Rpi3 GW, Nano, NRF24L01+ not connecting.



  • Hi everyone,
    I am setting up my first sensor network. I have a Raspi 3 running OH2 and MQTT gateway. That part went well. I can subscribe to mqtt messages, and see the gateway come on line and connect. So far so good. I am trying to create a simple relay actuator sensor. I wired some NRF24L01+ radios to a couple of Arduino Nanos. But with each nano I see the following 0_1489768498609_arduinoRelay.JPG
    and the gateway shows
    0_1489768582461_PiGateway.JPG

    I measured the power, 3.3v to the radios. I've tried changing power sources, but it's the same. The gateway and the sensors are sitting on the same bench a foot away from each other.

    Can anyone suggest what to try next?

    I think you missed to set up node ID on the 2 Nano, but I don't see the complete log.

    Also check the log in the parser https://www.mysensors.org/build/parser



  • @leitefrog quick addition, if I add two sensors (#13 and #81), they appear to see each other. The serial monitor shows
    0_1489770087368_Arduino2.JPG


  • Mod

    Pls add the log as text with the code TAG, don't post screenshot. Also post the log from the beginning and if possible the code you are using



  • Thanks for the heads up.
    I rebooted everything to get a clean log. It acted a bit different.
    Here is the sensor log.

    Did you enable the repeater for a reason? Do you also have a log of the gateway?



  • Thanks again for the help. I went to get the gateway log as you questioned, and noticed that the MQTT was dropping and reconnecting pretty regularly, just as I would see messages coming across. I decided to try using the Ethernet Gateway, so I recompiled, and reinstalled. With that I got things to start working. I have a relay turning on and off from the OpenHab UI. Very cool. Now I'm trying to figure out how to use a two channel relay, but I'll start to search for that.

    This is a very helpful forum, and again thanks. I really like the log parser too.

    Regarding the mqtt disconnecting, there was already another user with same problem and, if I remember well, the problem was the client id that was conflicting with another device
