    So I connected the radio to the ESP and the Pro Mini as described.

    Installed the DHT sketch on the Pro Mini and added:

    #define MY_RADIO_RFM69
    #define MY_RFM69_FREQUENCY RF69_433MHZ
    #define MY_IS_RFM69HW
    #define MY_RFM69_NETWORKID 99
    

    The Serial output:

    TSP:MSG:SEND 255-255-255-255 s=255,c=3,t=7,pt=0,l=0,sg=0,ft=0,Starting sensor (RRNNA-, 2.0.0)

    Installed the default ESP MQTT gateway sketch on the ESP and added:

    #define MY_RADIO_RFM69
    #define MY_RFM69_FREQUENCY RF69_433MHZ
    #define MY_IS_RFM69HW
    #define MY_RF69_IRQ_PIN D1
    #define MY_RF69_IRQ_NUM MY_RF69_IRQ_PIN
    #define MY_RF69_SPI_CS D8
    #define MY_RFM69_NETWORKID 99
    

    The serial output:

    I'm seeing the initial message in mqtt but not the messages from the node: mygateway1-out/0/255/0/0/18 2.1.1

    Any idea what could be going wrong?

      #define MY_RFM69_NETWORKID 99set your preferred network id if needed

      You forgot to leave the // after the 99 and I think it can cause some problems

        @gohan thanks for the reply but that was just a typo. The sketch compiles and uploads properly. Yet I keep seeing connections to my Wifi when I upload the ping pong script for example, this doesn't seem to be normal.

          The problems seem to have been caused by a bad connection on D1.

          Still I find it strange that a Wifi login appears on the serial interface after programming the pingpong sketch.

            @mpp the esp stores (in a special area of the eeprom) ssid and key for the accesspoint it last connected to, and automatically connects back next time unless wifi is turned off in the sketch.
