Etched and soldered a new gateway after the original one I had failed.

Hi everybody,

Having a weird issue with my WiFi gateway. My nodes get FPAR:NO REPLY consistently when they start up. If i use another gateway, they work immediately.

If I switch gateways to the WiFi after the nodes have a parent and are asleep, it works fine. I had it run like that the whole weekend with no issues so I doubt it's a radio problem.
Unfortunately when I built the gateway, I didn't have an 8pin DIL socket so I had to solder the radio in place, making testing out with another very difficult.

I've tried with vesion 2.3.1 as well as the dev branch from github.

Background
This Gateway has been working for over a year with a temperature sensor node on a ATMEGA168 Seeduino arduino board. Both were running MySensors 2.1.1.
I decided to replace the arduino with a dedicated board I made with a ATMEGA328 running at 8Mhz using the MYSBootloader.
After soldering up the board, I loaded the sketch with MySensors 2.3.1 and tested with an Ethernet Gateway on my Arduino Duemilanove.
When it worked fine for a couple of days, I upgraded the Wifi gateway to 2.3.1 as well.

Original node connected to the Wifi gateway and ran fo another few days while I made a case for the new node.

When I switched the nodes, the new one would not connect. Power cycled both but no dice. Both are located in awkward positions so I removed them, flased each with the Clear EEPROM sketch and reloaded firmware but still no connection.
Also tried with a 16Mhz board with MYSBootloader because I didn't solder headers to the 8Mhz board for serial and it became a pain to pull the chip out to flash.

My setup:
Wifi Gateway:
ESP8266 12-E with a NRF24L2401+
5v power supply with a HT7833 on the ESP8266 with a 100 nF Bypass across VCC and Gnd.
AMS1117 on the NRF24L01+ with a 4.7uF Electrolytical Bypass Cap (Added a 100uF as well in testing while trying to debug)

DS18B20 Temperature Node
ATMEGA328 with MYSBootlader @ 8Mhz internal powered with a 5v Regulated Wall Wart power supply.
AMS1117 regulator for the NRF24L01+ with 47uF Bypass Capacitor.

Second test node
ATMEGA328 with MYSBootlader @ 16Mhz crystal oscillator powered with a 5v Regulated power bank.
AMS1117 regulator for the NRF24L01+ with 47uF Bypass Capacitor.

@mfalkvidd Turns out I didn't completely destroy my second ESP8266.
Breadboarded a new gateway and it works fine. So I guess the radio is shot.

Busy working up a much neater PCB with replaceable components to etch.
Thanks for your help.

mcchots

Etched and soldered a new gateway after the original one I had failed.

From my limited use with sensors other then temperature, sometimes items don't appear in the GUI on Home Assistant until they send some data.

Also check in the States section of Developer Tools at what data HA has acquired from your sensor.

Beyond that, you might have to ask on the Home Assistant forums.

Are you using a relatively recent build of Home Assistant?

Check in the Unused Entities section for your sensor. I think home assistant no longer adds discovered devices to the front-end by default.

@mfalkvidd Thanks. While trying to debug this, I've seen a number of posts where somebody asks for logs or more details from the OP. Thought I'd save some time.

What I don't get is that it only fails to sent the FPAR response. Although maybe it's not sending any data at all, only receiving.
Do gateways usually send any data or ack to a node or just receive and forward?

I have noticed that it also does not seem to be receiving the bootloader firmware requests on node startup either.

This is a picture of my gateway. Since replacing the radio is so difficult, I'll probably have to build a new one. Too bad i damaged my backup ESP while trying to debug this on a breadboard.

Any recommendations on placement of the two modules?
