Windows GUI/Controller for MySensors
-
@Anticimex No, not a bug and in the feature request list (I_VERSION handling). The signing field is updated once the node sends its signing preferences.
-
@tekka Ok, but then I believe I found a bug, because I have reset my node and it did send its presentation messages, but the field did not update. I'm not at home right now so I can't get you the logs but I will see if I can replicate the steps and send you later on.
-
@tekka Thanks for this great tool! I have been using it to monitor my nodes successfully for over a day. It's great. I do have a couple of questions.
Is there a way to see Variables that are sent from my controller (Vera)? I see the request sent from the node but not the response from Vera. Here is a screenshot. I would expect to see numbers sent back from Vera but maybe I'm missing something.
Is there a way to send a message to a node that hasn't checked in with the controller yet? I tried to manually type in a Node and Sensor but was unable to. I'd like to be able to send commands to nodes that haven't checked in if possible. For example, if the controller wasn't running for a while but I want to start it up to send a reboot command to a node that is no longer communicating. Or, if I have a relay node that doesn't check in often but I need to change the state.
Thanks again!!

No, not to my knowledge - anybody?

You can manually add a node, but not a sensor: in the node tree view: right click | Add node | enter ID.
I will add the manual sensor adding to the feature requests.
-
@Anticimex Just had a quick look at the library code: if signing is enabled (in the GW), the I_REQUEST_SIGNING message is not published. This field is only updated if signing is disabled (in the GW). However, MYSController will reply with a "signing not supported" message.
-
@tekka right. Signing exchange is currently only done in the rf protocol, not to the controller. So are there currently any ways for the controller to populate that field?
A future addition of a I_CONFIG message is under discussion where node properties such as signing and other things can be published to a controller, so I suppose that field in the ui is for future use then
-
@Anticimex ~yup

Great, thanks!
As for the variables, I don't think I was clear in what I was asking. The variable is a MySensors variable. It just doesn't look like it's picked up by the MYSController. I am doing a horrible job describing this but here is that I see in the log file:

Hopefully that makes a little more sense.
Thanks again for all the hard work!

@mvader please upload the entire log file to check a few things. Also, if the node is next to (or too close) you will get RF interferences (this has been observed for the large antenna and max tx power).
EDIT: before I forget, also upload the log from the node - this will help to elicit the problem...
I have to do more testing over the weekend, but i updated my gateway to 1.5, as my nodes where 1.5 but gate was 1.4, the 1st one i tried, worked without issue.
dont know if it was a fluke/lucky or updating to 1.5 on the gateway solved my issue.. i'll post more as i test more nodes

The controller receives messages from the GW but does not intercept messages sent from other controllers (due to the architecture). Similarly, messages sent with MYSController won't appear in Vera.
But this leads me to an interesting idea...let's see

looking for some help with OTA and a sensebender board.
if i manually reset the board, then it will take the OTA and that works fine.
however, that's the only way i can get it to work.
it doesn't respond to a reboot command (I assume this is because it's sleeping)
and even if i select the battery/sleeping option, when a transmission does come in, it doesn't reset or start an OTA.
the only way so far is to physically PF the device and then the OTA works.
what am i missing?
thanks!EDIT: so this does seems to work.. i spent all morning trying to come up with hack-y ways to get this to work.
using the default sensebender sketch the OTA wait time is set to 300 milli seconds. which is like .3 seconds.
i changed that 3000 (3 seconds) set the FW and waited for the next transmission..boom off it went (the OTA).
so for anyone running into this issue. try this solution.
I cant imagine 3 seconds vs .3 seconds is going to make a huge difference in battery life.

Looking for help to interpret log data after an OTA update. I am just learning, and successfully OTA'ed a simple DS18B temperature sketch to a node using MysController. Now I am trying to OTA an DHT22 node (the example sketch in 1.5 version, no changes to it.) The firmware OTA seems to go fine, but the Pro Mini never seems to start. Below is the log, I have bolded the log entries I don't understand. As shown, the first bold section comes right after the OTA. The second 16 minutes later is because I pushed the reset button on the pro mini. Any help understanding the log entry is appreciated.

