    • RE: Using OpenHAB, any better (looking) alternatives?

      Downloaded Domoticz and had it set up and running in ~15 min on a beaglebone black. Had a little bit of trouble getting my serial gateway to show up. It looks like Domoticz will only look for serial ports in the form of /dev/ttyUSB##. Since I am using the UARTS on the beaglebone it did not work right off. On a hunch I added a symlink:

      sudo ln -s /dev/ttyO4 /dev/ttyUSB2
      

      Worked like a charm. I have been using openhab for a few months and like it, however I was able to do in Domoticz in 15 min what took hours to figure out in openhab, and the graphs looks a lot better in Domoticz also.

    • RE: Temperature Sensor example on Pro Mini ATmega168 not compiling

      @sj44k said:

      Arduino Pro Mini ATmega168

      I have Arduino1.6.1 on my systems and Arduino1.0.6. On 1.0.6 under Tools->Board I have "Arduino Pro or Pro Mini w/ ATmega168". Under Arduino1.6.1 I dont have any boards listed with ATmega168. Is the issue maybe that the ProMini w/ ATMega168 is not supported with the latest version of Arduino? Maybe you need to fall back to the 1.0.x series? Someone who understands all the boards better then me may be able to weigh in.

    • RE: Porting MySensors to work with the RadioHead library

      @kolaf I gave up on getting the MQTT gateway working. I just dont think there is enough memory in my moteino to use the rf69 and the uipethernet library. I was able to get it to work, but it would crash after a few min. When I updated to the latest UIPEthernet library for the 1.5 series, It was too large to upload. So....anyway...can you elaborate on, or point me to the serial-mqtt script you were referring to?
      Thanks!

    • RE: [Tutorial] openHAB with serial gateway

      Great post. Love the hashmap idea, much better then how I was doing it.
      Just wanted to point out that on my beaglebone I had add the serial port parameter to the /etc/init.d/openhab file or to the /usr/share/openhab/start.sh depending on your setup.

      -Dgnu.io.rxtx.SerialPorts=/dev/ttyO4 
      

      Im sure it has been covered elsewhere, but to enable other serial ports on the beaglebone you need to edit the /boot/uEnv.txt file and add the following to the optargs line:

      capemgr.enable_partno=BB-UART4
      
      

      This allows you to hook your arduino to P9_11(RX) and P9_13(TX) pins.

    • RE: Porting MySensors to work with the RadioHead library

      I can also report success and things look pretty good. Had to change the line:

      //MyTransportRFM69 transport;
      MyTransportRFM69 transport(RFM69_FREQUENCY, RFM69_NETWORKID, RF69_SPI_CS, RF69_IRQ_PIN, true, RF69_IRQ_NUM);
      
      

      So that the rfm69HW could be supported.

      Now, on to see if I can get the MQTT working.

    • RE: Porting MySensors to work with the RadioHead library

      @hek
      Thank you for taking a look at the RFM69 code. I downloaded the development branch. While I was able to get it to compile, it does not seem to work, but Im note sure if it is something I am doing.
      Background:
      I had the RFM69 radio working with code from the development branch I downloaded in early Jan. I have a few sensors that and a serial gateway using the Jan code.

      After downloading the latest development branch I tried to update my serial gateway, assuming it would still be able to read the sensors with the older code.

      Observations:
      Currently I cannot see any of the older nodes that I have. I have not tried to update any of the nodes yet, so I don't know if my problem is with the current code or not.
      Currently there is not a myconfig.h option to set the RFM69HW option

      I have been stumbing around the code trying to get a feel for it, and I am not and expert but am wondering if Line 137 of Mysensor.h has anything to do with the problem?

      	MySensor(MyTransport &radio =*new MyTransportNRF24(), MyHw &hw=*new MyHwDriver()
      

      Should there be something that would define MyTransportRFM69 instead?

      Thoughts?

      Would love to get this working and ultimately figure out the MQTT server options.

      Thanks!
