    mysGateway: !TSF:MSG:LEN,0!=7
    

    looks like a power issue with the nrf24 module.

    Ok,

    I've tested with the Voltmeter and the NRF24L01 module do get a steady 3.26 V. Both the gateway module and the Arduino sensor node...

    Im now building a few extra sensor nodes, so I can test without the Raspberry pi. Hopefully I can atleast get them talking based on Arduinos first. Before testing the Raspberry Pi.

    @Christian-Simonsen multimeter will not detect issues with the power feed (noise or unstable). It just says that you voltage under zero load is 3.3V.

        Can I attach one or more DallasTemp sensors on the Raspberry Pi gateway?

        I haven't seen anyone doing anything similar so it might require some work. But almost anything is possible given enough work :)

        @mfalkvidd Alright :) The thing is that I have my Raspberry Pi as a Gateway today near my server rack and would like to measure the temperatur. Maybe I just get a Nano to do the work for me. Just would have been great to use the Raspberry.

          @Patrik-Söderström You can probably connect a temperature sensor to the gpio pins and have your controller read the sensor (without using MySensors)

              Has anyone else had an issue with getting a sensor node to reconnect after a lost connection? I can see it attempting to reconnect but even though it is back within range of the gateway it won't reestablish the connection. If I reset the node it re-establishes the connection without any problem. This is the cycle that it gets stuck in:

                @marceloaqno Yes its 220 uF. It was all I had handy. I read somewhere that this may be a problem specific to the arduino nano. I may give it a try with the pro mini. Although I'm not sure what that may have to do with it.

                Edit: I tried the same sketch on an arduino pro mini and it worked fine. When I simulated a loss of connection by walking out of range of the gateway it immediately reestablished the connection when I got back within range. The only difference is that the pro mini is running at 8 mhz whereas the nano runs at 16 mhz. Not sure how that affects things.

                  Hello everyone. Is there a way to reduce the number of Heartbeat messages the gateway produces by itself? Using MYSController to analyze the data traffic, I see every 10 seconds a Heartbeat - would like to reduce this once everything is working as expected to maybe every 5 or 10 minutes...

                    @Velo17

                    Just sleep longer. It sends one heartbeat every time the node wakes up.

                      Have you been able to resolve that problem yet? I have tried multiple radios with different capacitors and powersources grounded to the Raspberry Pi.

                      thanks

                        @dopeeye

                        Sadly not. I ended up creating an serial gateway (arduino with NRF24L01 and a USB connector) and connected this to the Raspberry Pi, rather than connecting the NRF24L01 directly to the GPIO pins. This worked perfectly straight away.

                              @dopeeye I had this issue and unfortunately changed several things at once and got rid of it. However, one thing I noticed was I had different versions of mySensors in my library directory since I downloaded the examples package. Therefore the sensor was likely compiling on a different version than the Gateway. You might want to check that.

                              If you could post more of your logs (sensor and gateway) it might help.

                                      @alesc looks like this commit in the development branch broke the code.

                                      Do

                                      git checkout master
                                      

                                      before running configure should get the code to the latest stable release.

                                      EDIT: Sorry, that won't work because the Raspberry Pi stuff didn't exist when MySensors 2.0 was released. You'll have to do git pull instead, to get tekka's fix.

                                          Hi Everyone !
                                          Big thumb up for the amount of work supplied !!!
                                          After being more or less successful with openHAB1 I had a go with openHAB2 today, via a online install....
                                          But no success with the "mysGateway" install : should i go back to serial gateway with an arduino ?
                                          Thanks a lot for your help
