@petri Hmmm.... I wonder what happens if you set user name and password both to blank? - I haven't tried it, but it might work.

Is it possible to show door status as follows........

V_ARMED = 0 then door shows on dashboard as OPEN or CLOSED
V_ARMED = 1 then door shown on dashboard as TRIPPED or UNTRIPPED

It would be easier to understand!

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

That sounds promising - I was thinking of having a 'beacon' node in the car that would turn on outside lights whenever I got within range and it was dark outside.

I could also have the controller send any warning messages (like alarm activation) to the car.

Is it possible to have the controller make an action (message to another node) when a different node connects or sends a certain message on connecting?

IF it helps at all here are some captures of the resources section.....

Sure!

Would it be any use to add define my_node_id 0 or similar? Usually this is automatic though.

OK - So with the new my sensors 2.3.2-beta I decided to update the GW node. Seems simple enough. But after flashing it and restarting the pi I had a problem with node0 showing as down. It was working fine though and so I decided to try and delete it in the hope that it would be recreated.

After a reboot no node0 was seen in the resources list, the GW was passing traffic as expected. So I assumed that maybe recreating the GW would be required. I deleted the GW.

I tried to re-add the GW again, but even after a reboot of the pi I was just getting an error400 message each time I tried (and I tried a lot!).

Finally I decided to restore from a backup and that got the dashboards and data back.

Trouble is the GW is working fine, yet showing as the old 2.3.1 GW version instead of the new version, and still it is always 'down'.

What should I do to resolve this?

I can delete node 0?
I can rename the current node0 to another number and see if the correct info shows on re-creating the node (if it will even let me)?

Any other solutions?

Hmmm..... So why do only half of my active nodes seem to do this? It puzzles me as shouldn't they all be responding to a discovery request?

Some of my nodes show in Status>ResourceLogs as follows....

Jun 02, 2019 17:01:35 	Notice 	Node 	MYSGW 61:MYS-CinemaControl 	Received 	Internal 	[Discover response] 0
	Jun 02, 2019 17:01:35 	Notice 	Node 	MYSGW 15:Lightning2 MOD-1016 	Received 	Internal 	[Discover response] 0
	Jun 02, 2019 17:01:35 	Notice 	Node 	MYSGW 44:MYS-CO2-MH-Z19B 	Received 	Internal 	[Discover response] 0

Yet some nodes don't seem to show up?!?

What is happening here and how to get nodes to respond like this as it would appear to negate the need to send a heartbeat() at intervals.....Or probably I have it wrong
