      After this error all data from nodes stops being displayed on the graphs etc, so guess it affects the GW somehow. I believe that all data from mcagent was still working.

      A reboot didn't cure it for more than a few minutes (all nodes seem to work but then after 1 or 2 data packets stop functioning again). - I will try a reinstall from scratch again tonight or tomorrow.

      Thanks.

        @skywatch I guess you are using NRF24L01 directly with PI?

        @Tag Are you using NRF24L01 directly with PI? Do you see any issue?

          I ran tail -f /var/log/syslog and no data is getting through the gateway, hope this helps.

          Yes NRF attached directly to the pi as shown in the mysensors build page.

            What really puzzles me is how it worked for over a week without issue and then suddenly this.

            Any idea what triggers this to happen?

              I use mycontroller with HTTP and not HTTP and with esp8266 mqtt-gateway .. no problem so far with Final 1.0.0

                Using the OrangePI Zero, nrf24l01 is directly attached to GPIO for a couple of months now. I have not seen any of these issues.

                @skywatch, are you using the latest version of mysgw?
                if so, what is the output of

                mysgw -d
                

                if the above command does not provide any output that shows it connected the radio successfully, check the wiring, another thing i can imagine is that your radio is dead...

                    pi@HAMASS:~ $ mysgw -d
                    mysgw: Starting gateway...
                    mysgw: Protocol version - 2.2.0-beta

                    Yet it worked for more than a week until the crash....Replaced radio today, still the same....

                      Strange can you post the output of

                      ls -la /dev/ttyMySensorsGateway
                      

                      It should show something like this:

                      
                      root@orangepizero:~# ls -la /dev/ttyMySensorsGateway
                      lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Oct  7 13:11 /dev/ttyMySensorsGateway -> /dev/pts/0
                      

                      if not just stop mysgw, and delete the file. mysgw will create a new once mysgw starts.

                        I changed the radio module this evening and rebooted, no change at all.....Puzzled am I.....

                          @skywatch I believe you might have done these steps already. If not, kindly check it.

                          Have you attached capacitor for your NRF24L01+ radio? It works on 3.3 Volts. Kindly check all the details once again from https://www.mysensors.org/build/raspberry Seems the original repo deprecated https://github.com/mysensors/Raspberry

                            Weird, if you kill mysgw, is the device file removed?
                            (will dig into this a little later today)

                              So yes capacitor on nrf and 3.28v seen across it, so no problem there. The radio has a single 2x4 connector so all leads stay in position (much quicker) 🙂

                              Anyway, today brings a new mystery for me as I did the following.....

                              sudo systemctl daemon-reload
                              sudo systemctl restart mysgw.service
                              sudo systemctl stop mysgw.service
                              sudo systemctl start mysgw.service

                              Then to see what was going on....
                              tail -f /var/log/syslog

                              This showed data, so I connected to the web server on the pi and graphs were showing of data received since last night.... It looks like it's all back to normal, except it isn't as I still get exactly the same error message from mysgw -d.

                              Weirder still!

                                I have tried your commands:

                                sudo systemctl restart mysgw.service
                                sudo systemctl stop mysgw.service
                                sudo systemctl start mysgw.service
                                

                                This is my output:

                                root@orangepizero:/var/log# tail -f syslog
                                Oct 10 22:25:09 localhost systemd[1]: Started MySensors Gateway daemon.

                                Does this match your output?

                                looking at the /dev/ device directory, the device file /dev/ttyMySensorsGateway is gone once stopped. and recreated when the mysgw daemon started again...

                                (i also had to re-enable the GW in mycontroller...since it got disabled...)

                                  the link seems okay. now i am wondering what is behind the link...

                                  root@orangepizero:~/MySensors/bin# ls -l  /dev/ttyMySensorsGateway 
                                  lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Oct 12 18:45 /dev/ttyMySensorsGateway -> /dev/pts/2
                                  root@orangepizero:~/MySensors/bin# ll /dev/pts/2
                                  crw--w---- 1 root tty 136, 2 Oct 12 18:46 /dev/pts/2
                                  

                                  if you do an

                                  ls -l /dev/pts/1
                                  

                                  what does that look like?

                                  did you use the correct flags to build mysgw? (as described here)

                                    thanks for the support but the mystery is solved (at least this bit) - I rebooted the pi before giving the mysgw -d and of course mysgw was already started at boot and so was trying to start a second session and that is why the strange messages happened.

                                    I have the system working again now and hope that it will stay that way for many weeks! ......

                                        It didn't stay running - It crashed again.

                                        Nothing in the myc log.
                                        The MYSGW log shows data still being received from the sensor nodes.

                                        Now I am stumped.....really stumped, as to how to get this sorted out......

                                          Sad to hear.....

                                          Have you tried setting up an arduino with an NRF21L01 attached to the arduino?,
                                          Arduino can be connected to USB and the gateway can be pointed to i.e. /dev/ttyUSB0

                                            I am trying some other solution now and will report back if successful.
