@Yveaux & @mfalkvidd,

I can't help but make it complicated, I'm descended from Germans!

Aber das Traue ich dir.

@mfalkvidd

Thank you for answering, and helping to solve. Having the radio module plugged, it worked.

How to define it as a dhcp client instead of setting a fixed ip address, having only the mac address defined?

Thx in advance!

Hi all,

i found this link:

https://medium.com/@alencarrebeca/working-with-nrf24l01-communicating-with-nrf24l01-pa-na-b1466b4f3223

It seams to explain some of the problems i'm having.

Can anyone confirm this?

Thank you in advance.

@monte thx for your answer.

which kind of gateway do you have? serial, rj45 or wifi?

the problem i had with all 4 NRF24L01 PA LNA i have.

@pw44 - well, today i dismantled both gateways and built the ESP8266 (Wemos D1 mini) with NRF24L01+ (board antenna) and a sensor (door) with a nano v3 with NRF24L01+ (board antenna).

working with no problem until now.

seams that NRF24L01+ (board antenna) to NRF24L01+ PA LNA does not work as expected......

Will continue testing and post the results.

Hi All,

after building the gateway with the w5100 shield + Uno R3 + NRF24L01, it starts, i can telnet to it, it responds.

Power supply is a 9V 1A feeding the Uno

After a while, it becomes unresponsive, telnet does not work, but it responds to pings.

Also extended with the leds for error, tx and rx, but these does not work.

Any hint what can be happening?

Thx in advance.

@TRS-80 Thank you for your kind answer. WIll wait.

HI All!

i'm struggling to build the ethernet gateway, using the arduino nano v3.0, nrf24l01 and enc28j60.

what i'm facing:

• fixed ip works, dhcp (commenting out the fixed ip) causes compilation error (arduino IDE)
• having usb cable plugged to nano v3.0 to computer and power supply connected ping works.
• disconnecting the usb cable, ping stops (power supply and ethernet connected)

Anyone have it working?
What can you tell me about?
Which problems are knowns?
Is it reliable to be in production (work as expected, without extensive maintenence due errors, etc)?

Those questions refers to my intention to have it working with minimal intervention once installed and configured, and i don't want to start a learning curve to spend lot of time supporting it.

Thx for all help you may provide.

i really can't figure what is going on. with usb connected, i can ping to gateway, with usb disconnected, ping stops. yes, i have a 2 A power supply delivering 3,3 V to nano v3, rf42 and ens28j60 and ethernet cable on rj45.

does anyone have a reliable gateway working able to share the knowledge with me?

i built the ethernet gateway with the ENC28J60 module, arduino nano v3.0 and RF24 radio, using this guide and there are three problems which i'm not being able to solve (i used the https://github.com/mysensors/MySensorsArduinoExamples/tree/master/libraries/UIPEthernet, as suggested).

• fixed ip, connected to power supply, ethernet cable and usb - ping works, but HA does not "sees"
• fixed ip, connected to power supply, ethernet cable but no usb - ping does not works ????
• commented ip definition, to enable dchp - does not work.
  seams the instructions are outdated -
  i really need help to make it work.
  thx
