@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!
