[ChristophH]

Hello,
I already use pilight some years on a RPi2B and RPi3. Now I want to use it on a Raspberry Pi Zero W. I installed it yesterday with the latest stable version and I did the steps from the pilight manual.

But somehow I can't receive something (not so bad for me) and I can't switch a plug on or off with the same code like on the RPi3:

Code:

pilight-send -p elro_800_switch -s 31 -u 1 -t

Here's my configuration file:

Code:

{
    "devices": {},
    "rules": {},
    "gui": {},
    "settings": {
        "log-level": 4,
        "pid-file": "/var/run/pilight.pid",
        "log-file": "/var/log/pilight.log",
        "webserver-enable": 0,
        "webserver-root": "/usr/local/share/pilight/",
        "webserver-http-port": 80,
        "webserver-cache": 1,
        "standalone": 1,
        "gpio-platform": "raspberrypizero"
    },
    "hardware": {
        "433gpio": {
            "sender": 0,
            "receiver": 1
        }
    },
    "registry": {
        "pilight": {
            "version": {
                "current": "8.1.5"
            }
        },
        "webserver": {
            "ssl": {
                "certificate": {
                    "location": "/etc/pilight/pilight.pem"
                }
            }
        },
        "hardware": {
            "RF433": {
                "mingaplen": 4420,
                "maxgaplen": 72900,
                "minrawlen": 26,
                "maxrawlen": 400
            }
        }
    }
}

I used "raspberrypizero" because there is no suggestion for a Zero W. Is this a problem?

Here are further information for my system:

I hope someone can help me because I already tried a lot and have no further idea. I also used different hardware for transmitter and receiver and all of them work on my RPi3.

Can you post the output of:

Code:

cat /sys/firmware/devicetree/base/model

[ChristophH]

Thank you for your reply. Here's the output:

Code:

Raspberry Pi Zero W Rev 1.1

[curlymo]

Can you check with a LED if the GPIO actually works?

[ChristophH]

Now I connected a led but with a negative result. There isn't any signal on the GPIO. I know that the GPIOs in general are working because this raspberry is in use for other tasks with GPIOs. Do you have an idea why the signal doesn't reach the pin?

[curlymo]

With what tool does it work?

[ChristophH]

I use it in a python script with "import RPi.GPIO". In another python script I use "from gpiozero import Button". In both scripts I only read GPIOs.

[ChristophH]

No more ideas for my problem?  Are there more information necessary?

[curlymo]

Can you test with the wiringx test programs?

https://github.com/wiringX/wiringX/blob/...es/blink.c

wiringx-blink is part of the package already installed as a dependency of pilight.

[ChristophH]

Sorry, I'm not really fit in this. First I tried to compile blink.c with

Code:

gcc blink.c -o blink_compiled

but wiringx.h was unknown. Then I installed wiringx with the following steps like in the wiringx github project:

Code:

sudo apt-get install build-essential
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make
cpack -G DEB
dpkg -i libwiringx*.deb

 And now I get the following answer when I try to compile it:

Code:

gcc blink.c -o blink_compiled
/usr/bin/ld: /tmp/ccADqibB.o: in function `main':
blink.c:(.text+0x154): undefined reference to `wiringXSetup'
/usr/bin/ld: blink.c:(.text+0x164): undefined reference to `wiringXGC'

/usr/bin/ld: blink.c:(.text+0x1e8): undefined reference to `digitalWrite'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

What's wrong with my steps? Is there missing something for installation of wiringX?
