  • Connecting Gateway to Domoticz
    C ceech

    @mfalkvidd First thing one does is to follow instructions exactly and hope things will work out. They don't. You try a different type of connection. Which one? Why one or the other? Which option among the same type? It doesn't work, either. Now, you are thinking, ok this guide is for several controllers, so how do I adapt it for my specific case.
    The point being, you can't adapt the instructions on your own. You have to ask someone who's done it before and knows what commands to use in order to make Gateway connect to the specific controller.
    For example: using
    --my-gateway=ethernet --my-controller-url-address=YOUR-CONTROLLER-ADDRESS
    will never connect your Gateway to Domoticz. How can one know that this is the line to be modified?

    @mfalkvidd Of course. Skipping test is a bad idea. It is obvious, though that people who resort to asking questions on the forum have tried the test step several times to try and figure things out for themselves. Maybe if the https://www.mysensors.org/build/raspberry wasn't misleading they would even succeed.

    @mfalkvidd Removing --my-controller-ip-address did in fact solve the issue.
    Thank you for your help.
    So, to sum up, these are commands to be used when configuring Gateway for Domoticz ethernet (LAN) connection:

    ./configure --my-transport=nrf24 --my-gateway=ethernet
    
    make
    sudo make install
    
    sudo systemctl enable mysgw.service # << adding to boot
    sudo systemctl start mysgw.service # << starting
    Domoticz

    @mfalkvidd Right. This is the Domoticz's part of the setting
    0_1505841041884_Untitled.png
    And I configured Gateway like this:
    ./configure --my-transport=nrf24 --my-gateway=ethernet --my-controller-ip-address=192.168.1.120

    make
    sudo make install

    sudo systemctl enable mysgw.service # << adding to boot
    sudo systemctl start mysgw.service # << starting

    @NeverDie There are two serial ports available in Domoticz. Right? And you have to specify which one you are using in Gateway configuration. Right?

    @mfalkvidd It's a good advice, unfortunately it didn't resolve the problem.

    @NeverDie I have no idea.

  • Connecting Gateway to Domoticz

    @mfalkvidd @NeverDie I tried all sorts of combinations. Like for example:
    ./configure --my-transport=nrf24
    ./configure --my-gateway=serial
    ./configure --my-serial-is-pty
    ./configure --my-serial-pty=/dev/ttyMySensorsGateway

    and in Domoticz MySensors Gateway USB with dev/ttyAMA0

    then
    ./configure --my-transport=nrf24
    ./configure --my-gateway=ethernet
    ./configure --my-controller-ip-address=192.168.1.120
    and in Domoticz MySensors Gateway with LAN

    I used other different combinations and this is as close to the connection as I could get

    Decided to switch to Domoticz, ran into problem.
    So, Domoticz

    and Gateway
    https://www.mysensors.org/build/raspberry
    got installed.
    How does one make them talk to each other? Any help is appreciated.

    @alexsh1 Manufacturers are probably not very keen on making them, since the production costs are higher.

    @alexsh1 Yes, the boost converter works down to 180mV. In other words, it can almost completely discharge capacitors.

    Noise isn't bad at all. Surprisingly. It is no bigger than the background noise when no input is connected.

    A few boards arrived and a couple are assembled

    0_1499186648537_20170704_182615.jpg

    The board charges four 1.5F 2.7V super capacitors. It also provides a boost circuit with 3.45V output on main and sub outputs. It works down to 180mV and provides 3.5mA for 30 minutes. I'll report on leakage.

    0_1499186704077_20170704_182640.jpg

    There are two outputs main and sub. Main is on all the time and sub is switched with high signal on the mode connector.
