I just spent a long time troubleshooting my problems trying to set this up and I thought I would share. I followed this tutorial and everything was a breeze except my unit kept rebooting and I couldn't figure out why. I thought for the longest time it was the power supply but it ended up being the version of Arduino IDE I was using. I found some answers https://forum.mysensors.org/topic/4628/solved-mysensors-2-0-ethernet-gateway-enc28j60-restart-ip-issue/46 and https://forum.mysensors.org/topic/4680/mysensors-2-0-ethernet-gateway-atmega-w5100-restart-all-time that got me down the right path. I downgraded to "Arduino IDE 1.6.11" and that worked. I completely uninstalled arduino from my system and just started over with the older version. I assembled everything as I had done before and it just fired right up. The mysensors library I used was 2.0.0 and again it all worked perfectly. I was amazed. I didnt have to comment out the debug or do anything other than follow the tutorial EXCEPT only use 1.6.11 to upload it all.
Hope this helps someone in the future.

RE: Which Arduino IDE version?
I completely agree. I am having a hell of a time getting mine to work at its to the point where I'm searching for an alternative to mysensors. This post should be in the main page regarding setup. I have wasted hours trying to figure this out.

RE: Trying to build a ethernet gateway but cant set an ip address
@mfalkvidd any luck on figuring this out. I'm have the same issue

RE: 💬 Air Humidity Sensor - Si7021
My next issue is the humidity seems to be off. It has read as high as 115% humidity. Is this normal or should I be considering a correction? If so, how would I enter a correction. Its a little odd considering it states that the accuracy is much tighter than that.

RE: 💬 Air Humidity Sensor - Si7021
Anyone know why when the temp goes below 32F it jumps all the way down to -100? I have followed this configuration to the T but cannot figure this out. Watching serial output shows the temp at -100 or so whenever the temp is below 32F. As if the conversion is off or something.

RE: 💬 Building an Ethernet Gateway
@rejoe2 I think you are suggesting that I create a link between this post and the other one. Here Hopefully this will direct people to more information regarding the rebooting issue i faced.

RE: 💬 Building an Ethernet Gateway
@rejoe2 Perhaps you are correct. I am not nearly as well versed in this stuff as others. I was working on the Ethernet project so I didn't spend much time messing with the serial end of it.

RE: Ethernet gateway shows up on vera , but doens't want to include devices
@blacey Took a while to get the part for the new power supply but I finally got it. Turns out that it was not the problem. I reattached everything both with separate power supplies and with just one 2 amp power supply and still I got the rebooting. With all of this in mind I went hunting for more answers. I FINALLY figured it out. I found another post here and here that got me down the right path. I had upgraded everthing per everyones recommenations and that seemed to be causing the issue. I downgraded to "Arduino IDE 1.6.11" and that worked. I completely uninstalled arduino from my system and just started over with the older version. I assembled everything as I had done before and it just fired right up. The mysensors library I used was 2.0.0 and again it all worked perfectly. I was amazed. I didnt have to comment out the debug or do anything other than follow the tutorial EXCEPT only use 1.6.11 to upload it all.
Thank you for all the help with everything.
