Hi, I had problem using the main branch mysensors/Raspberry, that because of the bit-field struct (header_s) in Sensor.h They will get packed in different order on the arduino compared to the RPi (at least with my compiler, gcc). In order to fix this I created the 1.4dev branch. It uses full bytes instead of the bit-fields, but you need (of cause) to compile both the sensors (arduino) and the gateway (RPi) using the 1.4dev branch.
We need to fix this in the main branch later on (and use the same files as in mysensors/Arduino/libraries/MySensors)
Old topic, I know. Did anything ever come of this?
I'm also thinking it would be easy & cheap to get the espnow working as a transport layer.
I found this: https://www.mysensors.org/apidocs-beta/classESPNOW.html
But it goes above my head and abilities when it comes to code.
@CodeGarage What I want is a lion powered Sensor if possible. And that in a case I can stick to the door frame. As I cannot screw or drill into the doorframe. But I have no idea how much current that draws.
I hope the project won't be buried due to the fact that the protocol is the basis of nippy devices (https://nippysmart.com/) I also hope that the development of mysensors won't be directed in 2 directions - one commercial only for nippy - the other for all the rest, which could result in the two versions diverging so much that they will be incompatible and the second one will simply be buried.
Well, my network with two handfulls of nodes in three different locations is still live and kicking! I agree that there does not seem to be a lot happening in the community. I'm running 2.4.0- alpha since this gives support for MQTT over TLS. Just managed today to create one more MQTT GW after reading a lot about support for ESP8266. You know, these things you do once per year and have to learn new each time.
MySensors is the cheapest way I have found to create small sensor nodes etc. But now slowly running out of my supply of hardware. Well, time will tell...
