Thanks. I will do that...

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

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!

Seems this does the trick. Thanks!

Thanks. I will do that...

Correct - I flashed it some time ago - actually I detect 1 min. ago if I remove some parts of the config ...

customize:

light.WallLight1_1_1:

friendly_name: WallLight 1

light.WallLight6_6_1:

friendly_name: WallLight 2

light.WallLight3_3_1:

friendly_name: WallLight 3

light.WallLight4_4_1:

friendly_name: WallLight 4

light.WallLight5_5_1:

friendly_name: WallLight 5

group.Wall_Lights:

friendly_name: Wandleuchten

the light appear ... I think I can get it working.

WARNING (Thread-13) [homeassistant.components.mysensors] Invalid values: {3: '100'}: light platform: node 6 child 1: S_DIMMER requires value_type V_STATUS @ data[2]

That one seems wrong - but if possible I simply want to switch on / off the lights, no dimmer needed if I can avoid flashing the sensors again.

I'm trying both the raspi mqtt and the esp8266 mqtt gateway. I have flashed the dev 2.1.1 branch towards a set of arduino pro mini led light, communication seems to work - I can see the sensors publishing towards mqtt.

My config in configuration.yaml:

...
mysensors:
gateways:
- device: mqtt
persistence_file: '/home/homeassistant/.homeassistant/mysensors.json'
topic_in_prefix: 'mysensors-out'
topic_out_prefix: 'mysensors-in'
optimistic: false
persistence: true
retain: true
version: '2.0'
...

When I switch on the lights, I see messages appear on the mqtt:

If possible I would avoid to rip all apart and refash...

Hi,

I wounding how I can do static configuration in home assistant?

Seems this does the trick. Thanks!

Many thanks - yes, will do today. Let you know results.

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!

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!
