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.

@skywatch Yes, please send those logs. I may get some clues

Dualoptiboot is an online OTA updater. So all your firmware data are transferred via normal application run time and stored on a external memory.
On the next reboot it is checking is there any new firmware on the external memory. if a new firmware available loads that into your microcontroller and application boots from the newly loaded firmware.
I think serial upload will work with dualoptiboot. But I never tested that scenario.
The problem with dualoptiboot I see is, When there is communication issue at the time of firmware transfer and when you try to push again next time, it says already in latest version. So in this case you have to change the firmware version details in MyController GUI to accept the firmware again. Other than this issue I do not see any.

@skywatch Looks like you have some error on the log. can you send the mycontroller log and also enable to log raw message of that gateway.

to enable gateway raw message log: https://github.com/mycontroller-org/mycontroller-v1-legacy/issues/473

What bootloader do you use for your nodes and for your gateway? Maybe there is something in there worth exploring?

while ago I switched to RFM69, I switched to MY_OTA_FIRMWARE_FEATURE, Dualoptibootbootloader

@fsgrazzutti Thanks for reporting this issue, I will fix it when I get time. Thanks!

I have created a GitHub issue: https://github.com/mycontroller-org/mycontroller/issues/509

jkandasa created this issue in mycontroller-org/mycontroller

open GPS Sensor values not formatted correctly. #509

@skywatch Sadly I do not see any hint here
Do values get updated on the sensor page?

@TRex-600 Welcome to MyController community. I will report an example soon.

@skywatch click on the gateway details page. there check how many nodes available for that gateway.

@skywatch

So how does mycontroller differentiate between gateways if both are having node id 0?

Internally it keeps a unique id for each gateway. Quick view:

You have to maintain a unique node id inside a gateway only.
So each gateway can have the same node id.

@skywatch Sorry for the delayed response.

It is odd. I could not guess the real issue.
Can you please change the serial driver from Auto to jSerialComm and check the status?

@fsgrazzutti Are you getting two timestamp from MyController?
