Hi, I followed the steps, gateway started but not able to use the existing mysensors sketch. I tried with relay and motion sensor but I get nothing in the serial monitor of MQTT client gateway.
Am I missing something here ?
I am just starting with IOT, after going through the wiki of openHAB found this site.
For beginners I have connected two arduino with raspberry pi using NRF2401L modules. Still reading on setting up openHAB on PI.
After going through this site I have a confusion. I understood openHAB is a controller. So, a raspberry pi with openHAB installed will mean that it is a "GATEWAY" ?.
I am trying to create a tree with PI on top and arduino as child and grandchild each of which will do some function. In my case where does the gateway comes in picture. Do I need one more arduino connected to PI through nrf2401L or a different type of connection which will act as my "gateway".
Some one with knowledge help me out to understand the use of gateway, why it is needed and how to start with simple one raspberry pi and two arduinos to begin with.
@hexenmeister on top of explaining where can I get the nrf radio library file for eagle ?
I am building my own controller running on raspi with mysql as database so planning to integrate charts and graphs can give user a interactive view of the sensor data.
Thanks a lot for all the Information
I had this concerned from beginning. I will sound like a noon, but I am working on building a custom controller with loads of user configurable interface. For sake of my understanding is there any diagram or video or any resource regarding how to interface the ATSHA204A with arduino @Anticimex .
If there is something like that it will be of a great help. I am going to post a video soon of my work in progress app which controls the devices. I am also working on a scenario where someone can use the normal switches(existing ones) to operate the device and app will update accordingly. Still making way through the ACK part and the hops as I am using Ruby to do all the work
I am also trying something similar and I get fail in the serial monitor for all the relays I have connected. But after that everything works fine.
I don't want to take out the panels which are holding the switches, max I can do is replace the switch with a Two Way switch, I planned on using ACS712 to sense the current and process the data accordingly in arduino to send a message to my controller but adding a current sensor to each and every switch seems to be a cumbersome process, Is there anything better then the way I am thinking.
Note: Removing the current switches completely is out of question at least for me case

@mainali I've changed my two way switch to one way. So i can control my light with phisical button, and also by app.
Can you explain further what do you mean actually.
I am trying to control the switches in my house I am building my own controller to have all the flexibility that I desire. I am able to control the devices attached to the switches.
The problem is I want the control to be parallel, from app as well as the normal switch which are already present. I have replaced the switch with Two Way switch to achieve this, but I am not able to figure out the state of the physical switch. Is there a way I can know if someone activated a device from physical switch so that I can update the status of that device in my app. Someone can either switch ON/OFF the device using physical switch and corresponding state has to reflect on the app.
what are the ways in which I can achieve this feature
@Xander Thank you for making this clear.
