW?

                                          I'm not using mqtt.
                                          for debug purposes i use MYSController
                                          every 10 seconds on the dot. it shows me the version of the gateway.
