Just wondering, can https://github.com/mycontroller-org/serial2mqtt be used with mycontroller on the same my-sensors gateway? I presume only one thread can read the serial data--but would mycontroller be able to accept the serial data published to mqtt by the serial2mqtt adapter?

On the other hand, would mycontroller be able to use mqtt to send messages (including firmware updates) via mqtt via serial2mqtt to the serial gateway?

it seems that adding the dist project to the list of project dependencies cleared the problem with loading mc_locale:

I'm trying to debug StartApp in eclipse. Here's a snap of the config

Cannot find mc_locale stuff. If I build a distribution and run from there, it works OK. Where are the mc_locale items? Can I add a configuration property to point to them?

It fails with

@jkandasa is there a way in myc to connect a serial gateway to an mqtt gateway, such that a message arriving on the serial interface could be republished to the mqtt interface?

Yes. I currently have a serial gateway.
I like the functionality of mycontroller.org, but I like the automation/rules engine/extensibility of openhab.

I'd like to expose the mysensors data to other systems like openhab using mqtt.

I'm open to other ways of doing it, this is just what occurred to me first.

Please correct me if I'm wrong...
I assume that currently mycontroller.org does not support publishing mysensors messages to mqtt.

I would be willing to contribute code to provide this functionality. I was reading thru and wondered if adding a new Operation would be the best way.

If you have any pointers, I'd be glad to hear them.
Thanks
