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/mycontroller-v2

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
• Angular 4 front end ReactJS
• Ionic mobile application Reactive native
• Two type databases
  • RDBMS for sensor metadata
  • InfluxDB for metrics
• backup/restore as CSV 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.

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

@njbuch I never tested sleep and wake up. Let me try and update, when I get time.

@BenCranston For now MyController will not support for MySensors RSSI. I have to check development version of MySensors to support this feature for MySensors.
RSSI created for future use. Have plan to support LoRa (TheThingsNetwork.org), there we have RSSI.

@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); 

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

@yd I forget to mention a thing. You have to map your firmware with your node. If there is a reboot, your node will check with controller this is my firmware. Controller will respond as we have new firmware use this, Then node will request each block. This is how firmware update works. So you have to map your frimware with your node on MyController node page.

@xuch74 you have to create your own REST API server, that server should act as a REST-MQTT adapter.
On MyController create a mycontroller device type gateway with mqtt and add topic details from your adapter.

@xuch74 build adapter to get data from REST API and post it to MQTT.

@fsgrazzutti I think when I design I might thought tag is a mandatory field. But looks like it is not.

https://github.com/mycontroller-org/mycontroller-v1-legacy/blob/development/modules/core/src/main/java/org/mycontroller/standalone/externalserver/driver/DriverInfluxDB.java#L51

data
                    .append(getVariableKey(sensorVariable, _config.getKeyFormat()))
                    .append(",").append(getVariableKey(sensorVariable, _config.getTags()))
                    .append(" value=").append(getValue(sensorVariable))
                    .append(" ").append(sensorVariable.getTimestamp()).append("000000");

@skywatch MyController does not have any specific control on DST changes. It is all about JVM capabilities in DST changes. AFAIK, JVM supports DST. MyController will overwrite your data for that hour. I do not have any idea about timers, alerts, or other scheduled operations on this duration?

@wkwj00 There is no way to show dashboard without login. Sure, I will take a note of this request for v2.x.
Thanks for your support!

@Clone-Tv looks like there is bug. Group will not support for Script

@Daniele I do not think we have a direct option to control rules from dashboard.

@Clone-Tv No, we can not control with MQTT

@Clone-Tv Simple solution would be accessing the API directly.

To turn ON

• POST https://your-mc-host-or-ip:8443/mc/rest/resources/group/on
• Payload:
  • [3] or [3,4]
  • group id or group ids

To turn OFF

• POST https://your-mc-host-or-ip:8443/mc/rest/resources/group/off
• Payload:
  • [3] or [3,4]
  • group id or group ids

IMPORTANT: For all the requests you should include authorization header as follows,

• authorization: Basic YWRtaW46YWRtaW4K
• To get base64 auth string:

# Format: username:password
$ echo "admin:admin" | base64 
YWRtaW46YWRtaW4K

You can get the group id by clicking the details of the group. on the address at the end you can see the group id.

@Clone-Tv to call the group from external, you have to use API from MyController. We do not have direct options
