Not reconnecting serial port

[peerkersezuuker]

I have a weird problems since i switched to mysensors 2.0, with 1.5.4 i never had this problem. (same hardware)
Domoticz seems to lose the connection to the serial gateway, and is not reconnecting.

Sometimes it comes back, manny times it won't.
A restart of the system sometimes works, manny time's it dosn't.
A disconnect/reconnect of the gateway from the usb port sometimes works, manny time's it dosn't.
It is the correct port :
tree /dev
Sometime's it reconnects and when i try to activate a mysensor switch, boom the connection is lost.
I tried :
Switching USB ports for the gateway on my machine => nope
Different arduino gateway => nope
And now i am a little bit lost.
Off frustation a ordered the components for a ethernet gateway, but ths is still annoying, and the components will not come in before newyear is suppose
I cam accros a post on the MySensors forum https://forum.mysensors.org/topic/4945/ ... -power-rpi with the same problem, but no sollution. I will cross link this post on the same thread.

I hope someone can push me in the right direction.
With regards

Almost forgot, this is the output on the serial port :

Hey ,
Just wondering, could it be a conflict with USB ports ? I mean, i saw you have a Zwave , could it be he's using same USB port as mysensors. Probably not.

Im using fixed ports.

greetings,

Hello Tommyken,
They are using different USB ports.
/dev/USB) is for the mysensors gateway, and the /dev/ACM0 is for the Zwave controller.
In the meantime i upgrade my domoticz to the latest develeopment branch V3.6235 but still no luck

[tommyken]

I'm guessing this is the solution (however it works for me)
Domoticz with hardware : MySensors Gateway with LAN interface
sudo raspi-config
5 Interfacing Options Configure connections to peripher
P8 Remote GPIO Enable/Disable remote access to G

I hope this might be the same solution, like we mentioned before with the quotation mark.

Yes, the ethernet gateway components are bought, and underway.
But i figgured out my problem (i think)
Between meals i was tinkering arround and i noticed something..
I was running in a terminal screen with "cat /dev/ttyUSB0" to monitor the messages comming to the serial port of the mysensor gateway on my linux machine.
Between testing and a several reboots, i noticed that domiticz returned the correct values from my senosors gateway, and as soon i start in a terminal "cat /dev/ttyUSB0" it stoped and reported the questionmarks... and no response from the gateway.

So it seems that when i was listening on the serial port from the terminal the connection between domoticz and the gateway was lost. As soon as i quit the terminal session, the connection was restored.

This behaviour didn't happen with the 1.5.4. version of the gateway, so i was set on a wrong foot (allong with the different cookie )

So for me this solved my problem (I am still building the ethernet gateway to play with it)

The other difference between my first post about this and now is that i upgraded domoticz to V3.6235 and in the post of Tommyken viewtopic.php?f=42&t=15030 Gizmocuz suggested to leave the check box "accept new hardware" enabeled.

So it works for me now.
Happy christmas
