    I will try out the version for the ESP8266 (GatewayESP8266MQTTClient.ino), however this seems really strange to me. Any hint?

      Could you be a bit more specific? What seems strange? The esp8266 gateway sketch? In what way does the sketch seem strange?

        The gateway basically stops with a segmentation fault after working ok for a few minutes... let me try it...give me a minute...

          Hi,

          running a raspi 3 with raspbian

          pi@pi:~ $ uname -a
          Linux pi 4.9.35-v7+ #1014 SMP Fri Jun 30 14:47:43 BST 2017 armv7l GNU/Linux

          Have updated the system to latest status but I still have lots of stability issues with the gateway.

          I build it with

          ...

          git clone https://github.com/mysensors/MySensors.git --branch development
          cd MySensors/
          ./configure --my-gateway=mqtt --my-controller-ip-address=127.0.0.1 --my-mqtt-publish-topic-prefix=mysensors-out --my-mqtt-subscribe-topic-prefix=mysensors-in --my-mqtt-client-id=mygateway1 --my-rf24-ce-pin=22 --my-rf24-cs-pin=24
          make
          cd MySensors/bin/
          sudo ./mysgw -d

          ...

          It works but very very unstable - if new sensor come online the gateway goes down with a segmentation fault.

          Its basically not usable. As mysensors have such a great reputation plus I already placed lots of sensors in my place - how I can get a mqtt gateway stable? What version? maybe some configure switches I forgot.

          I tried different pi's, different NRF24L01 modules, they have an extra capacitor etc.

          I really get frustrated and I can not believe its that unstable, so there must be something I must do wrong.

          Who has run it on a pi with out issues?

          Many thanks!
          Regards
          Joerg

          @alterfritz the troubleshooting instructions in https://forum.mysensors.org/post/82711 could give valuable input regarding the raspberry pi gateway.

            @alterfritz that's not what I was asking about. See the text I quoted.

                      @alterfritz thanks. Now we know where in the code the crash occurs. Hopefully @marceloaqno can figure out what's wrong. I'll take a look as well, but I am not familiar with that code so I am not sure I will understand it.

                        Thanks a lot. Looking forward to any update... have a nice weekend, I will try the version for ESP8266 in the meantime, however run it on the pi would be preferred.

                        Thanks again!

                          Just to let you know - I have uploaded the ESP8266 sketch (from 2.1.1) via Arduino IDE, seems to run stable with the same NRF24L01 module.

                          But if possible I would like to go back to have all run on the raspi.

                          Again thanks for all that support here!

                            @alterfritz I've prepared a PR that should fix the segmentation fault: https://github.com/tekka007/MySensors/tree/nullptr - can you test this PR?
