@andriej and @jendrush, I commited some code to my repository for the python gateway with half (oneway) Domoticz integration. It also support Openhab, The Openhab integarion is what I think I will integarate for my self and continue to develop. Domoticz needs provide a proper API that I can use without spending a lot of time trying to figure out how it works. My code is at https://github.com/wbcode/ham. You can try it out if you want. The installation part and configuration is missing a lot of instructions.

Will create my own thread for my gateway code when I have a name for it and I have spent the time to do a proper update to the wiki and better a presenation on what you cand do.

Please note that iit's not a full replacment for a Vera and it's my first time codeing python...

I started to to write on a middleware making it possible to communicate with the MySensor network since I don’t own a Vera and didn’t plan to buy one. This project started long before it actually become MySensor. Due to the few hours I have to spare it have taken sometime.

I currently call the middleware msgw (MySensorGateWay)

The middleware has evolved from being a solution where I had to write all the graphical presentation of the collected data to actually become a some type of middleware.

Today it supports

• bidirectional integration with Openhab
• unidirectional integration with Domoticz
• storing values in rrd files. You have to create your own rrd files.
• assigning Radio IDs

I spend the time integrating deeper to Openhab since that is what I plan to have as a frontend GUI. I will be fairly easy to add other integrations.

The middleware is written in python and runs on a Raspberry connected to a Arduino UNO using usb.

I’m currently running some battery test for my network, not turning out to be what I hoped for. Currently no battery driven sensor sensor have survived a week.

I implemented RGB control from Openhab to a sensor (I call it a sensor, should maybe call it a node). By sending the RGB hex code as V_IR_SEND command to the sensor.

I also implemented an RFID tag reader. that reads the ID of the fob and sends it to the gateway. Here I use the type V_IR_RECEIVE

A combination node using both RFID and RGB can be found at https://github.com/wbcode/ham/blob/master/arduino/MySensorRFIDandRGB/RGBandRFID/RGBandRFID.ino

For fun or testing purpose I used to fobs to control a relay switch. Depending on which fob were used. Openhub (it’s called a rule in openhab) sent a on or off to the relay through the mygm..

rule RFID1
when Item Info_Text_FV_Mancave changed 
then
	switch (Info_Text_FV_Mancave.state) {
		case 'CD59469F' : {say("Card")
						  sendCommand(Relay1_FV_Mancave,ON)
						  }
		case '9DF07DCC' : { say("Keyring")
						  sendCommand(Relay1_FV_Mancave,OFF)
						  }
	}
end    

My goal is to monitor and automate my house. It will take a long time to get there since I only have a few hour now and then to work on the project. The msgw will only be a middleware that integrates between the sensor network and a GUI.

All the code I have written can be found on github: https://github.com/wbcode/ham

Some screenshots from the development of msgw as I call it now.

Debug functions and back when I still didn’t plan to integrate it to a GUI frontend.

Also old and will be modified to be proxy in through openhab. I want to have “map representing” of the current “now” status of all my sensors. The red over the WC is a motion sensor that have been triggered.
