RFM69HCW Feather M0 MQTT

[Andrew Maynard]

oh I didnt mean it as not enough documentation in total. you guys put some serious hard work in this project and I really do appreciate it. I would think you guys are paid! I just meant in terms of raspberry pi as a gateway with rfm69hcw. Am I wrong? btw this is one of the liveliest communities I've experienced! once again thank you and I do appreciate it!

[Andrew Maynard]

I'm on the beginner side so it seems a little easier to change a few things in the esp8266gateway sketch and go.

@andrew-maynard I'd say that if you have Linux experience, the Raspberry Pi gateway is probably easier to configure and troubleshoot (since it will be a familiar environment). But if you're not already familiar with Linux, learning Linix+MySensors at the same time will be harder than using the esp8266 gateway.

[Andrew Maynard]

This is the debug from the gateway.
If for some reason the transceiver isn't working it should say in debug, correct?

the debug can tell you if spi is working ok.
when you get FPAR NO REPLY it could be because of bad rfm69 interrupt. but your define looks ok..
could you try to add in your sketch define this one:

#define MY_RFM69_RST_PIN 4

As your rfm69 reset signal is routed to D4..

Could the problems be related to https://github.com/mysensors/MySensors/issues/1155 ?

[Andrew Maynard]

@scalz YES!!! I think that was the problem on the Feather m0 side. still not receiving messages though. i did test it out with

pi@raspberrypi3:~ $ mosquitto_pub -t 'domoticz/in/MyMQTT' -m '0,29'

I see it in the domoticz log.

I figure it cant hurt to show my ./configure.

pi@raspberrypi3:~ $ ./configure --my-gateway=mqtt --my-controller-ip-address=192.168.1.110 --my-mqtt-publish-topic-prefix=domoticz/out/MyMQTT --my-mqtt-subscribe-topic-prefix=domoticz/in/MyMQTT --my-mqtt-client-id=pi  --my-transport=rfm69 --my-rfm69-frequency=433 --my-is-rfm69hw^C

Am I missing something? Is there a something specific I should enter below for my client id?

--my-mqtt-client-id=pi 

Thanks again for responding. I appreciate it!

[Andrew Maynard]

@mfalkvidd I will try it on an esp8266 tomorrow and see if anything changes. When going back versions is there anything else i need to do besides deleting directory and going through ./configure again? I will try the 2.2 version first. I already went from 2.3.1 to 2.3.0.

[mfalkvidd]

@andrew-maynard deleting and starting over is fine. If you're comfortable with git you can switch branch/tag instead of deleting.

[Andrew Maynard]

@mfalkvidd I switched gateway to esp8266

When i try to test it using

pi@raspberrypi3:~ $ mosquitto_sub -v -t 'domoticz/out/MyMQTT'

nothing happens and freezes cmd prompt. it does publish though

pi@raspberrypi3:~ $ mosquitto_pub -t 'domoticz/in/MyMQTT' -m '0,29'

I have to be missing something stupid!

[Andrew Maynard]

Would it be wise to close this and move it to Domoticz MySensors forum? It looks like its an issue with mqtt or domoticz.
