Iām sorry. I donāt mean to rush anything. But my HM-10 module just arrived. May I know how is it coming? Thanks in advance.
Did you try first to detect beacons with the gateway without happybubbles presence server ?

OK no problem. will try it in next few days.
is there any progress
This question is for @1technophile.
I finally have time to sit down and start rebuild a new gateway using OpenMQTTGateway on NodeMCU with the following modulesā¦
- 433Mhz Receiver/Transmitter
- DHT22 temperature/humidity sensor
- BH1750 light sensor
- HM-10 BLE Bluetooth module
I must say Iām impress with the progress of this project. I started with 433toMQTTto433 few months back and oh boy how much it has changed! Good job @1technophile!
Anyway, I hit a hiccup in setting up the gateway. When I verify the sketch, I received this errorā¦

Any idea what went wrong?
UPDATE: OK. I manage to fix this by updating the Arduino IDE to the latest version. After I upload it to my NodeMCU and open up serial monitor, all I see isā¦

it keeps on repeating every few seconds. Iām whatās wrong?
Hello,
Thanks @masterkenobi, we are having more contributors and people to answer questions on this project what make it progressing faster.
I m happy that one of the first user measure the progress !
Regarding your issue you could try to update your ide to 1.8.4 and use nodemcu v1 as a board.
yes. i have updated my IDE to 1.8.4 and selected nodemcu v1 as the board. but I all I see is this in my serial monitorā¦

Did you update the esp8266 boards to 2.3.0 version in arduino ide -> board manager
Yes I haveā¦
By the way, this is what I have selectedā¦
Board: NodeMCU 1.0 (ESP-12E Module)
CPU Frequency: 80 MHz
Flash Size: 4M (3M SPIFFS)
Upload Speed: 115200
Not sure they are correct or not.
The issue is with v0.4 beta ?
sorry. what are you referring to? the Arduino IDE?
Anyway, I have uninstalled Arduino 1.8.4 and installed 1.8.1. Then I put all the libraries from https://github.com/1technophile/OpenMQTTGateway/tree/master/libraries to C:\Users<user>\Documents\Arduino\libraries. This is how I do itā¦
- I āDownload ZIPā in Github for each libraries and save it to C:\Users<user>\Documents\Arduino\libraries.
- I unzip each zip files.
- Then I renamed the folder name by removing any underscore, dash and the long random string at the back. For example;
Adafruit_Sensor-e985f2253a687ef377cde3dcfb1f788830d1bc09renamed toAdafruitSensor.
Then I modify the User_config.h as suchā¦
- Uncomment
#define I2C_Wiring - Comment
//#define Classic_Wiring - Set my MQTT Parameters definitions
- Define network parameters and OTA parameters.
- Comment the following linesā¦
//#ifdef RFM69_Wiring
//#define ZgatewayRFM69
//#include "config_RFM69.h"
//#endif
//#define ZgatewayIR
//#include "config_IR.h"
//#define ZsensorBME280
//#include "config_BME280.h"
In OpenMQTTGateway.ino, I had to remove && client.subscribe(subjectMultiGTWIR) on line 88 because it is throwing error. Iām not using any IR module for this gateway.
Other changes I made are to config_BH1750.h, config_BT.h and config_DHT.h. I just modify the MQTT topics to make sure they are unique for each gateways.
Thatās all I have done on the software side. Do you think this error is due to hardware or wiring issue?
I think I know why Iām receiving this error. I selected the wrong upload speed. The correct speed I should select is 9600. However, when I upload the sketch, I receive errorā¦
The pain!
When I verify the sketch, I received no error. I can upload other sketches without any error too. Any idea?
Try to upload without nothing connected maybe
Iām talking about the OpenMQTTGateway version, did you downloaded this one:
After multiple trial and errors, I manage to upload without BH1750 and using classic wiring. But serial monitor still shows the same error. It got connected for awhile but then disconnected again with the same error came up.
I didnāt know I can use different version from Releases Ā· 1technophile/OpenMQTTGateway Ā· GitHub . I downloaded from hereā¦
Still got a lot to learn on Github,
Anyway, I have reuploaded the sketch using v0.3.1 but still received the same error. I am wondering have I damaged my NodeMCU when I connected BH1750 to Vin (5V) on NodeMCU as per advice from @syssi (I just remember this). I going to get a replacement NodeMCU to try again.
UPDATE: I used v0.1 which is basically the same version with the one I used on the first gateway using the same wiring and still receive the same error.
Seems not related to the software, could you post a photo of the nodemcu and a screenshots of the parameters used for compilation
I got my replacement NodeMCU.
These are my results:
- OpenMQTTGateway v0.1 + RF -> Success
- OpenMQTTGateway v0.3.1 + RF -> Success
- OpenMQTTGateway v0.3.1 + RF + DHT -> Success
- OpenMQTTGateway v0.3.1 + RF + DHT + BT -> Success
- OpenMQTTGateway v0.4-beta + RF + DHT + BT (Classic Wiring) -> Success
- OpenMQTTGateway v0.4-beta + RF + DHT + BT + BH1750 (VCC on BH1750 connect to 3V3 on NodeMCU. I2C Wiring) -> Success (but received this error in Serial Monitor: Failed to read from LightSensor BH1750!)
I can conclude that the earlier NodeMCU is damaged. By what? I am not sure. Perhaps by connecting BH1750 VCC to NodeMCU Vin (5V). Can someone confirm this?
By the way, I am not receiving anything on this MQTT topic as well; home/BTtoMQTT/. Maybe its due to the HM-10 firmware issue. Will troubleshoot it next time. After 4 days of troubleshooting, I am glad I got this far.

Hi,
When I first tried the bluetooth shield, the openmqttgateway was able to find it, but the scan didnt report anything. I disconected the shield from nodemcu (wemos d1 mini for me) and connected it diretcly to the computer with a FTDI adapter and then tried to scan manually with AT commands. Got it working this way. When I reconnected the shield to the wemos, it simply worked. Of course the whole history is bigger than that, because somewhere in the middle (while playing with AT commands i did something wrong and had to reflash it). But, Iām sure that i saw the HM-10 connected and nothing scanned. My guess is that you need some AT command to put the HM-10 in scan mode, and maybe this is missing. @1technophile is this possible?
