I am in Electrical Engineering industry for 4 years, in fact, I love to mess with electronic components, theory and applications of EE. For me, it is the queen of all Engineering branches, what you say?

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)
@OldSurferDude My old 2.0 setup is with nRF24L01 radios. This is a link to the thread on some light switches that I designed and built.

I am aware that you cannot have two MQTT gatways. When I designed my old setup I was not that familiar with MQTT so I never ended up implementing it. On the home assistant server that I have set up though, I have installed the MQTT broker on there so I should be able to comunicate with any MySensors stuff over MQTT in the future devices I make/set up. As I mentioned, I do have a Home Assistant box that I have started about 4 months ago and eventually want to migrate my Vera equipment to the HA box.
As for the YAML and Python, I'll muddle my way through. used to program in PHP and have done enough on Arduino that I'm sure it won't hurt my brain too much.
Nice work so far @wint0178, great that you try expanding on the examples. Sorry for the late reply.
If you look at https://github.com/mysensors/MySensorsArduinoExamples/blob/bba998bce09bc5139eb4ca7a05b0279f4083ff88/examples/PressureSensor/PressureSensor.ino#L90 you see where the existing child ids are defines. You just add another one for the gas sensor, with a unique number (incrementing by 1 is an easy way).
Try that and report back on your result. If something is unclear, just post a followup.
@eiten Ran into the same error but of course the community is always at hand, ready to help! Great! I'm using MySensors 2.3.2 release version. Downgrading the ESP8266 board library to 2.7.4 as suggested by @OldSurferDude did the trick.
I'm still clinging to MySensors. So simple and inexpensive to use! All sensors and other stuff connects over three MQTT GW in three locations back to my Home Assistant.
PS: Get well soon!

I'd also like to state my thanks for keeping this site and all it's resources up. I visit here weekly to help me build and continue on my projects on my own single-man company. I hope to one day be able to contribute back to MySensors instead of just making a living out of it!
