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

      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.

                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

                        @marceloaqno What does your mosquitto.log show?
                        I did a fresh install of DietPi (stretch), Mosquitto and MySensors --branch master. I left out everything and pretty much did the configure command as you did. I get the same result, but mosuiqtto log shows:

                        1521584708: New connection from 127.0.0.1 on port 1883.
                        1521584708: New client connected from 127.0.0.1 as mygateway1 (c1, k15, u'masi').
                        1521584733: Socket error on client mygateway1, disconnecting.
                        1521584778: New connection from 127.0.0.1 on port 1883.
                        

                        So is this normal?
                        I have one sensors built that's not connecting (its log shows it just trying and trying..). I would like to user simple password and the LEDs, I will build one extra sensors just to help testing.

                            @mfalkvidd Thanks fer info, now I can see the serial protocol as well in the syslog. Next step should be to have a logfile dedicated to mysgw.

                                @MasMat : I just forgot, that I reconfigured rsyslogd to log mysgw to a different file. syslog is correct.

                                I do not use mqtt for mysensors yet, but the syslog seems good?

                                  Was pointed here from another post, having serious issues with high CPU utilization op the gateway, is there any workaround and the moment?

                                    Was pointed here from another post, having serious issues with high CPU utilization op the gateway, is there any workaround and the moment?

                                    @richard-van-der-plas the best workaround so far is in the post I linked to.

                                      @gohan said in 💬 Building a Raspberry Pi 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.

                                      @marceloaqno any ideas about that?

                                      @mvader The gateway will respond with an I_VERSION every time a controller connected to port 5003 sends an I_VERSION request.

                                        @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)

                                        @gohan Sorry to hear that, mysgw doesn't change any system files, a simple reboot and rebuild of the gateway should be enough to resume communication in a case of more serious error.

                                          @marceloaqno What does your mosquitto.log show?
                                          I did a fresh install of DietPi (stretch), Mosquitto and MySensors --branch master. I left out everything and pretty much did the configure command as you did. I get the same result, but mosuiqtto log shows:

                                          1521584708: New connection from 127.0.0.1 on port 1883.

                                          So is this normal?
                                          I have one sensors built that's not connecting (its log shows it just trying and trying..). I would like to user simple password and the LEDs, I will build one extra sensors just to help testing.
