Screenshots of MyController.org server.

@jkandasa

Looks great,

Let me know when you want to add it to the main site controller list. Just send me an email.

[jkandasa]

@hek Thank you! I will create some level of documents then we will add it in main site.

Sweet!
Maybe exactly what I was looking for at the '?' mark in my post.
Does your controller also include a MQTT server to connect / export events to another home automation system? (like for instance OpenHAB?)
Kurt

[jkandasa]

@Kurt Yes, it will fill your '?' mark with serial gateway. Right now MyController.org supports only serial gateway.

It will log all the events, you can schedule a timer, alarm and you can upload firmware of your nodes, many other features.

I never own Edison, But I guess you can run MyController.org server in Edison, if it supports Java 1.8, ~30 MB disk space and 40 MB RAM.

Great work - That looks fantastic! I'm curious what you envision as the longer term goals for the project? Do you see there being custom programming features (plugins via java, python, etc)? Feature wise, how does it compare with existing automation systems like openhab?

[jkandasa]

@TD22057 Thank you! As you know already MySensors.org is a fantastic project for Open Source world. I would like to thank you MySensors.org the way of giving my contribution back to MyController.org, hence MyController.org born.

Longer term vision: Align with MySensors.org (primary Open Source Controller)
Features: https://github.com/mycontroller-org/mycontroller#available-features

There is no plugin concept available. But it has excellent REST API, You can use your own client.

[mvader]

will you be supporting eithernet gateways in the near future or are you only going to support serial gw's?

[jkandasa]

Definitely I will support for Ethernet gateway. I'm learning Ethernet gateway.

I like how it does graphical reports on all the sensors, straight up on Day 1! Nice!

[Kurt]

Just gave it a quick test ... Nice! Worked +/- straight our of the box on my Mac. Next up is indeed to test on my Edison as it's very low power which is nice for 24/7 use.

Are you planning MQTT support?
I like your intend to align with MySensors which I interpret as 'focus on supporting MySensor functionality perfectly' rather than trying to also become a controller for other (home automation - zwave, x10, ... ) protocols as well? If your controller focusses on MySensor it could perfectly sync up with another automation controller using something like MQTT (or perhaps REST like you say is already supported)

+1 vote for MQTT. I need a controller that can send out events via MQTT messages as they occur so other software can respond to them. REST is great for some things but I don't want to poll the controller to check it's state.

[Anticimex]

Interesting stuff! Good work @jkandasa !

[jkandasa]

@kurt Thank you! Kindly post us status of Edison test.

Right now I do not have any road map to support for other home automatons (like zwave,x10,etc.,). I guess we can do everything with MySensors.org.

@Kurt, @TD22057 I will think about MQTT support for events.. Can you please open new enhancement under https://github.com/mycontroller-org/mycontroller/issues We can discuss further about this feature.

[epierre]

then websockets would be best !
