    @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

      @gohan I configured:
      ./configure --my-transport=nrf24 --my-gateway=ethernet --my-controller-ip-address=127.0.0.1 --my-rf24-irq-pin=15 --my-leds-err-pin=12 --my-leds-rx-pin=16 --my-leds-tx-pin=18 --my-signing=password --my-signing-password=ZZZZZZ

      ./bin/mysgw -d:

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

      @masmat I did a test with the following configuration:

      • Raspberry Pi 1 with Raspbian (2017-11-29-raspbian-stretch-lite)

        pi@raspberrypi:~/MySensors $ lsb_release -a
        No LSB modules are available.
        Distributor ID: Raspbian
        Description:    Raspbian GNU/Linux 9.1 (stretch)
        Release:        9.1
        Codename:       stretch
        
      • MySensors master branch - Protocol version - 2.2.0

        ./configure --my-transport=nrf24 --my-gateway=mqtt --my-controller-ip-address=127.0.0.1 --my-mqtt-publish-topic-prefix=mysensors-out --my-mqtt-subscribe-topic-prefix=mysensors-in --my-mqtt-client-id=m ygateway1 --my-mqtt-user=rpi --my-mqtt-password=password
        
      • Mosquitto version 1.4.10 (build date Fri, 22 Dec 2017 08:19:25 +0000) [installed from apt-get]

        pi@raspberrypi:~/MySensors $ cat /etc/mosquitto/mosquitto.conf
        # Place your local configuration in /etc/mosquitto/conf.d/
        #
        # A full description of the configuration file is at
        # /usr/share/doc/mosquitto/examples/mosquitto.conf.example
        
        pid_file /var/run/mosquitto.pid

        password_file /etc/mosquitto/passwordfile
        
        include_dir /etc/mosquitto/conf.d
        

        Added the mosquitto user (user=rpi, password=password) with:

        sudo mosquitto_passwd -c /etc/mosquitto/passwordfile rpi
        

      It didn't show any error to connect to the MQTT broker:

        @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?

            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?

                              Anyone can point me in the direction where to troubleshoot this further ?
                              its not a high traffic gateway (around 10 sensors connected of which 5 updating every 15 minutes)

                                its not a high traffic gateway (around 10 sensors connected of which 5 updating every 15 minutes)

                                @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.

                                  @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.
                                      1521584708: New client connected from 127.0.0.1 as mygateway1 (c1, k15, u'masi').

                                      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.

                                        @marceloaqno OK, I will look into that once I have an extra sensor feeding my gw (the one I built is a little complex and could be buggy).

                                        Another question: I configured mysgw without "simple password" to sort out problems.
                                        Now to reconfigure mysgw I have to run the "./configure --blah --blahblah..." command and "make", but do I also have to do "make install"? And do I have to re-start & enable the service? Should I stop it first also? Anybody got a step-by-step for this?

                                          You could also make a simple node running mock mysensors sketch that can simulate a working sensor, if you need some data running through the gateway. When I recompile the gateway I usually stop the service, uninstall the mysgw service and do the make and make install. I don't really know if it is actually required but I like to keep things clean
