ok, it works after updating to snapshot 2.3
btw: 2.3 requeres esh-io-transport-mqtt
Intallation in karaf console:
feature:install esh-io-transport-mqtt

Hi, I'd like to use the expert mode for viewing the raw messages from the serial gateway.
I've created a new thing and item
Thing:

 mySensorsMessage mySMsg01   [ nodeId=999, childId=999 ]

Item:

String mySMsg01  "MySensorsMessage"   { channel="mysensors:mySensorsMessage:gateway:mySMsg01:mySensorsMessage" }

unfortunately i get no item state :
openhab> smarthome:items list my*
mySMsg01 (Type=StringItem, State=NULL, Label=MySensorsMessage, Category=null)

did I do something wrong here?

Thanks for the suggestions and the change. Maybe it`s not necessary. Today I could observe how the gateway was rebooted by openhab by Shutting down the serial connection.
I have added a "heartbeat" to my gateway, every minute a Serial.writeline "State:OK". Of course an exception appears in the openhab binding... I do not understand why the binding was down: ...Shutting down serial connection!...

Hi, I use OpenHAB 2.1 with the OpenHAB 2.0 Binding on a Raspberry Pi with a serial RS485 gateway connected with a FTDI to USB. Sometimes the gateway freezes (at the moment i don´t know why). After pushing the reset button everything works for the next hours/days.
I´d like to reset the gateway automatically from openhab. Is it possible to reset the Gateway with this binding ? (Send DTR to the FTDI)

is it possible or planned to do a OTA update over RS485 (with external flash using DualOptiBoot) ?
