@hek I am using Stable ESP8266 version 2.0.0 from stable release

@tbowmo May you please share your node-red set up by exporting your setup as flow? If feasible for you

I tried to make MQTT client gateway but it is giving following error while compiling

C:\Users\Ahmed\AppData\Local\Temp\build8359488613260197686.tmp/arduino.ar(core_esp8266_postmortem.c.o): In function `abort':

Any suggestions @hek ?

Hi.
I am having an issue with my ESP8266 gateway. I have tried all versions of mysensors including developmental versions, but my esp8266 does not show any serial debug, nor it gets connected to my router. I also enabled debug in configuration file. When I install AT firmware, it replies to AT command, it also works with nodemcu firmware, but it does not respond with Arduino firmware. May someone help me?

And how did you configure domoticz? Did you use "Mysensors gateway with lan interface" type in hardware section or anything else? And may you send me the library files you used (I mean that complete zip which worked for you).

I am using mysensor 1.5.1 ESP8266 mysensor gateway. But It is not starting up. I am using 2A power supply. Here is the log.

@luisgcu I am also new to this kind of stuff. I tried Domoticz but failed to get my ESP8266 gateway working. May you share your setup? Did you use Mysensors library or lua scripts?

@AWI This code runs continuously for 5 seconds in order to get a stable reading of light using LDR, which is used to set night mode on and off.

Here is my sketch if someone finds it useful. It uses LDR to set night mode in low light conditions and vice versa, door reed switch and PIR sensor to turn ac or dc lights with the help of two channel relay and EasyIOT as server. Interrupts perform the functions of turning lights on and off while timer wake up decides the night mode implementation. Moreover, sensor node sleeps most of its time to conserve the battery.

I have tried it with single interrupt and It is working good so far on my mysensors 1.4 version. In case of interrupt

wake = gw.sleep(INTERRUPT,FALLING, SLEEP_TIME);

I use wake value (wake == 1) for function related to interrupt and use else condition for function related to timer wake up.

@martinhjelmare Thank you so much buddy for the help. I have not tested it yet. Can I use it with mysensors 1.4 version? Because I am using easyiot as controller and it uses 1.4 version.

Hi. I have a node which sleeps most of the time and It has interrupt function enabled. But I want to perform a specific function when Node awake from sleep through interrupt pin 2, not the loop and again it should go to sleep using gw.sleep command. Is it possible to perform that specific function on an interrupt?

https://www.arduino.cc/en/Reference/AttachInterrupt describes what I need but I want to implement sleep function of mysensors also.

May someone please help me?

I have installed Domoticz on my RPi and added a hardware Mysensors Gateway with LAN interface with remote address i.e. 192.168.0.31 in my case and port 1883. Here is Domoticz log

2015-10-17 12:50:26.675  Hardware Monitor: Fetching data (System sensors)

2015-10-17 12:50:31.590  Error: TCP: Error: Connection refused

I don't have mosquitto installed in my Rpi.

May someone suggest me any solution.

@hek Thanks for the code. I have few questions in my mind. Firstly do I just have to upload this ESP8266MQTTClient.ino sketch on esp8266 12-E model? or does it needs anything to add in the sketch except SSID and password? I want to use ESP-8266-E and NRF24L01+ as gateway for openhab. If it is possible then, do I have to adopt the same procedure for configuring openhab as ethernet gateway? Secondly, Can I make two gateways using this sketch, is this possible? As I want to add sensors which are 500 meters away at my farmhouse.

@Yveaux. I tried a lot but could not found any way how to use your bridge. How to run this bridge on rpi? May you please give me hints?

Hi.

I want to increase the range of my existing EasyIOT server. I have wifi setup from my home to my farm using TP-Link 5210 cpe. Can I use ESP-8266 12E and NRF24L01+ as a repeater to my existing EasyIOT server which will be installed on my farm and will help to connect NRF24L01+ based sensor nodes installed on my farm to raspberry pi EasyIOT server installed in my home. Is this possible?

Idea came to me through Esp8266 Gateway example on forum.mysensors.org/topic/1870/esp8266-w...y-port-for-mysensors.

@Yveaux, How to implement your bridge? Is there any wiki stuff related to your bridge?

Hi Friends,

I want to setup openhab using my esp-8266 12E as gateway as described in http://forum.mysensors.org/topic/1870/esp8266-wifi-gateway-port-for-mysensors. May someone help me to accomplish this task?

I am searching on google since a week. I have installed openhab and mosquitto on my raspberry pi. ESP-8266 gateway is also ready. Openhab Demo is also working.

As far as I understand, I have to add following lines to openhab.cfg file;

mqtt:broker.url=tcp://192.168.0.31:5003
mqtt:broker.clientId=openhab

192.168.0.31 is the static address I have assigned to my esp-8266 12E through router. 5003 is the port defined in Esp8266Gateway sketch.

Please help me if I have something missing in my setup.

I have few confusions, How openhab will understand the information sent by sensor node? Will it assign ID to my sensors or I have to define the id in gw.begin()? If so then give me an example for this purpose.

Sorry When I investigate the wiring throughly, MOSI and MISO was interchanged. Now it has started working but error has changed

I obtained the code for gateway & MySensors from MySensors repository on github.
what would be the problem now?

I have checked all the wires and every thing is according to as par advised. I am using 2 separate 3.3 v voltage regulator to power up ESP-8266 12E and nrf24L01+ having common ground, using ESP-8266 breakout board without voltage regulator and nrf24l01+ breakout board with 3.3 v regulator powered by 5v supply.

GPIO15 connected via 10K pulldown resistor to GND and also connected with CSN of nrf24l016, is this connection correct?

Moreover, I am using USB to TTL adapter in place of FTDI and TX of ESP-8266 is connected with RX of TTL serial adapter and vice versa, GND of TTL serial adapter is also connected common GND. It's all the difference from your mentioned procedure.

Hi Friends

I am having an issue with my NRF24L01+. If I change gw.begin() to anything like below,

gw.begin(incomingMessage, 0, true, 0);

I get an error "radio init fail"

And I am now trying ESP-8266 12E module along with nrf24L01+ (genuine) transceiver to built wifi gateway, which I'll later use as gateway for openhab. I am having a similar issue, Here is the log I get through serial monitor.

This information runs in a loop again and again. I am using latest library from https://github.com/mysensors/Arduino/tree/master without editing the sample Esp8266Gateway sktech except user name and password. I have followed the connection instruction specified in sample sketch and sketch was successfully uploaded. I am using 101nf capacitors and 10K resistances as specified by https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JA-0hs5rpMY.
Everything is working fine except that error. May anyone help me out?
