Hey all,

I want to revive an old thread here. Ive been chatting to Stephen via github and plan to extend , perhaps take over?, development of his PiHeating package on github..

Ive created my own fork (based on twistedsanity as he added some nice docker defns) and I plan to make massive changes to it.. By trade Im a Java/Javascript developer and Im using this project as an excuse to learn/play with Python

1. Please review my github issues Ive logged, Id love to know if people agree/disagree
2. Are there many MAX! Users out there? if there are then I'll invest time in making the code read-able, and pluggable with HA controllers like HomeAssistant.. If there isnt much interest then I'll trim the code down to my needs (remove vera etc)
3. Any other suggestions?? please log a Github issue and I'll look at it..

@twisted : are you twistedsanity on github?

My github repo is here https://github.com/asantaga/PiHeating

@mfalkvidd thanks, very impressive this mySensors stuff BTW

@mfalkvidd In my case I think if the log had said, No Controller provided SensorID, that would have been my first clue

Hey all,

Well after long sessions of trial and error Ive given up on the Max! +Raspberry pi based on Stephens code. Regardless of how frequently you scan the max!cube it eventually looses its memory after 4-8 weeks.. Usually when Im not at home and thats not acceptable..

Shame as my setup with HomeAssistant was "perfect":-(

NIce post.. I was looking at adding boiler control to my max eq3 system and this looks fab

i was thinking about this, perhaps as part of a welcome tutorial we connect the GW to a gateway (pick one , an easy one). And whilst doing this we simply explain why the Controller is needed.. this would help newbies like me from the start..

Which controller.. well Ive been looking at openhab but settled on Homeassistant, appears more active that OH

Hi all,

ok this is the embarrassing bit, no the controller wasnt attached.. Im using home assistant and what I didnt realise that was that a) the controller sends the IDs and b) the controller couldnt talk to the Gateway..

BTW Why do we need a controller to assign the unique sensor IDs? I thought the Gateway would do this?

@manutremo , you hit it bang on.. The NODE_ID wasnt being sent, setting a node id to a number using
#define MY_NODE_ID 42
worked.

Curious, so I can debug this myself in the future, which line indicated the NODE_ID was blank?
was it this line?
mysgw: TSF:MSG:READ,255-255-255,s=255,c=3,t=7,pt=0,l=0,sg=0:

@r-nox AWESOME! thank you!

Nice to see this OS library is well supported... cool
