@jkandasa Great stuff - another amazing new feature for V2.0! 🙂

@Tag Absolutely right.

Initially i was worried about losing sensor data with the clocks moving and then wondered about actions in this period.

I wonder if all controllers have the same issue or if one or more have a work around to mitigate the issue?

I'll have a look but have not much free time for a while now.

@skywatch Yup! - As always you have fixed it promptly. 🙂

@skywatch

@jkandasa Thanks! - Good to see you again 🙂

I am a bit busy with other work 🙂 Hopefully, I get a good time to start work on MC 2.x soon.

V_ARMED will act like as a binary switch.

@jkandasa ok- sorry I got confused there for a while!

@skywatch

Can it be set so default is not checked?

No, default it is enabled.

Realtime: shows original connection status, used to see a chain of nodes connected
if disabled, just link all the nodes to gateway directly

@Daniele Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

I still use the bootloader that is installed in China, so not the issue for me. I also specify node ID in the sketch to avoid issues with getting it assigned from the GW.

I have had a much better experience lately with new quality power supply, but still had a weird crash this week.

I woke to find the pi running, activity light flashing as it normally does, but no web page served, no ssh access and no activity light on the SSD.

Within a few days I will re-build removing as many dupont connectors as I can and soldering wires instead. It's really the last thing I can think of, but I am seeing things improve which is a good thing! 😉

@skywatch I hope it is possible. I will check it locally and update the status

@skywatch Thank you for the log. This log displayed from the raw message, this message does not contain node name, etc., If we want to display node name, we need to query the database, it may lead slight performance issue in the embedded board.

Actually, thinking about it, could it be possible to have a toggle in the nodes page somewhere to 'turn off' ack requirement temporarily? That way controller knows not to check for ack from nodeX due to it being turned off. Does that make sense? Or is it a gateway only thing and either on for all or off for all?

It is a good point. please create GitHub issue to track this feature request.

@skywatch We are running out of document for more than years. I guess, it is time to update our document.

MyController uses ack as follows when you enabled it,

0_1541212062106_0f2d8218-baa2-41b1-a52a-23ae70c78eb5-image.png

Here I have enabled Ack, retry count is 3, ack wait time 1800 ms and stream ack is disabled.

Sends data to Gateway and wait for 1800 ms, if MyController receives an ack from gateway assumes this data delivered to the end node. Otherwise send the data once again to the gateway and wait for ack. This loop continues until it reaches the maximum retry count.

Stream ack also works in the same way. OTA firmware update comes under stream data type. When we enable ack for firmware update data, it leads to super high delay on the firmware update, So I have introduced new option to disable ack only for stream data(firmware data). So firmware update will be running without ack enabled.

I hope this clears ack concept in MyController?

@skywatch
:thumbs_up:

@skywatch I am sorry I did not document it anywhere. This feature already available.
You can check this post.

@betows Super admin user only can work with scripts and templates. custom widget based on script and template. hence normal user cannot access it.

@skywatch Thank you!

Yes, it is possible, AFAIK, we can implement this feature by executing direct Linux command. I will add an API to execute OS commands. And will provide an example to add custom buttons on the dashboard.

Kindly create a ticket on GitHub page to track this request.

@rmf69 you have to say do not want dampening feature by choosing None option.

@jkandasa

Thanks 🙂

@skywatch I guess the current version of dashboard won't support as is. We need to add some code for this. Can you create GitHub ticket for this?

@HolesFlow Sensor may have more than one sensor variable's. You can create a simple script to display values on the dashboard. Or you can use Action board >> Sensors action
