Oh yes, my bad! Thanks.

@homer

Sorry I missed seeing your post. It should be just the IP address, same as running on Vera.

Did you get this to work?

Thanks so much for that, I did wonder. My nodes include a old SenseBender node and I don't have an easy means to update this, so looks like I'll go for the older version.

I'm trying to build the above, following instructions here:
https://www.mysensors.org/build/raspberry

But I'm confused by the fact that the RPi branch here:
https://github.com/mysensors/Raspberry
says "DEPRECATED"

Is it the case that the RPi code is now part of the master branch?

I am trying to run a controller (openLuup) on the same board as the gateway. It appears to receive messages from the MySensors network, but inclusion fails (does nothing.) I'm somewhat at a loss as to how to proceed.

It all used to work so well 18 months ago with earlier versions and an Arduino Gateway. Is it a problem that I am using the latest gateway version, but my sensors are running an old (1.4?) firmware version?

Thanks for any guidance on this. It's quite a while since I did any Arduino development, so it's taking some time to get back up to speed. Lots seems to have changed (for the good!) in the meantime.

It's been a while since I posted here, but openLuup has continued development and is now a really very capable controller with extensive plug-in compatibility with Vera. Latest version always available from GitHub here https://github.com/akbooer/openLuup

The latest version (Release 7) of openLuup is now available on GitHub here https://github.com/akbooer/openLuup

It supports a number of new features including

• no dependencies on system HTTP port 80 server (easier setup)
• remote access possible through weaved.com
• Lua modules as CGIs for easy functionality extensions
• sundry bug fixes and internal improvements

That's a really good price! A whole lot better than a Yún. I've not tried a Dragino but they seem to offer similar functionalities. I'm not sure about the details of the serial link handling for the bridge - if the bridge library has the same calls, it should work OK.

Just to put a footnote to the above (copied from another post - apologies, but it does belong here) ...

GitHub fork with the Yun Gateway

@zurli, Ive updated my GitHub fork with the Yun Gateway

https://github.com/akbooer/Arduino/tree/development/libraries/MySensors/examples/GatewayYun

I'm not near my development system for the next few days, but will post the Yún gateway on GitHub when I'm back.

@pdey So what controller are you running on the OpenWRT processor, or are you just using this as a serial gateway?

The latest version (Release 6) of openLuup is now available on GitHub here https://github.com/akbooer/openLuup

There's also now a section for this in the MySensors Controllers list http://www.mysensors.org/controller/openluup pointing to documentation as well as the code.

An active discussion board is here http://forum.micasaverde.com/index.php/board,79.0.html, with help from people who have installed this on different systems (Mac, Windows, Arduino, BeagleBone, RPi, Ubuntu, OpenWRT, Synology, ...) but also any questions welcomed right here too.

I've been using it as the main controller for my MySensors network for at least three months.

It's a force-directed graph, see https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Force-directed_graph_drawing

Actually built into the UI that I'm using (AltUI by @amg0) as part of my controller ( openLuup, see Controllers page) and it also runs on a Vera controller.

It's implemented in JavaScript in a browser.

@hek, No, not at all. Easy to set the status of a Vera device to failed, which gives a visual indication (albeit a somewhat misleading text message) on all versions of the UI (viz. UI5, UI7, and the impeccable ALTUI)

UI5:

UI7:

ALTUI:

This should certainly be possible to flag with some code changes to the Vera MySensors plugin. I'm taking a look at trying to merge the main branch and the UI7 versions, so will give it some consideration. Of course, someone else could always beat me to it!

Would a single value for all sensors be acceptable? I suspect not. In which case you'd need a neat way of specifying this on a per device basis.

The latest version (Release 5) of openLuup(cross-platform Vera emulator) is now available from the Vera BB here: http://forum.micasaverde.com/index.php/topic,32315.msg252150.html#msg252150

It runs the MySensors plugin (ethernet connection to gateway only) and I'm using it as my main HA controller for MySensors devices (and bridged to Vera for Zwave access.)

@BartE said:

So the problem is NOT controlling the device, but having the RGBController to startup correctly as child.

OK, here's my confusion: you can't have the Arduino plugin AND the RGBW Controller plugin both controlling the RGBW device. By definition, it is a child of the Arduino plugin and all functionality for that child device has to be provided by the parent. Are there, perhaps, some actions defined in the services or implementation file which are not, in fact, implemented by your additional code in the Arduino plugin?

@BartE OK, so the device D_RGBController1.xml is actually a child of the Arduino plugin, which handles (with your changes) the action call you showed. The problem, then is that @vosmont's plugin does not recognise this device as one it can control? Or is it that you are expecting, somehow, the colour wheel to work directly with the MYSensor plugin?

Sorry to be so dim about this, but I'd hate to be chasing up the wrong tree.

Just to start again from the beginning, you are trying to get the RGBW Controller plugin to work with MySensors RGBW devices. What I don't know is how MySensors presents an RGBW device - I am assuming you get a node with 4 child dimmers, but perhaps not? This is what a native Vera multi-colour dimmer typically does (eg. Fibaro.)

One problem I foresee is that the MySensors plugin is parent to all the MySensors devices, be they actual nodes or individual sensors, so you don't get the same logical grouping with one Vera RGBW device controlling its separate R G B W children (which is what, I think, @vosmont's controller requires.)

Happy to help. I've played a bit with @vosmont's RGB plugin when getting it to run under openLuup. It would be best if he could add a new device as part of the standard plugin - it does have some very specific code for different manufacturers. I guess I need to take a closer look at the workflow in the OP and try and understand what is needed and what is not working.
