@jkandasa,

I found a typo in your example : https://<mycontrollerip>:8334/mylib/gauge.min.js
Using https://<mycontrollerip>:8443/mylib/gauge.min.js it works !

Congratulations for MyController !

@jkandasa I finally had the chance to test the SNAPSHOT and it works !

Now I have just to remember how to send the sensor states.

Thanks a lot !

Hi,

not really, I sent a request and got 3 replies.

cause 1:
I discovered that OpenHab was enabled at the same time even if I removed the gateway from its things (just wanted to give it a try), so I just unistalled it and the problem disappeared.
For a while...

cause 2:
I was using MYSController for real time debugging of my sensors, but without enablig the "RX only" mode.
Once enabled the RX only mode, the problem disappeared completely.

So, there's nothing wrong with MyController, but rather a weird scenario caused by me.

Enabling ACK on both sensors and Mycontroller I could figure out what was going on.

So, false alarm, sorry !

Franco.

I have some additional information.

I added a S_INFO child to the GPS sensor and sent the position as text. MyController gets confused again.
I suspected that the semicolon ; can generate confusion in the parser, so in the text information I changed the semicolon ; with a pipe | separator and the text is reported correctly.

@jkandasa thanks for your kind answer.
It's what I imagined.
My use case is: Recreational vehicle equipped with 15-20 nodes to monitor resources like air quality, water, batteries, power supplies and chargers, gas, temperature&humidity, gps, heading and inclination and so on.

So, it's a Smart Mobile Home !

I chose to build a display node just because the white background of the web interface does not fit really well (too much light during the night, annoying when you drive. But I would have avoided it if I only could since it's time and nerves consuming, and buy a couple of cheap tablets instead.

But since I am there, I'd like to keep on using it, so if we could increment it it would be super nice. The same applies to operations and to dashboard, since it'a hard to pick the proper sensor variable when you have about 200 sensor variables, and growing.

Thanks in advance and keep up the good work !
Franco.

@jkandasa I am using nRF24L01. since the distance is short and there are no RF obstacles.

Most sensors are base on the Keywish RF-NANO, which is very convenient for non-battery supplied applications.
The serial gateway itself is just an RF-NANO plugged into the Raspberry Pii where MyController is running.

So far I've developed:

with RF-NANO

1. temperature/humdity sensors
2. RS485 sensor interfaced with 2 power meters (for inverter and mains)
3. GPS sensor
4. water tank level and flow
5. inclinometer (sleeping and cooking on a inclined plane is no fun).

with ESP32+nRF

1. BLE interface to commercial Solar Charger
2. Wifi interface to commercial Battery Manager
3. Air Quality Sensor (this works as a Wifi gateway)

with Arduino Mega + nRF (maybe I'll migrate to ESP32 using WiFi)

1. touch 3.5" display

Lights, relays, door locks and alarms to come.

@jkandasa it works !
it is a bit slower than before (30") but it does what I was missing.

Great job, thank you !

@jkandasa increasing the memory did it. thanks again !

@jkandasa sorry for the late reply.

I don't get any error, just the lists are empty.
Loading the Sensors subpage, it stays there forever.

it seems a database relate issue, maybe I have too many sensors reporting. (average duration is 20ms, 600 messages per minute.

In the meantime I just took a ESP32 and cyclic query in influx db all the sensors that the display expects, and then just forward node-to-node to the display (I use mysensors and nRF24 radio). Still a couple of variable casting problems on V_PERCENTAGE but it works.

Of course, I look forward to get back to Mycontroller

@jkandasa I will give it a try to the snapshot, thanks !

I could not manage to configure Mycontroller V.1 Email notification settings and make it working with the stringent requirements of Gmail. And since its development is frozen, but it is still my beloved solution, I worked on a solution with the help of node-red.

I am on:

running on a Windows 10 mini pc.

In node-red, using https://flows.nodered.org/node/node-red-node-email I have first created a local SMTP server:

followed by a change node in order to extract the html portion of the message from the message object:

In order to avoid email clogging I inserted a

to limit the email send rate to 1 email per second.

Finally, the message containing the html payload is sent to

which connects nicely to t the Gmail SMTP server, using my camper email account.

Gmail SMTP requires an App Password, which can be obtained following these instructions
https://support.google.com/mail/answer/185833?hl=en

This is how the flow looks like in node-red

This is how I set up the email notification in MyController

As you can see the email and domain are fake, since this SMTP server is local. I just needed to define an SMTP user. The same user is added to the list of the allowed users in the Email MTA node.

Hope it helps anyone who, like me, struggled with Gmail SMTP restrictions.

@jkandasa I finally had the chance to test the SNAPSHOT and it works !

Now I have just to remember how to send the sensor states.

Thanks a lot !

@jkandasa thanks,

no, I did not tried it yet, I am a bit scared about the installation. I recently migrated v1.6 to a windows 10 PC

Hello @jkandasa ,

I wanted to update Telegram configuration on my Mycontroller setup, version 1.6.0-SNAPSHOT,
Git commit:branch

The Id I got is 537757xxxx, and I get an error message :
Numeric value (537757xxxx) out of range of int.

any chance to get it fixed ?

@jkandasa I will never be thankful enough for MyController

I found this looking for a way to delete sensors older than a time interval. The reason is that over time and trials I have accumulated a huge amount of sensor variables which I would like to get rid of.
Sometimes they are just sensor variables added on top of the true ones.

Since I have little practice with Javascript I would need some guidance to write a script which removes all the sensor variables older than a given (fixed) interval.

@jkandasa ,
thanks a lot for the prompt answer.

Fun fact, this is the library I use, and there's no run() method, but it appears in the example on the page you linked.

I'm confused now.

Cheers,
Franco

Hi @jkandasa,

I get this error:

MyController.cpp: 158:9: error: 'class SimpleTimer' has no member named 'run
158 | timer.run(); \ SimpleTimer is working
| ^~~

But I could not find any library that has this member.

Any help is much appreciated

@jkandasa I just installed the last SNAPSHOT to the home server and restored the last backup and it works smoothly

@jkandasa today I installed the latest SNAPSHOT, but I wanted to start from a fresh configuration, so I did not restore any backup from the previous snapshot.

So far, looks like it is running much faster, and the sensors dropdown list is filled in a few seconds instead of minutes as before.

Great job ! Happy to be back with MyController !

I will still keep the actual solution for the display.
In this way the data from influxdb to the display doesn't go thought MyController. I added a second serial gateway(different channel and network ID) just for that scope, and so far just for date and time syncronisation.

@jkandasa I will give it a try to the snapshot, thanks !
