    @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?

    @masmat What is the mqtt broker / version you are using?

      Can someone tell me how to apply this patch?

      @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?

                        I think OH should support it, but I was just asking to make a test.

                            @masmat said in 💬 Building a Raspberry Pi Gateway:

                            --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?

                                for debug purposes i use MYSController
                                every 10 seconds on the dot. it shows me the version of the gateway.

                                    Yesterday I cloned the latest version on a recent raspbian (9.3) and I applied the first patch of @marceloaqno .
                                    We will see. So long there were no problems. I will send an update in a few days...
                                    As a last help I could switch to mqtt and do a restart after a defined amount of time (if no events are received)....

                                    Cheers,
                                    Otto

                                      @marceloaqno I got my gw rfm69 gateway suddenly stopped communicating with nodes. I tried everything to reinstall it but without luck. I was able to have it running on my test rpi with a complete OS reinstall. Is there anything else I need need to clean up from my install to reset every settings? (besides the mysensors folder and mysensors.dat file I already deleted)

                                        How can I monitor the traffic data between the raspberry and RF module (NRF24L01) on a Ethernet gateway ??

                                        My gateway is built for Ethernet. I start the gateway with "service mysgw start"
                                        Now, I would like to get the same data output than output debug (./bin/mysgw -d) but without stop mysgw service.
                                        I need to use MYSController as Ethernet client at the same time.

                                        Thanks

                                          Now, I would like to get the same data output than output debug (./bin/mysgw -d) but without stop mysgw service.
                                          I need to use MYSController as Ethernet client at the same time.

                                          Thanks
