ESP-8266 gateway with sensor can't communicate with controller

[Senne Vande Sompele]

hi everybody,

I've read a lot of topics but can't seem to find out what i'm doing wrong.
I've a wemos D1 mini with a switch connected to it and i want to send the state of this switch to Home Assistant
The following code is running on my d1:

#include <EEPROM.h>
#include <SPI.h>
#include <Bounce2.h>


// Enable debug prints to serial monitor
#define MY_DEBUG 

// Use a bit lower baudrate for serial prints on ESP8266 than default in MyConfig.h
#define MY_BAUD_RATE 9600

#define MY_GATEWAY_ESP8266

#define MY_ESP8266_SSID "xxxxxxx"
#define MY_ESP8266_PASSWORD "xxxxxxx"

// If using static ip you need to define Gateway and Subnet address as well
#define MY_IP_ADDRESS 192,168,0,9
#define MY_IP_GATEWAY_ADDRESS 192,168,0,1
#define MY_IP_SUBNET_ADDRESS 255,255,255,0

// The port to keep open on node server mode 
#define MY_PORT 5003      

// How many clients should be able to connect to this gateway (default 1)
#define MY_GATEWAY_MAX_CLIENTS 2


#define CHILD_ID 1
#define BUTTON_PIN  0  // Arduino Digital I/O pin for button/reed switch


#include <ESP8266WiFi.h>
#include <MySensors.h>

Bounce debouncer = Bounce(); 
int oldValue=-1;
bool initialValueSent = false;

MyMessage msg(CHILD_ID,V_STATUS);

void setup() { 
  pinMode(BUTTON_PIN,INPUT_PULLUP);
  // Activate internal pull-up
  //digitalWrite(BUTTON_PIN,HIGH);
  // After setting up the button, setup debouncer
  debouncer.attach(BUTTON_PIN);
  debouncer.interval(5);
}

void presentation() {
  // Present locally attached sensors here    
  Serial.println("Presentation:");
  
  // Send the sketch version information to the gateway and Controller
  sendSketchInfo("Switch", "1.1");
  present(CHILD_ID, S_BINARY); 
}


void loop() {
  debouncer.update();
  // Get the update value
   int value = debouncer.read();
  if (value != oldValue) {
     // Send in the new value
     Serial.println(value);
     send(msg.set(value==HIGH ? 1 : 0));
     oldValue = value;
  }
  // Send locally attached sensors data here
}

void receive(const MyMessage &message) {
  if (message.isAck()) {
     Serial.println("This is an ack from gateway");
  }
  Serial.println("something was received: "+ message.type);
}

and got follwing output

and in home assistant i get following in the debug:

can someone help me getting this working

@Senne-Vande-Sompele try upgrading to MySensors 2.1 (which was relesed yesterday). 2.0 has a problem that causes the receive function to not be called on nodes that are gateways.

@Senne-Vande-Sompele

Mysensors 2.0 has a bug that leads to gateways without radio to not present themselves, which is why node 0 (gateway) is unknown in your log. This is fixed in mysensors 2.1.

I've upgraded and everything works now thank you very much

Great work @Senne-Vande-Sompele, thanks for reporting back!
