I'm new to MySensors and Vera. I have a GoControl Z-Wave thermostat installed and working in Vera, so I know that Vera is working to that extent. I built a serial gateway using the GatewaySerialNano code and a genuine Arduino Nano board. I configured the gateway in Vera and I see "MySensors Plugin" in the "unknown category" devices. I then built a temp and humidity node using an Arduino Pro and a BME280 sensor. I don't see anything in Vera that indicates the BME280 is present. Here's the node code:
// WNG mods
// 8/08/17 - Used MySensors example plus Sparkfun BME280 example to make a sketch
// that uses BME280 sensor. Not tested yet.
//-----------------------------------------------------------------
// Sparkfun example here:
// https://github.com/sparkfun/SparkFun_BME280_Arduino_Library/blob/master/examples/I2C_ReadAllData/I2C_ReadAllData.ino
// Original MySensors sketch here:
// https://www.mysensors.org/build/humidity
/**
* The MySensors Arduino library handles the wireless radio link and protocol
* between your home built sensors/actuators and HA controller of choice.
* The sensors forms a self healing radio network with optional repeaters. Each
* repeater and gateway builds a routing tables in EEPROM which keeps track of the
* network topology allowing messages to be routed to nodes.

This looks normal to me, yes?
My question: Why don't I see the node in Vera? There must be something I haven't set up.
Thanks!
