MySensors values not showing in openHAB

Hi all, newbie here - please could I ask you all to have a look at my configuration and let me know where I am going wrong on my first MySensors DHT node. I'm not able to view temperature or humidity from the node the standard DHT sketch here; https://www.mysensors.org/build/humidity.

I am using an ethernet gateway running on my Raspberry Pi running Openhabian - all installed well and gateway seems to be working from the logs below and I can see it's receiving the temperature and humidity values as expected. Problem is there are no values showing on the Paper UI control page or my sitemap (screen shots below). I have added a binding to openHAB for my solar panel inverter and that is receiving and displaying values ok.

Can anyone spot my mistake? Any suggestion very welcome ...

Here is my configuration;

@Eme Thanks for letting us know how you solved the problem - helps us all to learn. I've recently upgraded my Raspberry Pi 1b to 4 and just got it working as an ethernet gateway with standard NRF24 radio. I'm curious about a few things as I've been trying to also use a PA LNA radio but without success;

• Any reason you have set up your gateway as serial and not ethernet?

• What did you mean by "Don't rely on GPIO pins to power it, use a regulator". By regulator did you mean the capacitor, did you use another regulator component - I can't see from your image

• Did you change the power setting of you configuration file MyConfig.h -lowering the power to "RF24_PA_LOW'?

@iamtheghost I feel your pain brother. I am a newbie to MySensors and although got up and running relatively quickly with openHAB and an old Raspberry Pi 1 controller/gateway - I still spend days trying to sort out radio issues. At the moment it's replacing a standard nrf24L01 with the pa+lna version ... been at it for a couple of days without successful comms with gateway.

Two years trying ... I salute you. Keep holding on to the fact that when it works it will be so satisfying

@sullivan-buchs - I've had a look at github but can't find an explanation for how it works. As a newbie to mysensors can you explain how you 'read' the meter?

@djal Beautiful! Amazing! It works!

I've been struggling with this issue for over two weeks ... I guess I'll have to learn about the assignment of node numbers in more detail.

Thanks @djal much appreciated.