Oh, sorry. I thought it did. I can see my light (relays) messages when turning on/off with my Vera but maybe that's the ACKs?
-
@novicit The bold section is the bootloader sending/requesting the current node configuration. Did you set a static node ID in your sketch?
-
@tekka Thank you for your response. The sketch does not have a static ID - the line is "gw.begin();" So it should receive a node ID. I had MysController set to "AutoID" and it successfully issued the next free ID, which was 2. How would I test further to see why it does not begin execution. (I am using ethernet gateway with authentication, but the configuration is set to 'false', so a node not asking for Atsha response does not get one. Other non-atsha nodes work fine-as shown in the log. Don't know if this would make a difference.)
-
@tekka, In thinking about your question .... As the sketch begins execution after OTA'ing, it then asks for a node id to be issued (even though it has received one from the MysController) - and since I am using an ethernet gateway (& Domoticz) which does not automatically issue a node ID, the pro mini just sits there and waits for a node id? Would it then work if I put in a static node ID, even if it is different than the one issued by Myscontroller? And the node then adopts the static ID. ??
-
@tekka I tried 2 new nodes with static id assigned [gw.begin(incomingMessage, 21, false);] and [gw.begin(NULL, 23, false);] ---- still same frozen response.

-
@novicit Can you temporarily use a serial gateway with debug enabled and upload a debug-enabled sketch to see what's going on on both sides? Please post the node and gateway log for further hints.
-
Can I set up Hydroponic Greenhouse automation with MYSController???
-
@tekka just wondering.. is there anywhere a documentation how the OTA works?
I'm currently trying to write a little perl-script with OTA support and had a hard time misreading the source code of the MYSController and OTABootloader.
-
@tekka, problem solved! I took a debug log from the node per your suggestion and was surprised to get:
radio init fail
radio init fail
radio init fail
This of course surprised me after it just finished downloading 20kb+. Turns out after I made the first test of OTA which worked fine, my home network automatically synchronized my laptops & desktop. This brought over a copy of myconfig.h which had softspi enabled! (I had been setting up the gateway on a different computer). So when I went to OTA on the second and third nodes it picked up the synched myconfig.h. Ugh, such little strange things that take so much time to find.
@tekka, my apologies for using some of your time. And my Thanks for your great work and sharing with the community!! Hopefully others will avoid similar mistakes by reading this.
-
Hi @tekka , I'm trying to create a simple thermostat device and I'm usually using your fantastic controller for prototype testing and debugging. Now I would need the possibility to send setpoint values from the controller and the current version of MYSController does not seem to support the following:
V_HVAC_SETPOINT_COOL 44 HVAC cold setpoint S_HVAC
V_HVAC_SETPOINT_HEAT 45 HVAC/Heater setpoint S_HVAC, S_HEATER
V_HVAC_FLOW_MODE 46 Flow mode for HVAC ("Auto", "ContinuousOn", "PeriodicOn") S_HVACI would greatly appreciate it is these features were implemented to your fantastic controller also.
Best regards,
Tomas
-
sorry if this has been asked before.
but I have a nano with mySbootloader installed and when i look at it in the serial monitor its just all gibberish.
i tried different speeds, but still the same.
is it not possible if you have that bootloader installed? or do i need to do something else.?
thx
-
@korttoma is implemented in 0.1.2.284 - release pending
-
@mvader this is not related to MYSBootloader. Try doubling the baud rate setting, i.e. 230400....
-
@tekka Would it be possible in a future version to have the controller save the detected network nodes? Right know, I have to re-present the nodes in order for them to appear properly in the tree every time MYSController is restarted since it starts up with an empty tree.
-
Hi @tekka , I've gone through the steps in your guide using MQTTGateway as gw sketch.
When I start my new node (burned with mysbootloader) I only see the repeating message "FIND_PARENT" in MySensor Debug window and "RX 0;0;3;0;9;read: 0-0-255 s=255,c=3,t=7,pt=0,l=0,sg=0:" in the MYSController Debug window.
The message appears every time the led is blinking on the node (approx every 2 seconds).Any idea why it doesn't request node id? Have also tried with AutoID without success.
Thx!
-
@Anticimex is implemented in the upcoming release
-
@rubal MYSController does not support MQTT gw. Please use a different controller or change to a serial/tcp gw.
-
@tekka sweet! Any ETA on the next release?
-
@Anticimex wanna beta-test?
-
@tekka for sure
-
@tekka - i do
i use it every day

