Anyone have a MySensors serial gateway working with Hass.io?

I’ve had MySensors working reliably via the SenseBender Serial Gateway.

I recently upgraded from Hassbian to Hass.io and I’m having trouble. I’m NOT convinced the upgrade is the problem.

Here is my configuration.yaml entry:

mysensors:
  gateways:
    - device: '/dev/ttyACM1'
      persistence_file: '/config/mysensors_433.json'
      baud_rate: 38400
  optimistic: false
  persistence: true
  retain: true
  version: 2.0

I did NOT migrate over my mysensors_433.json.

I can tell Hass.io sees the MySensors gateway, but it auto generated a new mysensors_433.json file in config.

Here’s the contents of the new /config/mysensors_433.json file.

{“0”: {“sensor_id”: 0, “children”: {}, “type”: 18, “sketch_name”: null, “sketch_version”: null, “_battery_level”: 0, “protocol_version”: “2.1.1”}

I can’t get Hass.io to pickup the children. I’ve manually triggered the node sensors, so I know they’ve communicated.

If I remove the gateway from the rpi, plug it into my mac, run the Arduinio IDE → Serial Port Monitor, I can see the gateway pick up the children nodes, handshake and register the children appropriately.

Any ideas? I suspect I’m overlooking something simple. Thanks!

Hi,

Yes, I just got this working. Assuming you only have one USB device, it should be /dev/ttyUSB0. You can double-check if you need to with the SSH plugin. Did you copy over your old persistence file? If so, all your existing MySensors devices should carry over as well. If not, remember you need them to send data to HA before they will ever be recognized. Ex. A relay would need to be tripped, and that data sent to the MySensors gateway.

Here is my working config file. I did a change from a Ethernet gateway, which is why there are commented (#) out lines. Also make sure you have your baud rate set right; 38400 is the slowest one, and most installs of MySensors use 115200 as standard.

#MySensors Gateways
mysensors:
  gateways:
#     - device: '192.168.86.106'
#       persistence_file: '/home/homeassistant/.homeassistant/mysensors.json'
#       tcp_port: 5003
     - device: '/dev/ttyUSB0'
       persistence_file: '/config/mysensors.json'
       baud_rate: 115200
  persistence: true
  version: 2.0

Hi
I have a problem. I buy Sensbender Gateway and compile it with radio RFM69HW and write… This is my sketch:

/**
* The MySensors Arduino library handles the wireless radio link and protocol
* between your home built sensors/actuators and HA controller of choice.
* The sensors forms a self healing radio network with optional repeaters. Each
* repeater and gateway builds a routing tables in EEPROM which keeps track of the
* network topology allowing messages to be routed to nodes.

*******************************
*
* DESCRIPTION
* The ArduinoGateway prints data received from sensors on the serial link.
* The gateway accepts input on serial which will be sent out on radio network.
*
* This GW code is designed for Sensebender GateWay / (Arduino Zero variant)
*
* Wire connections (OPTIONAL):
* - Inclusion button should be connected to SW2
*
* LEDs on board (default assignments):
* - Orange: USB RX/TX - Blink when receiving / transmitting on USB CDC device
* - Yellow: RX  - Blink fast on radio message received. In inclusion mode will blink fast only on presentation received
* - Green : TX  - Blink fast on radio message transmitted. In inclusion mode will blink slowly
* - Red   : ERR - Fast blink on error during transmission error or receive crc error
* - Blue  : free - (use with LED_BLUE macro)
*

On serial port monitor show me this:

I connect it to my raspberry pi 4 with Hass.io image 3.3. Then in configuration add it:

mysensors:
gateways:
- device: '/dev/ttyACM0'
persistence_file: '/config/mysensors.json'
baud_rate: 38400
optimistic: false
persistence: true
version: '2.2'

and still in log has info:

Gateway /dev/ttyACM0 not ready after 15.0 secs so continuing with setup
20:56 components/mysensors/gateway.py (WARNING)

In hardware on hassio show this:

/dev/ttyACM0
/dev/serial/by-id/usb-MySensors.org_Sensebender_GW_6A153443514D355934202020FF10182D-if00
/dev/ttyAMA0

Please help me what i do wrong…and how resolved this problem.

Did you try the other hardware devices eg /dev/serial/by-id/XXXXXXX and specify that in the mysensors config section?
