      @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

              @jkandasa

              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...

                    @skywatch

                    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.

                        @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

                              This is my output:

                              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...

                                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! ......

                                        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

                                            global:last-edited-by,

                                            I tried powering the rf module via the 5V pi rail via a 3.3V regulator just incase the 3.3v from the pi wasn't very clean. Still the same.......

                                            So...... Today I have made a promini (3V, 8MHz) gateway adn connected to the pi via serial connecting.

                                            I got Final-1.1.0-SNAPSHOT and installed that fresh and reconfigured it all from scratch. So far all sensors bar one have come up and behaving as they should. So now it is a waiting game (with a little investigation as to why one node is not showing - it seems to be registering as node0 when it should be node1 - I may reflash it and force the node id to see if that has an effect).

                                            It will be annoying if it is a broken pi gw from mysensors, but not everything works as you expect it to I have discovered. 😞

                                            Cheers! 🙂
