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

@JeeLet , what @skywatch is explained exactly.
In addition to that,

• MC v2 never take backup of your metrics database, here it is influxdb
• Retention count - controls only that particular backup schedule, example: if you run a backup manually, it will not be included in the count and it never deleted. also it will not count backup from another schedule. in MC v2 it is possible to schedule multiple backups. I have like weekly and hourly.

@JeeLet I will check the possibilities on the chart. to track this I have added GH issue: https://github.com/mycontroller-org/console-web/issues/15

@skywatch good one. I have added GH issue to track this https://github.com/mycontroller-org/console-web/issues/14

@JeeLet said in Webcam and MyController:

but I did not succeed, the world becomes more and more complicated, I tested with 4 different tutorials, even installs with compilation, there is always a file or a version which is not with the appointment

We will get a great solution at the end of your research

but the Nginx server is cool, I will be able to use Hugo for my personal pages.

true, mycontroller v2 documentation is based on hugo and running with nginx. https://github.com/mycontroller-org/documentation

@JeeLet can you display the video via your nginx server?

@Yourry looks like you have problem with your influxdb configuration or setup.

@JeeLet said in Webcam and MyController:

1st : Can MyController display a video ?
(in the widget the unrecognised formats
.mov and .mp4 .avi )

For now we do not have that option. it is a good requirement, I will work on it. GH issue: https://github.com/mycontroller-org/console-web/issues/12

2nd : Can MyController turn on the Webcam when you go to the Widgets page, and turn it off when you leave ?

This looks again a good idea. GH issue: https://github.com/mycontroller-org/console-web/issues/13

@Yourry welcome to MyController world
you can display your freezer temperature different way.
I have given an example here. if you want different graph let me know, I can try to provide an example.

@fsgrazzutti with the help of GitHub action I built the bundle and pushed it in to SNAPSHOT location. Have not tested yet. Let me know if you face a difficulty.

Thanks @JeeLet !
