@efflon Do you know how I can setup the sonoff gateway on the Vera Edge? I used the MySensors plugin to add the sonoff to the network but can't get the relay to toggle.. Help is much appreciated!! Thanks!!

Hi All,

I have a serial gateway running perfectly on my Vera controller. But now when I try to create a secondary device for an ethernet gateway it won't create the device.

I followed the step as provided to create a device with the D_Arduino1.xml file and then click create device. when I do that a pop up comes up and says "Device created", but when i go to my devices no new device is added.

Does somebody know the solution to this problem?

How can I create a new device in Vera for a gateway? Can't seem to get that working

Hi,
Is it possible to use this setup without the nrf24l01 atached, so that i can use the esp8266 just as a sensor (not as a gateway)?

Hi everyone,
Is it possible to build an ethernet gateway with a RFM69 radio module?
Because I tried this a while ago and that didn't work because of a software problem in the library's. Is that already solved or not?
Thanks!

@Tris This is the code I used, it was sugested by Frédéric. With this I don't need to change anything to the myconfig.h file, or do I?

/**
 * 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.

 *
 * DESCRIPTION
 * The EthernetGateway sends data received from sensors to the ethernet link.
 * The gateway also accepts input on ethernet interface, which is then sent out to the radio network.
 *
 * The GW code is designed for Arduino 328p / 16MHz.  ATmega168 does not have enough memory to run this program.
 *
 * LED purposes:
 * - To use the feature, uncomment MY_DEFAULT_xxx_LED_PIN in the sketch below
 * - 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/ethernet_gateway for wiring instructions.

@Tris I also get the same debugging when using the MQTTclientgateway..

@Tris Cut the reset connection and tried again, did not work.. still getting the same debugging info..

@Tris That can indeed be the fault, because i was looking at the hoop up page from sparfun (https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/rfm69hcw-hookup-guide#hardware-overview) and thought I read that you have to connect the reset to ground, but that might be not true after reading it again. So i'll try doing that and see what happens.

Thanks!!

@Tris But I don't necessarily have to use the mqttw5100gateway, do I? Because I don't really know what you can do with mqtt, what the advantage is of that.

I'm also using seperate 3.3V and a 4.7µF capacitor for the radio.

Here is my schematic I used. I etched my own pcb for this and I think everything looks correct.

@Frédéric-Grandjean
Hi again, because I'm a mac user didn't find the w5100.h file. after I took my laptop and searched for the file I found it.
after I replaced the code in the w5100.h file and changed the gateway code and complied I got these errors:
and it went on.

but when I changed the code in the w5100.h file from this:

#elif defined(W5100SPIPATCH)	
      inline static void initSS()    { DDRD  |=  _BV(7); };
      inline static void setSS()     { cli(); PORTD &= ~_BV(7); };
      inline static void resetSS()   { PORTD |=  _BV(7); sei(); };
    #endif

To this:

#else	//This doesn't work => elif defined(W5100SPIPATCH)
      inline static void initSS()    { DDRD  |=  _BV(7); };
      inline static void setSS()     { cli(); PORTD &= ~_BV(7); };
      inline static void resetSS()   { PORTD |=  _BV(7); sei(); };
    #endif

it compiled without any errors.
So I uploaded the code and opened the serial debugging window in which I get this:

I don't know how to fix this, do you know maybe?

Thanks!!
Greetings!

@Frédéric-Grandjean
Hey, I'm finally working on the gateway.
But the problem is that I can't seem to find the w5100.h file.. :s
Can you maybe tell me where I can find it?

Greetings

@Frédéric-Grandjean Have to wait untill my level converters are arriving.. also don't have enough transistors laying around to make one my self.. did you use a level converter, probably you did?

@Frédéric-Grandjean
Thank you for replying so quickly!
I`m going to try this as quickly as possible and let you know how it went.
Thanks!

Hi, Frédéric Grandjean

I'm also trying to build an ethernet gateway with the rfm69 radio's. But also have some errors when testing the code. Also I'm not sure I connected everything the right way, because there's not that info about those modules.
Since you have this al working now, is it possible for me to take a look at your code and maybe show me how you connected everything?

Thank you!
Jonathan
