@gonzalonal I've observed something similar on my system, as I recall the binding wasn't even able to establish the initial connection to a gateway. Have OH upgraded today from an earlier build (~3 weeks old).

@TimO yes, message occurs on startup and I'm already using version from marketplace, I see it as market:binding-3328323 - 1.0

@TimO here is the output:

2017-03-23 20:51:32.531 [INFO ] [ui.habmin.internal.servlet.HABminApp] - Started HABmin servlet at /habmin

2017-03-23 20:51:33.772 [INFO ] [al.protocol.ip.MySensorsIpConnection] - Successfully connected to MySensors Bridge.

Just noticed in the log:

[WARN ] [.discovery.MySensorsDiscoveryService] - Cannot automatic discover thing node: 0, child: 255 please insert it manually

Is that normal or any additional configuration is needed?
Thanks!

@LastSamurai please check the group ownership

$ ls -l /dev/ttyUSB0

Make sure the port you're using is included in EXTRA_JAVA_OPTS as described here

I'm also interested in Ethernet Gateway with RS485 transport.
At the moment I have successfully tested this on Arduino UNO with 2 different Ethernet modules, W5100 and ENC28J60.
In both cases I'm using hardware serial port on Arduino, not AltSoftSerial.

// Enable this if RS485 is connected to a hardware serial port
#define MY_RS485_HWSERIAL Serial

@mfalkvidd , yes I also found this in MQTT GW example, thanks.
This seems to be not working on my ENC28J60 - as I can see the the default gateway setting is not taken into account. I will test with W5100.

Edit: I confirm that these settings work properly with W5100, just tested.

Maybe I just overlooked that, but is it possible to statically define netmask and gateway in the sketch? I'm using ENC28J60.

@andreacioni thank you
Yes, it was a change in the .things file, but it was related to another binding.

@TimO , I just noticed a weird behavior - I've changed configuration for another binding and restarted it from the console but that killed mysensors binding:

Complete stop/start of OH is the only solution so far.

@TimO yes, it is working, but please check this one and 2nd (Network Sanity Checker thread disabled). Thank you!

@TimO what about my error? I'm on the latest version already.

With all my respect to the project and people behind it I believe that MQTT is more widely used than MySensors. So for me it would be more logical to add another MQTT client to the network rather than introduce any additional gateway. Just my 2¢.

Just updated my OH2 installation from snapshot to RC/beta and immediately got an error with the binding:

[ERROR] [rs.internal.protocol.MySensorsReader] - (java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: "Gateway startup complete.") on reading from connection, message: class org.openhab.binding.mysensors.internal.protocol.serial.MySensorsSerialReader

But then the usual:

[INFO ] [col.serial.MySensorsSerialConnection] - Successfully connected to MySensors Bridge.
[WARN ] [col.serial.MySensorsSerialConnection] - Network Sanity Checker thread disabled from bridge configuration

What could be a problem? Do I need to perform some cleanup on my system? What exactly needs to be deleted?

Sorry, but what's the use case here?
With Sonoff it's either hard or impossible to add a radio or rs485 transport, so I don't see it as a real gateway.
If one wants to use it as a pure client and control it with MQTT - there is a great working solution available already: https://github.com/arendst/Sonoff-MQTT-OTA-Arduino

@TimO Thanks, will keep it off in the GUI.

Hello everyone
I'm slowly migrating to OH2, my small MySensors network generally works fine but I see some weird behavior with the binding configuration in Paper UI.
So far it looks like "Disable network sanity check" is reversed - I'm sliding it to the left which means for me 'not disabled', i.e. 'enabled', but in the log I see "Checker thread disabled".

Is that ok?

I'm trying to get my Ethernet gateway (UNO with W5100) working with RS485 transport.
While RS485 part seems to be working fine between the node and gateway, the Ethernet part seems to be dead. I suspect this is related to the fact that Ethernet shield uses pin 10 which is unusable with RS485. Am I right? Any workaround?

@hek
thanks for this really fast and motivating response, I will try!

I'm curious whether it is possible to use this RS485 transport with Ethernet or MQTT gateway or Serial gateway is the only option?
For example, controller talks with MySensors Gateway over Ethernet,
MySensors Gateway talks with the Nodes over RS485.
Thanks!

I'm now using W5100 Ethernet, this is what I have on startup:

0;255;3;0;9;Starting gateway (R-NGA-, 2.0.0-beta)
0;255;3;0;9;Init complete, id=0, parent=0, distance=0
0;255;3;0;9;Attempting MQTT connection...
0;255;3;0;9;MQTT connected

With the following request I was able control my 1st relay:
mygateway1-in/0/1/1/0/2 , value is either 0 or 1

Seems to be working!

@TimO , thanks for the idea.
So I can probably take some code used for reporting button presses in the examples and use it in the 'message'.

Thanks again
Andrew

@hek , thanks for that. I'll try again once I get another module.

Hello everyone

I'm testing MySensor Ethernet gateway with a relay code on it. My understanding that Gateway stores the current state of the relay (or GPIO port) in it's EPROM. Can the binding periodically check the state of the port or should I rely on OH persistence functionality? Please advise what is the right way to keep the states synced between the Gateway and OH.

Thanks
Andrew

Hello everyone!

Just installed Mosquitto on RPi and I've adapted GatewayW5100MQTTClient example to use the ENC28J60 module I have. Should it work, BTW?

Mosquitto seems to be working, but I cannot get any debug from it... So I'm curious how can I check that my Gateway is talking with Mosquitto?

Thank you!
