@TheoL Thanks for responding and sorry for my late reply. I finally got an Arduino Nano working as a gateway with RFM69. It required new/different logic converters as the ones I had apparently were not working correctly. I can give the RFM69 3.3V power from the Nano, but as the Nano has 5V logic and the RFM69 cannot handle 5V logic as input (NSS, SCK, MOSI) , the logic converters are needed to protect the RFM69 module as also stated in the MySensors radio guide. I must say that using NRF24 was much easier than using RFM69, but I will stick with RFM69 (433 MHz) for range reasons.

@scalz Thanks.

@Boots33 Thanks a lot for the quick response. I now have my Nano running as a serial gateway and it is connected via a USB cable directly to my controller (Raspberry Pi 4 running Home Assistant / Hass.io). I added a local motion sensor to the Nano gateway HW and pasted the mysensors MotionSensor example code to the setup(), presentation() and loop() functions as well as to the definitions in the top of the GatewaySerial example code. I disabled the radio definitions as I currently have no radio capability in my gateway (not sure if this was necessary). In Home Assistant / Hass.io I updated the configuration.yaml with the following text (as described on the Home Assistant integration help): mysensors: gateways: - device: '/dev/ttyUSB0' And it works In Home Assistant Developer Tools under States I can now see my motion sensor go on and off by the flick of my hand. I had expected a bit more bumps on the road just to get this far, but wow - I am obviously walking in the foot prints of people who have worked hard to make it easy for the rest of us. I am sure I will hit bumps on the way when the radios have to send results to the gateway (thick concrete walls with lots of steel), but for now I will enjoy this big success. Thanks again Boots33
