NRF24L01 and rfm69 in one gateway

Omemanti last edited by

Hey There,

Now I got multiple sensors using a NRF24L01. I'm of to a new journey, the rfm69.

Is there a way to combine bothe radios in one gateway?
I use an esp8266(node-UMC) with NRF24L01. Haven't got a spare esp lying around..

Thnx!

@Omemanti sorry, only one transport type per gateway is supported.

Maybe you have a spare Arduino to create a serial gateway?

In either case I would recommend ordering a few esp. I use the wemos d1 mini version. Cheap and easy to use

@mfalkvidd oké, clear!
Unfortunate.
Guess a couple esp8266 couldn't hurt.

@jocke4u I run 2 RF gateways and it's not a problem. When you 'migrate' a node to a new gateway make sure to run the mysensors clear eeprom sketch first to get rid of the old routing table or you might have issues.

@nca78 about my gateways: an old gateway running on MySensors 1.5 for years now. There are several nodes and sensors connected through it like temperature sensors, relays, switches. It controls my heating system with heat pump, buffering, 18 circles of floor heating, garden irrigation, alarm system, and some lights just for fun. the new gateway is a gateway to a Bluetooth network. Since MySensors has a great serial API and I have some experience with it I preferred to use it without a radio. I also think that it will be an interesting way of development and it could help to make MySensors even more popular. I had an idea to fork the library but unfortunately I don't have the experience and time to make it in good quality. But I'm sure letting developers to build connectors to different protocols is a very good idea. Catching Bluetooth messages from the air and decode them (with some reverse engineering) to send it through the MySensors gateway is relatively simple compared to the bidirectional communications. Processing some simple sensor data is a good first step.

@OldSurferDude use a host name for the broker in the configure command (--my-controller-url-address=). Add the host name to /etc/hosts on the rpi where the gateway is. Start the MySensors gatway. When you want to switch brokers, modify /etc/hosts again and restart the MySensors gateway.

Hi @GertSanders, Do you happen to still have the Eagle project files from version 3 you created and shared on OSH Park? I'd like to add a set of pads for the mini smd version of the NRF24L01. If not, I'll just use the version 2 files from openhardware.io and try my best to recreate the changes you made between them. Kind regards, AH

Okay, finally got the original nrf24l01 SMD modules with the square chip visible... As exptected, things work just fine now, so the culprit of my issues was really the incompatible/fake "nrf24l01" SMD modules with the epoxy blob. If you want to use normal nrf24l01+ modules together with this smd gateway, DO NOT USE the smd module with the epoxy blob, as they won't work. Using only the fake SMD modules might work, too, but mixing the fake modules with real ones does not work.

Cool project @bsmtdweller New thread or stay in this doesn't matter much, but for people searching the forum (or their favorite search engine) in the future, I think a new thread with a subject containing "incubator" will be more clear. I would build it with multiple nodes. Smaller chunks of code, easier wiring, easier to isolate individual parts which helps tremendously when troubleshooting, easer to reuse code for one node in case you (or someone else) want to expand the project later, easier to remove a part if you (or someone else) don't need it. The non-mysensors code is more important, so I would start with that, but make sure all parameters that you want to be able to change are stored in variables and not hardcoded. Then add the MySensors code to update the values of the variables. The autonomy will be hard. Normally I would prefer to have all logic in the controller, since a controller has much better ways to program and debug stuff. Not fun to write - and maintain - in C with very rudamentary debugging tools. But as you say, being reliant on having Domoticz working all the time might not be good. Having the system fail gracefully will be a challenge. A start could be to search the forum for MY_TRANSPORT_WAIT_READY_MS to see what others have done. And maybe - to make the system as reliable as possible - you should add everything to a single node instead of splitting it up into multiple nodes.
