@skywatch Do you think it will be an issue with mcagent also running? Could there be a conflict with both python and mcagent trying to access the gpio ports? If you access the same pin from both side(Python and mcagent), it may conflict. Otherwise no issue.

@skywatch Thanks to reporting this log. Unfortunately I could not get any useful information for the issue faced

@skywatch I guess dashboard graph and sensor page graph are in different time duration? Can you share dashboard graph settings screenshot? AFAIK, we could not keep all the data in our system, will lead disk issue, poor performance, etc., In MyController we keep min,max,avg for a duration, as mentioned in metrics retention settings. If you enable min, max, avg, will cover all the data for a duration.

You too, keep up the support and good work everybody!

@skywatch Thank you for the log. This log displayed from the raw message, this message does not contain node name, etc., If we want to display node name, we need to query the database, it may lead slight performance issue in the embedded board. Actually, thinking about it, could it be possible to have a toggle in the nodes page somewhere to 'turn off' ack requirement temporarily? That way controller knows not to check for ack from nodeX due to it being turned off. Does that make sense? Or is it a gateway only thing and either on for all or off for all? It is a good point. please create GitHub issue to track this feature request.

@jkandasa Yup - You appear to have fixed it!

@Emenike It is free. There are no api keys needed. You go to the main Metcheck page, select your location for the weather location you want to use, then towards the bottom of the page is a button labeled 'JSON'. Click that button and it gives you a url to use (just modify the script above for the url it gives you) Sripts are under Utiliries menu in my controller main page. After that manually running the script fetches data fine, but from there on you will need jkandasas help as this is as far as I have got.

@skywatch We are running out of document for more than years. I guess, it is time to update our document. MyController uses ack as follows when you enabled it, Here I have enabled Ack, retry count is 3, ack wait time 1800 ms and stream ack is disabled. Sends data to Gateway and wait for 1800 ms, if MyController receives an ack from gateway assumes this data delivered to the end node. Otherwise send the data once again to the gateway and wait for ack. This loop continues until it reaches the maximum retry count. Stream ack also works in the same way. OTA firmware update comes under stream data type. When we enable ack for firmware update data, it leads to super high delay on the firmware update, So I have introduced new option to disable ack only for stream data(firmware data). So firmware update will be running without ack enabled. I hope this clears ack concept in MyController?

@skywatch This could be a nice idea. But I never experienced this kind of setup. Can you assign node id for NRF24l01+ which is attached with RPI? AFAIK, it should be a gateway node right? If yes, we should not have more than one gateway node in a network. My other easy solution, Keep RPI with a private wifi router, hide ssid and do not connect to the internet. In this case, you can have a controller in one place and from another place you can access the controller via your private router.

@skywatch I have introduced an option from the script. Now we can safely remove a sensor variable from MyController. This feature is available from a very recent SNAPSHOT version. you can follow: https://forum.mycontroller.org/topic/361/how-to-delete-a-sensor-variable-from-script

@skywatch See here for reason and solution..... https://forum.mycontroller.org/topic/328/serial-problem/57

@skywatch thanks for the feedback. Option #1 will be good. unfortunately, we cannot support Option #2, whole system backup. We can run MyController on many platforms(Linux, Windows, Mac, etc.,), it is very difficult to maintain the backup code.

@jkandasa Following a period of relative calm in my setup, yesterday I got 2 ghost nodes appear again. One was a single temperature reading (which if correct was from the heating boiler) and the second was a single on/off. I wonder if there is some way that a malformed message could do this? The temp one showed +58.4C and the only thing to get that hot is the heating system. I have some nice new power supplies now (not from ali or ebay!) and will be building a UPS with these to improve stability and performance during power black/brown outs. So nothing to do on myc front unless this still happens after all the above is done. The new supplies have cured issues on other pi builds, so hopeful on this one too....

@skywatch I hope it is possible. I will check it locally and update the status

@jkandasa There are already wait(100); between nrf sends, and big (1000+uF) capacitors to buffer energy for the send. I have made progress and sent you an email with my findings.

@jkandasa Thanks I got it to work! The below is what I used as I cannot display the full message on a small oled and so I use abbreviations held in an array. Therefore I needed to get a value to act as a pointer to the message to display and the below did the trick! - Node finished! void receive(const MyMessage &message) { if (message.sensor == CHILD_ID_GETFORECAST && message.type == V_FORECAST) { forecast = (message.getString()); if (forecast == "stable"){ Index = 0;} else if (forecast == "sunny"){ Index = 1;} else if (forecast == "cloudy"){ Index = 2;} else if (forecast == "unstable"){ Index = 3;} else if (forecast == "thunderstorm"){ Index = 4;} else if (forecast == "unknown"){ Index = 5;} }

@skywatch

@skywatch You're gonna hate me, I know! Definitely no Thanks for your ideas. I do not know I can implement all of them. But it I will try to implement.
