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

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

@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.201 3/15/2018 20:47:15 RX 0 - Gateway INTERNAL C_INTERNAL NO I_VERSION 2.2.0 202 3/15/2018 20:47:25 RX 0 - Gateway INTERNAL C_INTERNAL NO I_VERSION 2.2.0 203 3/15/2018 20:47:35 RX 0 - Gateway INTERNAL C_INTERNAL NO I_VERSION 2.2.0 204 3/15/2018 20:47:45 RX 0 - Gateway INTERNAL C_INTERNAL NO I_VERSION 2.2.0 205 3/15/2018 20:47:55 RX 0 - Gateway INTERNAL C_INTERNAL NO I_VERSION 2.2.0 206 3/15/2018 20:48:05 RX 0 - Gateway INTERNAL C_INTERNAL NO I_VERSION 2.2.0@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. 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.@masmat This is my mosquitto.log

@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

The two patches to fix ethernet stability have been merger into the development branch, and also some changes to the gateway logging. I updated the build instructions to reflect the changes.

@gohan I made a sensor that sends DHT11 temp+hum. This is the output (some of it..) from mosquitto_sub to topic mysensors-out. So I appear to have a something working. OpenHab2 is not finding any items still...

It would appear that something is missing from my setup or there's a bug in the configure-line. Can someone tell if there's a bug here somewhere:sudo ./configure --my-transport=nrf24 --my-rf24-irq-pin=15 --my-signing=password --my-signing-password=ZZZZZZ --my-gateway=mqtt --my-controller-ip-address=127.0.0.1 --my-mqtt-user=XXXXXX --my-mqtt-password=YYYYYY --my-mqtt-publish-topic-prefix=mysensors-out --my-mqtt-subscribe-topic-prefix=mysensors-in --my-mqtt-client-id=mygateway1 --my-leds-err-pin=12 --my-leds-rx-pin=16 --my-leds-tx-pin=18 -

@gohan I did, I will post it (but it appears to send normally). But the only things I changed was:
- Rpi configure added: --my-signing=password --my-signing-password=ZZZZZZ
- In the nodes code: #define MY_SIGNING_SIMPLE_PASSWD = "ZZZZZZ"
-
@masmat check that the version you are using (release or beta) match your use of the simple flags, as they differ at the moment.
@anticimex Both Arduino IDE is 2.2 and Rpi is compiled with 2.2 stable.
I'm seeing !TSF:MSG:SIGN FAIL in the serial monitor so something is not compatible... I will try making password >8 characters next (currently 6).I will also add those parameters to see if that makes a difference before reuploading arduino code

@anticimex This is what's happening in the gw:
TSF:MSG:READ,36-192-15,s=69,c=0,t=81,pt=1,l=21,sg=0:221
!TSF:MSG:LEN,16!=28
TSF:MSG:READ,75-68-77,s=48,c=1,t=110,pt=1,l=25,sg=1:249
!TSF:MSG:LEN,16!=32The parser didn't really help much: more baffled than before....and I came away from the troubleshooting guide feeling really stupid :)

@anticimex I think he didn't use all the parameters for the configure, right?
