Hi,
currently I'm using MySensors RPI-Gateway and MyController on the same RPI 2 .
I connected a RFM69 Modul directly to the GPIO of the Pi.
This system works fine for many Years.
Now its time for an upgrade.
I want to use HA and I want to add ZigBee devices. For that I purchased the SonOff Dongle-P and I grapped a RPI 3 for testing HA parallel to my running setup.
Now I want to tidy up. Two RPI for a task, which one alone can do is not the best solution.
The question of all questions is now, how to combine HA, MySensors and Zigbee in the best way?
Option 1 (I have to build the serial GW, and ICs (328P) are rare at the moment):
HassOS + MySensors Serial Gateway (RFM69 connected to an ATMEGA328 connected to the UART-pins from the RPI) + ZigBee USB Stick. (I dont want to use a UART<-> USB chip, when a RPI has native UART on the GPIO)
Option 2 (Favorite, because I dont have to build hardware stuff):
HA running in Docker + MySensors RPI Gatway (RFM69 connected directly to the GPIO) + ZigBee USB Stick. (I found a tutorial for installing HA in Docker with Supervisor)
Are there any pitfalls in the Options above?
Can I use the UART Port "/dev/ttyAMA0" in HassOS?
Are there any limitations in Option2, when HA running in Docker?
I hope someone can give some tips.
Thanks!
Sebastian
