Nodes not showing up

[royson84]

Hi guys!
I recently switched from Domoticz to HA and I'm having some problems to get my Mysensors stuff working.
I can see that HA communicates with the ethernet gateway, and that my repeater gets "pinged". It also get some information from a Temp/Hum sensor. But none of this seems to get added to the UI. I can't find them in "states" either.

What am I doing wrong? Do I need to collect all my nodes and add something in the sketches? That would be a pain

Maybe you can check if HA have similar as Domoticz, that the gateway needs to accept new hardware, before any sensors are being created

There is the "discovery" option in configuration but I thinks that's more for gateways and bigger devices, not individual nodes. Not sure so I'll give it a try and activate it.
Other than adding the gw to my configuration, I haven't changed anything in my sketches, since that would be more work than I have time for at the moment.

Ok a bit of an update. I removed my "version" part from config...yaml. I then removed the mysensors.pickle file, restarted HA and then restarted my nodes. And voila, the started showing up. So either there was something wrong with the pickle-file or the version data didn't work.

But I can see now that the gw sends it's version to HA all the time, like a heartbeat. I'm not sure if this is correct or not.

Now I just need to figure out how to change the names of the sensors in HA to get them more like all my other devices.
