Help needed in getting Gateway and nodes working with Openhab on a Raspberry pi

[gohan]

Can you try another Linux image? I'm very happy with DIETPI. What options did you set in the ./configure? What raspberry version are you using?

This is a different image I recently renewed my entire openhab setup on a fresh image to try and get rid of all the problems I've had with openhab. This has worked for openhab and I'm happy with the setup finally. Its Rasbian Jessie, kernal: 4.9.13-v7+ .
For serial I did

./configure --my-transport=nrf24 --my-gateway=serial --my-serial-is-pty --my-serial-pty=/dev/ttyAMA020

For Ethernet I did

./configure --my-transport=nrf24 --my-gateway=ethernet --my-controller-ip-address=127.0.0.1  --my-port=5003

What raspberry version are you using?
--my-controller-ip-address=127.0.0.1 is not necessary
are you using latest mysensors library from development branch?

[GreyLinux]

Oh sorry.... its a raspberry pi 3.
Yeah I git cloned the development version from the link in the guide not the master.

[gohan]

it is quite odd that it crashes... I'd still suggest to try another image to do a comparison (i hope you have a spare microsd for the job)

[GreyLinux]

I have a few so this is definitely something I can look at to compare and see if it changes the outcome.

Good news I deleted everything from the Mysensors gitclone including the file in /usr/local/bin/.

re-cloned the developement branch and ./configure for Ethernet without IP
address and after configuring the Ethernet gateway in paper UI its now showing as online
Thanks for your help @gohan

also I like the look of myscontroller but its only for windows I only have a linux machine.

there is an android app that does similar job, search play store for "mysgw".

[GreyLinux]

@gohan brilliant ! Ive downloaded the app. Out of interest it asks for an IP address to set up.
When setting up the Ethernet gateway on the paper-UI I set the IP as local host 127.0.0.1 to make it work.

Do I just put the IP for the raspberry pi on the LAN, for the android app ?

[gohan]

yes, it requires the ip of the device running the ethernet gateway
