I'm having the same problem as well, very frustrating not getting it to work!

I've decided to switch from Openhab to Hass.io, but have ran into a problem. I have an ethernet gateway running on an esp8266 with a temperature sensor connected directly to it. I also have one arduino with two reed switches, and another arduino with two temperature sensors.

My problem is that HA adds the temp sensor on the gateway and one of the reed switches, but not the other reed switch and none of the temperature sensors on the other node.

In the log I see error "Node 1 is unknown". Node 1 is the node with two temp sensors. Can I add them manually? All mysensors nodes worked in Openhab and when I look in the mysgw app I can see that the gateway gets the updated values as expected.

I've been searching for a solution and found one after trial and error. I think my biggest mistake was to use the printed pin numbers instead of the gpio numbers of the nodemcu when adding my temp sensor. My code looks like this, pin 5 is D1:

/**
 * The MySensors Arduino library handles the wireless radio link and protocol
 * between your home built sensors/actuators and HA controller of choice.
 * The sensors forms a self healing radio network with optional repeaters. Each
 * repeater and gateway builds a routing tables in EEPROM which keeps track of the
 * network topology allowing messages to be routed to nodes.

 * REVISION HISTORY
 * Version 1.0 - Henrik EKblad
 * Contribution by a-lurker and Anticimex,
 * Contribution by Norbert Truchsess <norbert.truchsess@t-online.de>
 * Contribution by Ivo Pullens (ESP8266 support)
 *
 * DESCRIPTION
 * The EthernetGateway sends data received from sensors to the WiFi link.
 * The gateway also accepts input on ethernet interface, which is then sent out to the radio network.
 *
 * VERA CONFIGURATION:
 * Enter "ip-number:port" in the ip-field of the Arduino GW device. This will temporarily override any serial configuration for the Vera plugin.
 * E.g. If you want to use the defualt values in this sketch enter: 192.168.178.66:5003
 *
 * LED purposes:
 * - To use the feature, uncomment any of the MY_DEFAULT_xx_LED_PINs in your sketch, only the LEDs that is defined is used.
 * - RX (green) - blink fast on radio message recieved. In inclusion mode will blink fast only on presentation recieved
 * - TX (yellow) - blink fast on radio message transmitted. In inclusion mode will blink slowly
 * - ERR (red) - fast blink on error during transmission error or recieve crc error
 *
 * See http://www.mysensors.org/build/esp8266_gateway for wiring instructions.
 * nRF24L01+  ESP8266
 * VCC        VCC
 * CE         GPIO4
 * CSN/CS     GPIO15
 * SCK        GPIO14
 * MISO       GPIO12
 * MOSI       GPIO13
 * GND        GND
 *
 * Not all ESP8266 modules have all pins available on their external interface.
 * This code has been tested on an ESP-12 module.
 * The ESP8266 requires a certain pin configuration to download code, and another one to run code:
 * - Connect REST (reset) via 10K pullup resistor to VCC, and via switch to GND ('reset switch')
 * - Connect GPIO15 via 10K pulldown resistor to GND
 * - Connect CH_PD via 10K resistor to VCC
 * - Connect GPIO2 via 10K resistor to VCC
 * - Connect GPIO0 via 10K resistor to VCC, and via switch to GND ('bootload switch')
 *
  * Inclusion mode button:
 * - Connect GPIO5 via switch to GND ('inclusion switch')
 *
 * Hardware SHA204 signing is currently not supported!
 *
 * Make sure to fill in your ssid and WiFi password below for ssid & pass.

I know the thread was old, but I thought a solution would be worth telling
Here is a sketch of the pins:

@antonholmstedt reconnection is currently implemented in binding (look here). Feel free to open an issue if you experience reconnection fails in your environment

Yes I have reconnection problems right now, so will open an issue

Would it be possible to fit a pro mini in the one you linked in the BOM, or is that another case?

First I want to thank you for this binding, got it working with my esp8266 gateway without any problems at all. However, I want to ask how the reconnection problem is developing, any plans to solve it or is it not possible? I've tried to scan the thread but didn't find any information regarding it.

I suppose my question is a bit too early to ask, but what could the total price be for each complete switch? This is a truly awsome projekt, huge respect for your work!

It's a closet with two sliding doors and therefore two magnetic switches, and I want the LED to turn on when opening one of the doors, but also be able to turn it off remotely if we forgot to close it when leaving our home.

I plan to use a LED strip as a closet light, controlled by a magnetic door switch, and of course also controllable in Domoticz. What would be the right way to write the code, should the pro mini send the state of the magnetic switch to the controller and then let the controller turn on the light, or is it easier to let the pro mini turn on the light directly and then report the state back to the controller? Big difference in delay?
