I started working on MyController version 2.x.
Existing repository renamed to mycontroller-v1-legacy.

Version 1.x: https://github.com/mycontroller-org/mycontroller-v1-legacy

Version 2.x: https://github.com/mycontroller-org/backend and https://github.com/mycontroller-org/console-web

Hello everyone,

MyController was born around August 2015. Currently, version 1.0.0 available for public and before 25, December 2017, version 1.1.0 will be available for the public.

• I see some performance issues with MyController when we have a number of sensors grow.
• We need end user-friendly GUI. I believe for now we have only admin friendly GUI.
• There is no mobile application.
• Supports more databases. H2DB, MySQL, MariaDB, PostgresSQL. To reduce complexity support only for one DB or maximum two databases.
• and more

To rectify all these issues, I am planning to build MyController 2.x from scratch. With the following technologies.

• Spring boot with Undertow GoLang
• Angular 4 front end ReactJS
• Ionic mobile application Reactive native
• Two type databases
  • RDBMS for sensor metadata In-Memory and MongoDB for data
  • InfluxDB for metrics
• backup/restore as CSV YAML or JSON file(except metrics data)

Still, I want to keep MyController's primary platform as Rasberry PI.

Kindly share your experience with influxDB and raspberry PI in the long run. Also, share your thoughts on this big move.

@Avamander Thanks for the pointer. Discourse needs more resources than NodeBB. We do not have that much budget.
So, for now, we do not have any plans to upgrade.

@DaTTcz For now direct battery support not available on Rules. However you can do it from script. I will update how to handle with script.

Kindly create a request on github page to support battery level on rules.

ALL these features are available on SNAPSHOT build

Enter your condition via script,

Steps:

• Create UID Tag for your node,
• Create script to check node battery level (script type: Condition)
• Create rule with this condition script
• Enjoy

Create UID Tag:

Add script:

Java Script to check battery level,

var myImports = new JavaImporter(java.io, java.lang, java.util, java.text);

with(myImports) {
  var mcResult = false; //By default this is false. When your condition meets change this to true
  var batteryLevel = mcApi.uidTag().getByUid("node1").resource.batteryLevel;
  if(batteryLevel >= 50){ // Your condition
     mcResult = true;
  }
}

Add rule:

@skywatch The error shown here is not related to the issue you are facing. This is error is not harmful.

Hello,
MyController 2.0 is in the development stage. I hope we can do a pre-release soon.
I do not want to limit MyController usage not only to the sensors world. can be used for another use case too.

Example:

• monitor stock market and act based on that
• monitor GitHub issues, JIRA issues act based on that
• Monitor an application on a computer
• We have many use cases...

The names should be generic and can be adaptable for all use cases.
So we need a better common name for the sensor and variable.

Current approach (In Version 1.x): Gateway >> Node >> Sensor >> Variable

Sensor:

• The sensor will be renamed as element
• I need better naming here if this is not looking good

Variable:

• We cannot use the name variable, it is more confusing.
• The Variable will be renamed as field (inputs are welcome)

Please respond back with your suggestions

between, Current work of MyController 2.0 deployed at https://demo-v2.mycontroller.org (Username:admin Password: admin)

@seant

var pingDistance = tankDistanceSensor.value; //Water tank level percent

You have to use parseInt(tankDistanceSensor.value), Sensor variable always have String value.
var pingDistance = parseInt(tankDistanceSensor.value); //Water tank level percent

//THESE 2 LINES DO NOT SEEM TO SET THE VALUES
tankLitresSensor.setValue(litres);
tankPercentageSensor.setValue(percentage);

After these two lines add the following lines,

  mcApi.sensor().sendPayload(tankLitresSensor); 
  mcApi.sensor().sendPayload(tankPercentageSensor); 

For now, there is no option to delete a sensor variable alone from the GUI. So I'm providing an option to delete a sensor variable from a script.

Note: This API available from 1.4.0.Final version.

• Now get SensorVariable id from Sensors page. Resources >> Sensors >> Click on view details,
  
  Now click on edit of sensor variable
  

On the URL you can see sensor variable id, This is id is important note it for your target sensor variable

Add the following script on your controller,
Extension: JavaScript
Type: Operation

var myImports = new JavaImporter(java.io, java.lang, java.util);

with(myImports) {
  // pass sensor variable as bindings, example: { id: 99 }
  mcApi.sensor().deleteSensorVariable(id);
}

Execute the script as Run now (select the script and in Actions you can see Run now),
Pass the sensor variable id as bindings, here it is { id: 99 },

Click on Run. All done. Now your Sensor variable removed from MyController.

@skywatch Thanks for the logs. Can you edit and save again gateway2 and see the behavior?

@skywatch Thank you for the excellent feedback on 2.x release.

Just now release 1.1.0.Final

HI @giuseppez thanks to report this issue and root cause of the error.
I have fixed it as you mentioned. Please try with the recent build

https://github.com/mycontroller-org/server/commit/ad667fd2ec29ad7bc8b1e558a8b36752f519eecd

Hi @derekangl I have added code to manage sleeping node in v2. But I have not tested. Can you please verify the status and let me know?

Code changes: https://github.com/mycontroller-org/server/commit/ffe7ab56ab2cacf086180d83cb79fb67ba97c911

There is label will be added in to the sleeping node. sleep_node = true, if it is not added, you have to add this label manually

@derekangl sleeping node feature is not fully implemented. I will work on this and let you know, when it is available. thanks for your patience!

https://github.com/mycontroller-org/server/issues/7

@derekangl Thanks for the screenshot, I will look in to the code and let you know

@fsgrazzutti download the library from https://github.com/schinken/SimpleTimer

Hi @fsgrazzutti, can you try with https://playground.arduino.cc/Code/SimpleTimer/?
Please note this library support available only in MyController v1.

@rmf69 said in MyController 2.0 is ready for testing:

{"error": "Get "https://ipinfo.io/json": dial tcp 0.0.0.0:443: connect: connection refused"}

This error may be due to you do not have internet access of your firewall blocks https://ipinfo.io/json
To avoid this error disable auto location detection feature and enter your location details manually.

I do not see any error in the docker run. Can you please double check the availability of the mycontroller.yaml on your host machine?

enter into the docker container and verify the file

# docker exec -it mycontroller2b /bin/sh
/app # cat /app/mycontroller.yaml

Hi @derekangl, Happy new year!
I do not remember about sleeping node feature availability in v2
I could not get exactly, Can you post the screenshot from v1?
also post screenshot of the sleeping node from v2 (I wan to see the labels)?

@giuseppez you can remove the default label in your yaml file.

If you do not have any label and in future if you have multiple mycontroller-gateways, your serial gateway configuration will be loaded in all the mycontroller-gateways
Here is the doc: https://v2.mycontroller.org/docs/user-interface/resources/gateway/#power-of-the-labels

I then started the go debugger delve and I saw that even if the gateway is without lables, internally it seems that the default label is still present:

By default the configuration file contains the label filter for the gateway and handlers
https://github.com/mycontroller-org/server/blob/master/resources/sample-binary-server.yaml#L50~L62

  labels:
    location: server

You can delete those labels, or add the label in your gateway configuration(GUI)
The label idea is to run multiple gateways in different locations and filter those by labels.
As the location: server, configured for server, it takes only the label with server.

sorry but I was not able to format in a better way the code snippets

no worries, you have to use Markdown format or just use </> in the text editor
