so i took a good look but mostly i found your recommendation for the ebyte modules.
are we talking about this one? https://it.aliexpress.com/item/CDEBYTE-2PCS-Lot-E01-ML01D-Wireless-Transceiver-For-Arduino-nRF24L01-2-4GHz-Antenna-Module-For-Microcontroll/32803704874.html?aff_platform=aaf&cpt=1542663609771&sk=cMM8rUbm&aff_trace_key=1fc52e06d7a94d0096aabebefb8bb607-1542663609771-06798-cMM8rUbm&terminal_id=f538d8e92d1f481098e725b32d788ce6

cd-ebyte?
i won't need a stabiliser for the Sensebender Micro board, right? on every build i found a radio connected directly mounted on the board...

Sorry for the bis confusion...

thanks @alowhum !
so i'll just need 1 (one) like this for my gateway http://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/c4CU7enO ?
could you post (pm) me an example for a "red eByte module" (your link for "nano wireless board" leads to searchpage for "nrf24l01 ebyte" - but they are all green...)? i usually have to wait ~60 days until i get my aliexpress orderer items, so i really would like to get the "right one" with my first order...

and what's up with the nano wireless board?

Hello!
i was finally able to set up the gateway and some Sensebender Micro. But as i moved the nodes to different rooms i noticed that the gateway has very poor coverage :(
i used a Raspberry (1) with these components:
https://it.gearbest.com/transmitters-receivers-module/pp_453011.html
https://www.amazon.it/dp/B016BAPC0K/ref=pe_386201_41597321_TE_item

The Sensebender Micro is equipped with only NRF24L01 Radio.

What could i do to improve the gateways range? would NRF24L01 modules with antennas (f.e.: these) perform better or should i go with RFM69?

cheers!
Peter

alright! now with new programmer a was able to upload the "standard" sketch to my sensebender micro and the gateway even gets "something":

is this right? and if so, how can i translate all this stuff? :eye:

ohhhhhhh. this makes sense:

[20:17:18] openhabian@openHABianPi:~$ mosquitto_sub -t mysensors-out/#
22.3
61

cool cool. now i just have to figure out how to define my items on the openhab part!
cheers

oh boi. had to connect the radio to the board mentioned in the opening post:

and connect the other boards to my raspberry... now it seems to work! unfortunately i can't test it because i'm not able to upload anything to my Sensebender Micro boards. now i'm waiting for my new ftdi programmer :rage:

here's the wiring. i checked 3 times and now i rewired again with another nrf24 module - error remains the same:

Hello!
I just tried to set up a raspberry gateway according to this https://www.mysensors.org/build/raspberry .
(on raspberry1). everything went smooth, but somehow it's not working:

pi@MysensorPi:~/MySensors $ ./configure --my-gateway=mqtt --my-controller-ip-address=127.0.0.1 --my-mqtt-publish-topic-prefix=mysensors-out --my-mqtt-subscribe-topic-prefix=mysensors-in --my-mqtt-client-id=mygateway1

so now on i should ask here =)
i used one of these radios (recomendation from @gohan in 2017 :)): https://gearbest.com/transmitters-receivers-module/pp_453011.html and connected it accordingly (except i used 5v pin for VCC)
first of all i don't understand why it's not working when there were just top c&p a few lines?

an then i'm not really sure in general what i need to do. what i WANT to do:
sensors > raspberry pi gateway > openhab controller
mosquitto is running on my openhab installation, so mqtt would be ok. i searched for a while, but i couldn't find anything noob-proved...

okay :(
i'll take a look around, hopefully i can get a few somewhere.
does the log indicate that there's a problem with radio? (length?)

the gateway "log" is some posts above.

should i provide another log?

i didn't use any capacitors, neither gateway, nor node.
here isn't anything regarding capacitors.
and [here](lhttps://www.mysensors.org/build/raspberry under section "NRF24L01+ Radio" it only says "If you are using the nrf24 PA/LNA version you need to use a 5V->3.3V regulator.", but i'm using these so i thought it's ok without using regulators.
or is a regulator something different than a capacitor?

ok, thought this would be auto assigned: "Define a static node address, remove if you want auto address assignment"
new debug: everything ok with this sensor?
debug

Next Stop Gateway? Should i just try another radio?

@gohan said in [SOLVED] OH2 - Mosquito - Raspi Mysensors Gateway:

you need to install library for SI7021

took libraries from here: https://github.com/mysensors/MySensorsArduinoExamples
will investigate further.

i think i got the sensor up and running and it can't find a gateway?

debug

i found the board but i don't get how to load the sketch ON the board :/
first thought was to c&p the code from https://github.com/mysensors/SensebenderMicro/tree/master/Arduino/SensebenderMicro

fatal error: SI7021.h: No such file or directory

second thought was to look for an example sketch. no luck.

i have other radios. but i'd really love to upload the (right) sketch first... just... how?

@hek said in [SOLVED] OH2 - Mosquito - Raspi Mysensors Gateway:

Did you decoupling capacitor on gateway? Do you have more radios to test with in the case one is broken?

did i what exactly?
all i can say that i wired the gateway with one of the specified NRF24L01+ Radios.
Same radio on sensebender.

what's next? i tried to upload the sensebender micro sketch (couldn't find it in the lib) but had several errors. couldn't find a beginner-beginner tutorial on how to upload a first sketch.
Generally this output points to an error with gateway or with sensor?

alright! today (finally!) i got my sensebender micro. they should send something right away, right?
so i plugged one in and got this on the gateway:

pi@raspgateway:~/MySensors $ sudo ./bin/mysgw -d                                                                                  mysgw: Starting gateway...

does this mean anything? i don't get it at all...

i'm a simple man, i do what the tutorials says =)
Thank you very much!

no - but i can try!
i'll just have to run

make

and

sudo make install

again, right?

anybody? :(

Hello!
While i'm waiting for my hardware (ordered a couple Sensebender Micro) i tried to set up Controller and Gateway.
I followed the instructions from here here and configured with

./configure --my-gateway=mqtt --my-controller-ip-address=192.168.178.160 --my-mqtt-publish-topic-prefix=mysensors-out --my-mqtt-subscribe-topic-prefix=mysensors-in --my-mqtt-client-id=mygateway1

But the Gateway doesn't connect to the controller:

pi@raspgateway:~/MySensors $ sudo mysgw -d
mysgw: Starting gateway...
mysgw: Protocol version - 2.1.1
mysgw: MCO:BGN:INIT GW,CP=RNNG---,VER=2.1.1
mysgw: TSF:LRT:OK
mysgw: TSM:INIT
mysgw: TSF:WUR:MS=0
mysgw: TSM:INIT:TSP OK
mysgw: TSM:INIT:GW MODE
mysgw: TSM:READY:ID=0,PAR=0,DIS=0
mysgw: MCO:REG:NOT NEEDED
mysgw: Listening for connections on 0.0.0.0:5003
mysgw: MCO:BGN:STP
mysgw: MCO:BGN:INIT OK,TSP=1
...

Then nothing more follows...

On openhabian (Raspberry) i installed the MQTT Binding (via OH2 paperUI) and Mosquitto (via openhabian config tool).
What am i missing? :/

Thanks in advance!
Narf!

your link to "this article" seems to be broken?
Opening the gate's hardware isn't really a option, BUT! there is the possibilty to give a open/close command via "potential free contact" (atleast my gate-guy says so :no_mouth: ).
there are 2 inputs, 1 for "open", 1 for "close". Would it be easier to control the gate with those contacts?
