      @marceloaqno
      How so?
      I've tried running the command you've supplied, but it doesn't work... Do I have to install mosquitto?
      I didn't see it anywhere in the guide.
      Everything is working at the moment, you think it can pose a problem later?

    • RE: 💬 Building a Raspberry Pi Gateway

      I got the previous problem out of the way for now...
      Now onto the next one.

      I started a node and now I can clearly see data being sent and received on my serial log and ssh. (See picture)
      0_1482941358792_upload-08fe5f75-3536-4fb5-a0f4-2ee7d0edbc6a

      So I tried adding the gateway to domoticz using following settings:
      0_1482941417649_upload-ce92a80a-a5aa-4713-bfe8-227c71b8ce72

      Yet if I check hardware setup I can see no nodes being presented.
      0_1482941455435_upload-e36e2fbf-ac80-4381-895d-293e6e638ead

      Are there settings or steps I missed?

    • RE: 💬 Building a Raspberry Pi Gateway

      Hello
      The past two days I've been trying to setup the gateway on my RPi 2 with domoticz.
      Here's what I did.
      I installed domoticz onto my raspi, then I tried the install the gateway.

      git clone https://github.com/mysensors/MySensors.git
      cd MySensors
      

      Afterwards I did the following

      ./configure --my-gateway=mqtt --my-controller-ip-address=127.0.0.1 --my-mqtt-publish-topic-prefix=mysensors-out --my-mqtt-subscribe-topic-prefix=mysensors-in --my-mqtt-client-id=mygateway1
      
      make
      
      sudo ./bin/mysgw -d
      

      Then it seems to start normally onto the point where it refuses to connect to anything.
      Does anyone have a clue what's going wrong?
      I can't seem to figure it out. I've tried it several times over, and always go similar results.
      I was using GertSanders's connector for the RPi Hub and I've tried it with normal wiring too.
      As far as I can see it shouldn't be a wiring problem...

      0_1482936624899_upload-edfa86af-fd0c-4e63-be7b-5393e20f27eb

      EDIT:
      !UPDATE!
      I think I just fixed it. I reconfigured it to include the IRQ Pin and now it's just listening for throughput

      pi@raspberrypi:~/MySensors $  sudo ./bin/mysgw -d

      So I just succesfully updated the code to library 2.0.0
      Yet, now nothing shows up in domoticz. Do I also need to update something to the raspberry pi 2 (which is acting as the gateway).
      Since the serial gateway is stating to be succesfully sending information.

      Oh right! Guessed I missed that while copying and pasting everything.
      I just remarked there was a v2.0 while writing the sketch... Might rewrite it while I'm busy 🙂

    • RE: LDR as light sensor

      @GertSanders Thank you!

      So, you are basically sending a light intensity value between 0 and 100 to domoticz.
      I'm going to leave the battery part out because my sensor is installed near a power outlet, and I can just use power from an adapter.
      I'm testing it now, and reporting back with my results!

    • LDR as light sensor

      Hello

      Since I'm a student and the holidays have begun, I finally have time to convert my purchases online into a domotic system.
      I succesfully set up my raspi 2 with domoticz and started working on my very first sensor.
      Now in the "build section" at light, there are true light sensors used, but I only needed an estimated value on which I can base actions.
      So my idea was to use an LDR and some calculations to convert the analog input to a luxish value.
      Now... I've edited the "light" sketch from the build section to send the value I calculated, but when I look in domoticz, at "Hardware setup", it seems like this child is sending no values. (screenshot below).
      And when I go to "setup devices", this sensor doesn't even show up. (screenshot below)

      Can anyone check my code and say what I've done wrong. I'll also add a picture of my breadboard in a moment. Don't know whether that'll be clear though.
