2. Installing Mycontroller

The following commands in part 2 should be run with sudo:

sudo mv ./mycontroller /opt
cd /opt/mycontroller/bin
sudo ./start.sh

@skdzzz

You are right!, Thx!
Update done

Thanks much for this tutorial.

If the mycontroller directory (part 2) is not moved to /opt, then the /etc/init.d/mycontroller script (part 4) needs to be edited appropriately.

The links in this getting started guide are quite old and should be updated. Or maybe better: Link to the download page instead: https://mycontroller.org/#/downloads

I ran 1.0.0.Final for some days now and wasn't aware that this is an old release.

@benhub Thank you! I have added the following lines in the original blog.

IMPORTANT: 1.0.0.Final was the latest one when this blog has written, maybe older when you installing, download the latest version from https://mycontroller.org/#/downloads

3. Connecting to the gateway
   There are 2 ways of connecting the NRF24L01 radio,

What about ESP8266 gateway?

@zoomx

What about ESP8266 gateway?

What type of library are you using inside ESP8266? If MySensors it works

any change in the install process with MyController 1.4.0?
Is the JAVA version update still necessary with the new raspbian image (2019-04-08)?
keep up the good work
cheers

@francois No changes for installation as far as I am aware.

As for Java, it's always best to use the latest version for security and compatibility unless there is a compelling reason to use an older version.

[jkandasa]

@francois There is no change in the installation process. You can use the latest version of java 1.8.x

@sherif

Hi Sherrif!,

What error do you see?
have you tried to create the file in /etc/init.d with the command:

sudo touch /etc/init.d/mycontroller
