Mysensors receives messages but HA does not add entities

taikapanu · December 30, 2019, 7:25pm

Running hassio on ubuntu, mysensors gateway with nodemcu mqtt gateway and having mysensor nodes. hassio version 0.103.3.

I had used this earlier (maybe 2-3 monts ago) and it worked fine. We had some renovation and the nodes were out of use for a long time.

The problem is that mysensor node sends all the info through gateway to HA but HA does not create the entities. I updated the mysensor libraries to 2.3.2 (currently latest) before starting. Maybe it was bad idea. But for now I have no idea what to do next. Deleting the persistence (pickle) file didnt help either. Tried restarting the homeassistant multiple times but didn’t help either.

I checked from the mosquitto broker that the messages are coming in. I could use just mqtt sensors in HA but that is not the idea with mysensors.

Added logging to home assistant and to me it seems fine again. I filtered the below to show only debug entries.

This is my configuration:

mysensors:
  gateways:
    - device: mqtt
      topic_in_prefix: 'mysensors-out'
      topic_out_prefix: 'mysensors-in'
  optimistic: false
  persistence: false #true
  retain: false
  version: '2.3'

This is my arduino code. It works by sending integer 1-3 to HA so I know if the button was one, double or long press. I checked that this type should be supported (and it was working earlier).

I have the same problem with mysensors 2.3.2, did you solve it?

taikapanu · March 18, 2020, 5:54pm

@Jumping
Yes, my problem was that I was looking entities based on child id from present function. It actually worked for me all the time. The entities are created based on what is passed through sketch info.

Entities from my sketch are something like sensor.bedcontrol_3_20

Paste your code if you have some other problem.
