Just curious! Has anybody done any implementations of MySensors Controller on TheThingBox, especially the people who are interested in Raspi controllers!?! TheThingbox looks very promising and so does Node-Red.
If anyone is interested in trying out the implementation using UDP packets sent to the subnet broadcast address, check out my pull request https://github.com/mysensors/Arduino/pull/66
Hi John,
appLog.txt
I also tried using datatype string but it doesen't work. Meanwhile I have studies the log files more detailed and found the following behavior:
when defining the device skeletal and when updating the derived device (first approx. 25 lines in the log file V_STATUS is declared as string with values 51 resp. 52 as specified in the web interface. The entity is "Modul 433 MHz".
Later on, when using the toggle switch in the web interface the value has changed in the decription in the log file (see line 164 or 185) value has been changed to on/off. With this definition it seem that the mysensors-Plugin is feeded has been changed from the specified values.
My conclusion is that the change is taking place somewhere outside the mysensors-plugin.
By the way, if I change the type to string do I have to use quotation marks in the web interface?
Thanks a lot for your support.
Martin
If I was to write something like this right now. I would probably use the MEAN stake.
MongoDB
Express
Angular
Node.js
With NodeJS and express you can have it do your api then add AngulerJS and Web Sockets to those two and you will have a very resonsive Web based UI.
Here is were it gets interesting. Python, C++, or C#. Python works with Nodejs very well. Windows 10 under the hood has some big changes which will make it very interesting for development. The new Windows Universal is really new (it is not even released) and very interesting. I have seen it called Core and Windows IoT. I'm right now toying around with Windows IoT on a Raspberry PI and attempting to create a MySensors gateway. I have had some adventures, and am close to putting it away for now until the next build, but it could be very Interesting.
I would set it up to use the Vera http API first and then add support for Z-Wave, MySensors, then Insteon.
This list seems the most complete list of available Home Automation Software and not only open-source and not only for MySensors.
I have some proposals:
is it possible to add voting here to see, who has selected what software and see what is the most popular HA platform?
OpenRemote seems to be more commercial, than open source. In free version it's so limited, that almost unusable.
You can add some more Commercial Software in the list, but not sure how they can support mysensors:

-- Iridium Server http://www.iridiummobile.net/server/
