@maty said in MySensor on Hass.io - can't get it work:

/config/mysensor

Default path seems to be generic and not really useful, at the beginning I had problems with understanding this as well. Take a look at the full location where your home assistant configuration files are located, this could be a good location. and add "mysensors.json" at the end (this file will be created and you can name it anything.yson).
like mine is "/root/.homeassistant/mysensors.json"

@maty said in MySensor on Hass.io - can't get it work:

e code isn't mine (made by my friend), I've been using it with Domoticz for almost a year, and it worked perfectly. But recently i decided to give a try to Hass.io, and I really like it. But I still have a problem with lights connected via MySensors (Arduino Mega conected to Rpi via USB), can't get it work with Hass.io. Config part in configuration.yaml look

Hi @MaTy
I have no experience with hass.io, but some comments arise.

1. Your configuration.yaml file path seems to be incorrect. You have to edit this to real path, something like "/user/.homeassistant/mysensors.json" or whatever. The path should exist, file there will be created if it is correct and writeable.
2. You should check if your USB port is really /dev/ttyUSB0 usually command "lsusb" is used, but I'm not sure how to do this in hass.io
3. Also, check if USB port speed is the same as in mysensors gateway and your configuration. 38400 seems different than the standard what usually is 115200 if I'm not mistaken.
   EDIT: Ok, baud seems to match, so that should not be an issue.

@Steve-Hadley said in Idiot newbie question:

f I build a node using another nodemcu

Hi @Steve-Hadley as @gohan said In your case (when using esp8266 based boards) your gateways are the nodes at the same time because they connect to the controller by themselves. Just edit your code to accommodate your sensor and you got easily deployable node anywhere where in your wi-fi coverage zone without additional gateways.

Thanks for your help, could not wait and already downloaded portabble verssion on my work pc to test this thing out, seems to work as expected, thanks again for your recomendation.

Sorry, I meant to say ftp/sftp... Its early morning for me
I will definitely check atom after work, seems to be an answer to a lot of my problems, thanks for mentioning it.

Hi all.
@maghac Can you please share what plugin do You use? I already use np++ but have not thought of that, thanks.

@martinhjelmare Can atom editor can connect to my home assistant files through ssh without using samba shares as np++ can with plugins? If so, I should check that.

Otherwise, no worries about rushing this implementation and thanks for your work.

Hi @sindrome73 by instructions here https://home-assistant.io/components/mysensors/ you chose path to .json file (and it is automatically created after that) by adding path to it to your configuration.yaml

Well, my 10" laptop also makes hard to work with lengthy text. I guess that in normal size monitor this is not as much a problem.
Let's see what @martinhjelmare has to say.

@Richard-van-der-Plas said in mysensors.json file structure:

Isn't it possible to structure the file with newlines idents etc ?
You can do it manually, but i assume when a new node is added the structure is gone again.

Agreed. Needed to edit couple times and messed up once or twice. I usually copy the file contents to online .json file checker that formats file to more understandable and then I can figure out where to make changes.

Hi, I am interested in this as well, I got the old wood boiler and all its smarts is by 220v and thermostats and relays. I would like to interface those signals with Arduino for displaying some of the boilers states and then maybe automate some things afterward.

Til now I thought about a lot of 5v chargers, but this module seems to be more compact.
