Thanks frits ... my issue is trying to get the arduino or ftdi adapter to talk at 115200 -
Either the FTDI or arduino promini gateway is talking at 57600 so the webthings mysensors adapter is hardcoded at 115200.

I have set #define MY_BAUD_RATE 115200 in the gateway with no joy, I even tried a Seral.begin(115200) in setup(). So Im thinking my FTDI is fixed on 57600 no matter what I send to it

My attempts at customising the python code in the adapter to change to 57600 has been tricky due to the clash of pyserial and serial modules in a webthings docker image etc etc....

Currently running a pro mini as the gateway as the knockoff nano CH340 couldnt achieve better comms better than 19200.. I have ordered another nano perhaps the hardware will resolve it all - fingers crossed.

Mysensors is a great alternative to the commercial networks or even LoraWan as the data stays where it should.

The kind people at Candle have updated the adapter to include a parameter for baud rate. V1.2.0. It should automatically update :). I'll test and report back.

@Westie Testing using a docker image of the gateway... Update looking good - I have dropped the baud rate down to something more compatible with my clone nano.
I found a useful tool to check the incoming serial from a Python point of view (not running the adapter when I do it) - python3 -m serial.tools.miniterm --parity N /dev/ttyUSB0 19200. This prints out the messages from the Serial Gateway in nice text when the speed is correct.

@rmalbers Im using webthings controller. It works well and has a good adapter to MySensors written by Candle. The controller is very stable. Im using adapters like mail and kafka as well as webthings adapter for a esp sensor. Seems to have adapters for everything as the framework is easy to code for.

Graphing isnt great. I use an adpter to kafka to stream to Node Red. I really like the secure proxy service, so I can acess from anywhere and not have to do weird activities with my firewall. Data stays in my local network.

I do have the similar concerns re lack of activity on the project. I'm hanging in there as i have invested so much time..
