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.

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

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

@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.

@blacksheepinc Hi, Yes, I had a look. And looks like we can implement with MyController with some new implementation to support for JSR223 standard(which is used in Java). Kindly create a request on github.com/mycontroller-org/mycontroller/issues When I get time I will work on this. Thank you!

@j54n1n Yes, it should be race condition. I will look into the code carefully.

@j54n1n Are you seeing this issue on startup of the MyController server?

Hi @j54n1n, yes, please report in GitHub. Thanks for your time on this!

@j54n1n

So maybe could there be in the future a more official way to script this?

Possible options,

• keep a backup and restore from that backup.
• In the future I will show an example to add/modify a resource via API

You mentioned for example in the Github issue from MyController v2 some form of scripting.

I mentioned the script to convert the received values with specified math. script result supplied to the MyController.

Or maybe going back to the v1 approach of a backup file or something like that?

We have backup/restore option, in V2 it is possible to backup/restore to different databases (except metrics)

@j54n1n sorry for the delayed response.
Actually you are accessing the storage data directly. Those data will be loaded at startup. and overwritten from memory on an interval mentioned on the mycontorller.yaml file.

It is a Yaml list, you can configure any number of gateways on that file, file name should be as gateway__1.yaml

You can omit state, modifiedon, lasttransaction fields.

Please note: as this is storage schema (not exposed to end user directly), can be change in the future release. It may be an extra work for you, in case if there is a change in the future.

@j54n1n Thanks for the detailed report. I have added a GH issue to track this
https://github.com/mycontroller-org/server/issues/2

Hi @hj_sk I have updated the V2 doc to install MyController server v2. But still lot things to be updated.
Kindly follow the document and let me know if you see an issue.
Thanks!

Documentation: https://v2.mycontroller.org

@j54n1n thanks again! please report back if you find any

Thanks @j54n1n
I believe I my change will not impact the functionality
Please let me know if you see a different behavior in the recent build

@hj_sk Welcome to MyController community
Thanks for your interest
I am working/reworking on documentation.
I will keep informed you.
