MyController 1.2.0-SNAPSHOT version with major provider changes and supports for ack

[jkandasa]

Need volunteers to test 1.2.0-SNAPSHOT version. This version has major changes on the provider side.
Now it supports ack.

Report your issues here

CAUTION: This version might have major bugs, do not use it in your production environment.
Do backup your existing version and move to this version.

Steps to do backup/restore

Changes: https://github.com/mycontroller-org/mycontroller/commit/67b4f148ea36cd37d917d7560ffaed35871d2b6a

Remove following directory, if you do the dirty upgrade:

# rm mycontroller/conf/persistent_stores/mc/* -rf

To enable ack, edit gateway and,

To see gateway Statistics go to gateway details:

[wanvo]

Excellent!
I will test.

[Tag]

Sign me up! I will test!

---===[ UPDATE ]===---
Houston, we got lift off, all systems go

Now i check my logs and find lots of these:

How to figure out what is going on here?

• What is being re-tried?
• Why is it being re-tried?

[jkandasa]

@tag When you enable ack gateway will wait for ack from MySensors. If there is no ack sending again. This will try until it reaches it is Failed retry count. We have configured these settings in Gateway configuration.

Are you Controller and MySensors set-up on the same network? Increase Ack wait time, sometimes it will help.

I will add more detailed log here, to show what is going on.

Thank you! I will update you once I put these changes.

[jkandasa]

@tag SNAPSHOT version updated with a meaningful message. Kindly update your build.

[Daniele]

I'd like to do some testing too!
I have 2 ethernet gateways, but this new versions seems to have some issue with GW presentation (I still haven't enabled ack on GW):

[jkandasa]

@daniele Thanks to reporting this issue. I have fixed this issue and update SNAPSHOT version. Could you please try this change? and report back?

[Daniele]

You're super-quick!!!

I updated the version, and now the issue is fixed.
For the time being everything is running fine, I'll let it run for a pair of days and let you know if I find any issue.

By the way, I suggest adding something in this page to expose the ack flag status:

[Daniele]

PS: really minor issue: the order of the dashboards is reversed now; is there a way to change it?

There is a change in dashboard, from this fix -> https://github.com/mycontroller-org/mycontroller/issues/424

Do you see anything different? It should be order by ascending alphabetical

[jkandasa]

@daniele

By the way, I suggest adding something in this page to expose the ack flag status:

You mean ack enabled or disabled? Or something else?

[Daniele]

@jkandasa That's exactly what's happening, I missed that change. Thanks!

[Daniele]

@jkandasa Actually without going in edit you don't have anything telling you if this GW uses ack. Enabled / disabled would be enough for me.

[wanvo]

When registering nodes with a sensor of the "Motion" type in the old version of MyController, I created two variables "V_ARMED" and "V_TRIPPED". In the new version, only a variable of the type "V_TRIPPED" is created

I'm still looking error in my sketch

[wanvo]

Earlier, when I changed the variable "Armed" on a sleeping node

MyController waited until the node came out of sleep and sent it the right message.
Now when I try to change this variable, I get the following warning

I guess the problem will be your node sketch presentation code?

Yes, I changed this approach as follows,

If you change anything for a sleeping node, simply it will be sent to the queue. Will not update into inventory/graph etc., Once it sent successfully to the sleeping node, it will be updated.

I will change this message to user friendly, also I will try to display message queue for a sleeping node.

This my presentation code

void presentation()  {
	sendSketchInfo(SKETCH_NAME, SKETCH_VERSION,true);
	present(ID_S_MOTION, S_MOTION, "Motion Sensor",true);
	present(ID_TIME_SLEEP, S_CUSTOM, "Time sleep",true);

		//send(msg_TIME_SLEEP.set(time_sleep));
		//sendRSSIReport();

		request(ID_TIME_SLEEP, V_VAR5); //запрос значения time_sleep```

@wanvo Is this sketch running first time with MyController? Do you have this sketch with the previous version? Did it work with old version?

Can you add some minimal delay between,

send(msg_S_MOTION.set(false),true);
wait(500); // value in milliseconds
send(msg_S_MOTION_ARM.set(s_armed),true);
