Hi everyone,
I was searching around and didn’t found answer or solution (maybe I missed).
I would like to control sensors (like DHT-22, Relay module…) connected directly to Arduino nano, which is connected to Raspberry only over USB and controlling them using openHAB?
I saw a lot of solutions sending data with MQTT transport over WiFi or Ethernet, but not USB only (USB to USB).
Any answer or link to that kind of solution is welcome.
Best regards
Any reason you’re not connecting the DHT22 etc directly to the Raspberry PI?
I’m doing this using MySensors. You’re able to use the library and binding with a Nano and attached sensors via USB.
@psyciknz Yes, I am using some analog sensors as well, that is one of the reasons using Arduino
@TimO Can you post any link to some tutorial / example.
Thanks

There is a binding for OH1 and a binding for OH2 available: https://forum.mysensors.org/category/15/openhab
Every example from https://www.mysensors.org/build/ will work without NRF24 and with USB connection.
I’m sorry I can’t provide a simpler example.
I’m working on building out a solution to this. Right now I only have support working for controlling the GPIO pins as digital in/out, but I plan to expand to support different sensors. It makes them available over MQTT in customizable topics.
You can find MQTTany over on github. For the moment the documentation is largely found in the config file. I will be making a breaking change in the next day or two to the layout of the config file that will make defining pin configurations more user friendly.
