@Oli: delete the Makefile.inc file on mysensors folder
./configure --my-gateway=ethernet
make
sudo ./bin/mysgw -b
go to domoticz and create a new MySensors Gateway with LAN, inform 127.0.0.1 as the address and 5003 as the port...
that should do the trick.
Hi, it looks like this constant is used only during the first initialization of the node, when the parent_id and the node_id are being written to the node's eeprom, not during normal operation.
I tested a method from another suggestion on this forum, to ask the controller for the last value sent by the node, since if you ask for data it do times out and you could then assume that the gateway was offline or some other network error occurred, but this technique did not work all the time.
I have power outages here that disable the gateway and then the nodes eat up their batteries trying to resend the same message over and over and I would love to find a way to stop this from happening too.
You are my hero, man !!!
I have several 2xAA powered sensors that connect to a MySGateway without an UPS. Power outages are frequent in my street and when the power goes out on the gateway, the sensors eat their batteries trying to send data... Your method of checking the status of the uplink before trying to send is going to cost a little more during normal operations but will save a lot in case of outages.
Good idea!
I also have problems with my battery-powered sleeping-most-of-the-time nodes. I actually have to disassemble them and force reset several times until the OTA FW update function starts to work, which pretty much negates its usage.
@Tekka, I echo mbedarff´s words, your job is fantastic but can we all try to add on our efforts and try to make it even better than it already is ?
Cheers from Portugal.

@gohan I beg to differ. On Page 299 of Atmel's ATMega 328p datasheet you can verify that the Absolute Maximum Ratings table states : "Voltage on any Pin except RESET with respect to Ground . . . . . . . . . .-0.5V to VCC+0.5V" which adds to 3.8V for a 3.3V Pro.
And also: *NOTICE: Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device.
Perhaps you have mistaken the Pro for the NRF24L01+ radio which is supplied by 3.3v but has 5Volt tolerant inputs ?
Otherwise there would be no need for those USB to FTDI boards with 3v3/5V selection jumpers ...
@moskovskiy82 My boards.txt specify bootloader.low_fuses=0xF7 as the Arduino being programmed has a crystal on board.
One other thing: I built my own programming board, to support programming ATMega 328p chips and Pro boards in 3.3v@8MHz and 5v@16Mhz... I used a switch and a level converter board to connect the Uno ICSP port to the pins of the Pro.
Uno pins are 5V output, they would burn the input pins of the 3.3v Pro chip, did you account for that ?
Hi, great project. I want one as soon as possible !
Quick silly question: it supports the PA+LNA version of the NRF24L01, right ?
Hello, good work !!! I'll be trying your extension very soon....
Quick question: is it compatible with ATMEGA chips flashed with MYSBootloader pre-1.3a ?
@musthafa : look on the MySensors forum for the MYSController, install it and you can monitor the messages going to the gateway.
Most likely your declaration of the LED output pin on the MySensors arduino is not correct. I still did not use arduinos as actuators with MySensors so I will probably not be of much help here.
Cheers,

Hello, @musthafa .
For installation I used the tutorial at http://www.domoticz.com/wiki/Installing_and_running_Domoticz_on_a_Raspberry_PI. It looks like they changed the tutorial that I used to just a single curl command to install it, although there are complaints about it not working alright. You'll have to try it as I cannot reinstall mine.
Setting up MySensors Gateway is also covered in the wiki : http://www.domoticz.com/wiki/MySensors, very easy. I recommend you go thru the wiki pages as I did, they are a treasure of information, as the manual on www.domoticz.com is outdated though useful.
Good luck.
