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?

@tag Thank you so much for your continued support!

when you mention influx are you planning to use the complete "TICK" stack which influxDB is part off?

Yes, I am planning to move the metrics completely to influxDB. RDBMS not good for time series data.

This issue has been fixed

@JeeLet said in vokoscreen:

you can do a reset of the Arduino with MyC. ??

It should work with MySensorsBootloaderRF24, but not tested yet.
https://github.com/mycontroller-org/server/blob/bfee1705ff1d682269521c1d9b84c96bc5bd88a9/plugin/gateway/provider/mysensors_v2/actions.go#L44~L56

reboot a Node when a watchdog is lost ???

it is implemented in MySensors. you have to enable that fuse in your MCU. otherwise MCU will hang.
https://github.com/mysensors/MySensors/blob/2e00bf6a10f76d6aaa1999e12313237bc3edabd3/hal/architecture/AVR/MyHwAVR.h#L72

(tomorrow I'm away from my computer until Sunday)

Enjoy

@JeeLet said in vokoscreen:

MyC does not return all the values, some remain OFF.

use wait(200); between each request, will be useful when you do bulk requests
example:

sendSketchInfo("PCF8574 x4in/out - node40", "2.0");  /*info version sketch à la passerelle*/
wait(200);

/*Mysenors Enregistre Child sur la Gw*/
present(CHILD_ID_B0, S_DOOR, "boton0");      /*Boton*/ 
wait(200);
present(CHILD_ID_B1, S_DOOR, "boton1"); 
wait(200);
present(CHILD_ID_B2, S_DOOR, "boton2"); 
wait(200);
present(CHILD_ID_B3, S_DOOR, "boton3"); 
wait(200);
present(CHILD_ID_R4, S_BINARY, "relay4");    /*Relay*/
wait(200);
present(CHILD_ID_R5, S_BINARY, "relay5");
wait(200);
present(CHILD_ID_R6, S_BINARY, "relay6");
wait(200);
present(CHILD_ID_R7, S_BINARY, "relay7");
wait(200);
  
/* requetes/demandes à un noeud ou GW une variable*/
  
request(CHILD_ID_R4, V_STATUS);   /*Relay*/
wait(200);
request(CHILD_ID_R5, V_STATUS); 
wait(200);
request(CHILD_ID_R6, V_STATUS); 
wait(200);
request(CHILD_ID_R7, V_STATUS); 
wait(200);

I think there is no need to request button values

2nd part of the video : non functional sorting column for the Nodes

I will look into this, thanks!

@jeelet Thanks for the quick action on this

@jeelet

I realize that I give you a lot of work, I will try to reduce my requests.

until it is a valid request, no worries
I can work only on the request, when I get enough free time.

So Bravo for the launching of the themes step, I test in the day, I will make a report this evening or tomorrow (a video ? )

do it when you have free time

ps: message notification finally works

good to know

@JeeLet there is an update in theme, I have implemented initial support for theme. long way to go. overtime we can completely implement the theme feature in MyController v2.

you can check the latest build for the change.

to add custom theme:

• Resources >> Data Repository >> Add, the following,
• refresh the browser
• you can create multiple themes based on this template

id: gray_theme
readOnly: true
description: Gray theme
labels:
  gui_theme: 'true'
data:
  '--mc-background-color': '#ccc'
  '--mc-components-background-color': '#ccc'
  '--mc-dashboard-background-color': '#ccc'
  '--mc-timestamp-color': var(--pf-global--palette--black-600)
  '--mc-widget-background-color': '#ccc'
  '--mc-widget-title-background-color': '#f6f6f6'
  '--mc-widget-title-color': '#434343'
  '--mc-widget-utilization-function-color': var(--pf-global--palette--black-400)
  '--mc-widget-utilization-title-color': var(--pf-global--palette--black-600)
  '--mc-widget-utilization-unit-color': var(--pf-global--palette--black-600)
  '--mc-widget-utilization-value-color': var(--pf-global--palette--black-800)

• To change the theme,
  
• your newly added custom themes will be listed here on browser refresh
• for now changing themes are not recorded in server, only caches in browser.

@jeelet for executable you can check it in https://github.com/mycontroller-org/server/releases/tag/master

@jeelet

Is there a place on the forum where you can find the list of Mycontroller versions?

You may check in docker hub for MyController v2: https://hub.docker.com/r/mycontroller/server/tags

Yet to release the first version of the MyController V2. Till that time you can not see different version numbers

@jeelet sure, I will make it as soon as possible

my automatic notification of the forum has trouble, I change my settings to see ;(

What is the issue?

@jeelet to support multiple themes, I have created GH issue. https://github.com/mycontroller-org/console-web/issues/10
I will implement those, when i get time
