@bram81 Thank you so much ... I was nearly getting mad - without your "edit and the include esp8266wifi hint" I'd still be pulling out my beard in frustration !

@boots33 said in How to tell if mysensors library starts up successfully?:

#define MY_TRANSPORT_WAIT_READY_MS 3000

Hi,

Hi,

I made quite a number of MySensor devices. Easy reliable and cheap. I use the NRF24 chips.

However: sometimes my raspi sensor gateway crashes and then I am in trouble: my sensors do not start up when they do not find a gateway.

I know what you think; whats a point of a MySensor device starting up, when the gateway is not present - the point is that I have some critical devices which would work perfectly well without the gateway and an aerial connection (I would just lack remote control and status update) e.g. light switches, RGB lights, fan control, etc.

I am working at another city during the week .. guess what
Any ideas ?

thanks,
Lars my wife tells me when my devices do stop working during my absence ... not funny

So I am looking for a way to bypass sensor initialization in case the gateway is not found. Then at least my devices would work offline using buttons.
