EthernetGateway

[icare]

I'm trying to make the ethernetgateway to work with my vera and was following the instructions on page 1. Unfortunately, I hit a 404 error on the topic "The gateway sketch can be found here:
https://github.com/mysensors/Arduino/tree/master/EthernetGateway". Anyone who can give me a lead where to find this?

This is the down side of using the luup io module to communicate with a device. If the power fails on the remote device, then the link cannot be re-established once power is restored, unless Vera is restarted. This is a major Vera problem.

This still seems to be a problem with the Ethernet Gateway in its current form?

Due to this limitation, users may be better off having the Arduino Gateway act as a web server? You would command with GETs or POSTs and receive data in say json.

I'm presuming that the actual constraint is that you can't change the implementation of the gateway on the Arduino... this should be controller independent.

That being the case, I would suppose that a re-implementation using the LuaSocket library can go around the luup.io.open (or, rather, lack of luup.io.close problem.)

Also, does the MQTT gateway approach offer another way around this?

(New to MySensors, so much catching up to be done.  Hence the interest in an old post.)
