Mesh network and gateway?

@njbuch I have updated quick start guide. Kindly let me know if you face any issue.

Super awesome, thank you very much, will give it a spin and contribute as good as I can! Thanks!!

Hi again, I have now installed the mycontroller server on my Ubuntu box and configured to your instructions, and got the ESP8266 device configured and tested with the code provided.

The device seems to work as the log says:

MC: Configuration(NodeEUI:[ESP_0B9892], FeedId:[esp], Mqtt{Server:[192.168.1.197], Port:[1883], User:[]})
MC: Connecting to WiFi with ssid[1421530] and with password.........OK
MC: WiFi BSSID:[00:02:61:A8:32:58], RSSI:[-74 dBm, 52 ], IP:[192.168.1.103]
MC: MQTT settings(Broker:[192.168.1.197], Port:[1883])
MC: MQTT authenticating as anonymous
MC: MQTT connected :)
MC: MQTT topic subscribed:[in_esp/ESP_0B9892/#]
MC: Initialization done...

But there is no sign of the node popping up on the mycontroller server, and when I try sending a raw message to the device with the NodeEUI ESP_0B9892 and sensor relay-1

It fails in a HTTP request with this log-item:

2017-02-02 23:19:56,735 ERROR [Thread-4] [org.mycontroller.standalone.message.MessageMonitorThread:70] RawMessage[RawMessage(gatewayId=1, data=1.0.0, subData=out_esp/ESP_0B9892/SENSOR_BC/C_PRESENTATION/S_ARDUINO_NODE/0, isTxMessage=false, networkType=MY_SENSORS)] throws exception while processing!, 
java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: "ESP_0B9892"

I am unsure as where I can find the new node, and if the node is automatically added to a list somewhere, and how I can configure it to belong in a room, and expose the correct sensors....?

Thanks

@njbuch Use latest SNAPSHOT version and configure gateway as shown here, For complete details refer this location

mc_01

@jkandasa Upgrade to the latest SNAPSHOT release. And it seems to work.

But the MyControllerDevice...

But it seems there is an incompatibility with some ESP8266 boards. Its working on the LoLin board NodeMCU v3, but not on the Wemos D1 mini 2.1.0.

The Wemos keeps restarting and outputs:

@njbuch Did you select correct version of ESP board when you compile?

njbuch

I am pretty sure, other examples are working with that configuration. I just pulled the most recent version of the code, and got a glimpse of the error message:

@njbuch Can you give your source code? for this error?

njbuch

Yep, its the unedited source and the board-defs is the newest downloaded from https://github.com/esp8266/Arduino.git esp8266

https://github.com/mycontroller-org/MyControllerDevice/blob/master/examples/RelayActuator/RelayActuator.ino

The board is the https://www.wemos.cc/product/d1-mini.html

The relay actuater code is working fine with my other LoLon esp8266 board, and I get the node and sensors up fine in the mycontroller server.

@njbuch

I am pretty sure, other examples are working with that configuration. I just pulled the most recent version of the code, and got a glimpse of the error message:

You are facing this issue with all ESP8266 boards? Or only with https://www.wemos.cc/product/d1-mini.html
that too only with recent version? old version works good with https://www.wemos.cc/product/d1-mini.html ?

njbuch

@jkandasa Thanks for getting back to me on this. You are a star!

I am only facing the issue on the Wemos D1 mini boards. I have not tried other versions of them, but they suit me really well on their form factor and specs for my project.

Everything is working on my other ESP8266 boards, so far I have only tested the example code from the library though. Will dive into a termometer tonight.

I do not have any Wemos D1 mini with me. I am testing only with ESP12E and ESP01. Both works great for me.

looks like inside Wemos D1 mini has ESP12E module only. Can you give a try with the following board on Arduino IDE for your Wemos D1 mini

I have now tried fiddling with different boards, including the NodeMCU 1.0 module. The error is the same, and the board keeps rebooting.

Hi again, tried looking for other solutions, and checked this one: https://github.com/esp8266/Arduino/issues/2414

This guy is having the same problem, but solved it with using a powered HUB, I tried the MycontrollerDevice with some extra juice, and it did not change a thing.

My conclusion is that it writes: "MC[I]: Booting ESP8266 device..." before the exception, there is an illegal pointer operation somewhere in the library....

jkandasa

@njbuch Can you try some simple sketch without MyControllerDevice and what is the status?
No clue yet

jkandasa

@njbuch Are you using Enable auto discovery? If yes, can you disable it and try again? when configuring your device?

Does this issue resolved on https://github.com/mycontroller-org/MyControllerDevice/issues/5#event-951107065?

njbuch

Yes it does. Thanks
