Thanks! That fixed everything.

not sure if this error helps at all.

I recently wiped and re created my homeassistant and mysensors integration on my raspberry pi 3 before, I used the config integration. With the new build I used the Add-on integration and I am now getting the following error ```

I have a rain gauge, temperature and humidity entities that function properly but, my soil moisture, lux and prefix items are failing to be recognised. I assume it is a version issue. I have attempted to use the following in my config file to fix it

mysensors:
  gateways:
    - device: ...
      # other things ...
  version: "2.3"

I attempted to use /dev/ttyACM0 as a device but begin to get a persistence file error that I could not get solved.

any ideas?

OH cool. I guess I have tons more to learn thank you for your help

@gohan it appears as though I need SLC and SDA for the sensor it will prevent me from using a second SLC/SDA device. I was assuming that they were utilizing the analog input. My comment may be deleted as it is clearly not applicable

Where do the pin assignments live?

Editing the json took care of all the junk. I appreciate the help.

Try assigning a node ID. Sometimes controllers will provide an ID but the gateway will not. Currently it is using the ID of 255. I think the line of code to add to the sketch is

#define node_ID #

Where the # at the end is the number of your node. Any value between 1 and 254 should work.

I have previously assigned the node and for testing purposes I don't mind it remaining the same. It was surprising to me that Home Assistant doesn't automatically detect sketch adjustments when the node connects. My next step is to learn how to clean up home assistants records to remove unwanted test data.

I feel smart now, After resetting the home assistant server I noticed that my motion sensor (Previously tested) was assigned to that node on child_id 1 After changing my temperature child_id to 2 The temperature showed up properly.

I am having a problem getting HA to read multiple sensors from a single node. What am i missing? I am using the sample DHT Code below.

// Enable debug prints
#define MY_DEBUG

// Enable and select radio type attached 
#define MY_RADIO_NRF24
//#define MY_RADIO_RFM69
//#define MY_RS485

#include <SPI.h>
#include <MySensors.h>  
#include <DHT.h>

// Set this to the pin you connected the DHT's data pin to
#define DHT_DATA_PIN 2

// Set this offset if the sensor has a permanent small offset to the real temperatures
#define SENSOR_TEMP_OFFSET 0

// Sleep time between sensor updates (in milliseconds)
// Must be >1000ms for DHT22 and >2000ms for DHT11
static const uint64_t UPDATE_INTERVAL = 60000;

// Force sending an update of the temperature after n sensor reads, so a controller showing the
// timestamp of the last update doesn't show something like 3 hours in the unlikely case, that
// the value didn't change since;
// i.e. the sensor would force sending an update every UPDATE_INTERVAL*FORCE_UPDATE_N_READS [ms]
static const uint8_t FORCE_UPDATE_N_READS = 10;

  }

  // (otherwise, timeout errors might occure for the first reading)

    }

    Serial.println(temperature);
    #endif
  } else {
