Today, when I connected the arduino through the usb port in the raspberry pi 3, then entered the /dev directory, I saw this :
Isn't that weird ? what is the "p" is doing there between the tty and the USB0 ? also tried accessing this "ttypUSB0" but still get an error
@gohan OK I see . I'll try it today. Thanks
@gohan I thought that the esp8266 may be just a replacement to the WizNET (W5100) or the ENC28J60 (suggested in the mysensors instructions to built Ethernet / MQTT gateways). But from what I understand, upon your link you gave me, I don't see the nrf24 module connected to the ESP8266-12 , but the ESP8266-12 module solely.
Note that I need the nrf24 to be a part of the Ethernet gateway in order to be able to communicate with the nodes
Sorry to hear that.
I think the .img file is the same but I'm not 100% sure.
Mine is RPI3
I don't think that it has a relation to your internet.
Try flashing the SD card again by following these instructions :

@gohan Actually I have the ESP8266-12 and I'll give it a try also (at the same time, ordered the WizNET (W5100) Ethernet module and the ENC28J60 Ethernet module but it will take time until I'll get it) , just wanted to solve the problem with the serial gateway ... :neutral_face:
I can suggest you to try and flash version prior to v0.67 with "etcher" (That's what I flashed and then updated to V0.67 so can't tell you if there is an issue with v0.67) and wait for about 20 min after booting it up from the sd card (for installation). But before that, did you try to ping the address of the hassio to see if it's connected to the same net ? to see if you can access it at all... start with "ping hassio" in the cmd and see if it has a reply
googling of this problem (same error message) brought me to this link : link text
but I can't see what am I doing different ? Does anybody have a clue ?
@nitroburn thank for the detailed explanation but already tried what you suggested without success. After typing
'hassio host hardware' I've got : "Error decoding json invalid character ':' after top-level value: 404: Not Foundc"
also tried what you suggest with "dmesg | grep usb" and got :
as you can see, the usb port is : ttyUSB0 (exactly as typed in the attached configured file - see below) , so why the heck am I getting error in the config file ?! Where am I wrong ??
This is the config file (written according to [link text](https://www.home-assistant.io/components/mysensors/ guidance) :
but I still get this error again and again :
@mfalkvidd
Actually he did but under Hssio the "sudo" keyword is not acknowledged. Tried without this 'super user do' keyword but nothing
What are you using instead of hass.io ? maybe I'll consider using it too if it's working.
Regarding my problem , I've got this message :
"Invalid config for [mysensors]: not a valid value for dictionary value @ data['mysensors']['gateways'][0]['device']. Got /'dev/ttyUSB0'.
I connected to the terminal through SSH are port 22 and typed : ls /dev , saw the tty folder but it was empty (expected USB0 to appear there). But when I typed dmesg | grep tty I see : "ch341-uart converter now attached to ttyUSB0". Really confused ! Though maybe I need to enable the USB0 port but didn't find any clue how to do it. In what forum can I ask for help for this kind of problem ?
@gohan OK, after wiring the nrf24 directly to the Raspberry pi GPIO, what should I need to write in the configuration.yaml file to identify it ? No doubts that this type of wiring is also a serial gateway but I have no clue what to write in the configuration file ...
Did you solved it ? What did you do ? I have the same problem and I'm frustrated
@gohan In order to use the Ethernet gateway I need a Ethernet module and I I'll have to wait for a very long time :/ What type of home automation controller are you using instead of the 'Home assistant' ?
@martinhjelmare ? have a clue ? familiar with Home assistant first serial gateway configuration and can help me ?