@cdr said:
I changed the channel in the mysensors config.h to 77, this was the reason no node would ever show up since the default mysbootloader uses the default channel 76.
I think I am running into the same thing. How did you fix this? I have many nodes so switching back to 76 is not a good option for me.
-
-
@cdr I've never recompiled a bootloader before but when I did some searching it seems that I need the .c file to do this. Maybe I'm missing something and I can recompile the .hex? How did you end up doing it? Thanks!
-
I did some more testing and my issue definitely appears to be a result of changing the channel in MyConfig.h. I just built a serial gateway with channel 76 selected and everything worked perfectly. The only problem is I have over 20 nodes located throughout my house so re-uploading the code so they use that channel is not something I'd like to do if I can avoid it. Does anyone know how I can recompile the bootloader so I can change the channel?
I tried the files @siklosi posted here http://forum.mysensors.org/topic/2319/how-to-make-complie-mysbootloader/7 but it did not work.
-
in firmware_config.csv file what is the first column "type" for? And where do I get "type" codes?
-
@niccodemi type can be any numeric value used to identify a specific firmware type - this value (together with FW version and the FW CRC) is used to automatically update the nodes.
-
@petewill did you have any success finding out how to change default channel?
-
I recently switch to RFM69 and I know it's not yet compatible with MYSBootloader. But I can't find information about RFM69 and dualoptiboot support for OTA in MYSController (without a sensebender). Is it possible ? I have to make special config ? Thank !
-
@Fabien DualOptiboot is completely radio agnostic. You should not need any custom config to use OTA with DualOptiboot and rfm69. You do need an external flash on your board though.
-
@Anticimex ok but in MYSController is there a way in the GUI for setting the bootloader (DualOptiboot or MYSBootloader) or is ti automatic. I ask this because you have to tell MYSBootloader your are running SenseBender (DualOptiboot).
-
@Fabien yes, select "sensebender"...this will do the trick
-
Thank you @tekka I don't test your new bootloader beacuse I think you don't have RFM69 version (perhaps in th future ?)
-
@Fabien perhaps, will have to get some RFM69 hardware first...
-
@niccodemi said:
@petewill did you have any success finding out how to change default channel?
Sorry, don't know how I missed this. No, I haven't. I got sidetracked (kids) and I haven't had a chance to work on it further.
-
@niccodemi I just was able to upload the bootloader using the files provided by @siklosi posted here http://forum.mysensors.org/topic/2319/how-to-make-complie-mysbootloader/7. The difference is I used a USBASP (V2.0) instead of an UNO. It worked the first time uploading the blink sketch!! It was a pain getting the USBASP to work on Windows 8.1 but after I got the driver installed (and the wiring connections correct) it worked great. I haven't uploaded any sensor sketches yet but hopefully I'll have time to play with it soon.

@petewill thanks, I tried ch77 and it works great.

The type field is intended for defining a FW type, e.g. a node with a DHT humidity/temperature sensor may be FW type 1, whereas a node with a different sensor FW type 2 and so on...

Now that I have sensors that have the correct bootloader I have been able to upload firmware a few times. But now that I have made changed to the sketch and copied the new hex file over I even bumped the version tag in the file. I can't get it to flash. Nothing I do makes it upload the new code? Thoughts?
-
@p0lar are you still able to remotely reboot node?
-
@p0lar Please provide MYSController log with DEBUG enabled for further troubleshooting.
-
Yes I can reboot the node. trying to upload dallastemp to it.
-
@p0lar I do not see any DEBUG nor bootloader messages. Can you update the GW sketch with DEBUG enabled? Also, what bootloader did you flash?
-
Its turned on in MySensors.h and reuploaded
-
But i dont see anything. UNO ethernet GW with SoftSPI enabled
-
Bootloader on the sensors is the one from your firmware directory. on the GW its the standard arduino one... do I need yours on the GW?
-
@p0lar No, GW should have normal (i.e. Arduino) bootloader. However, without DEBUG output it's gonna be hard to diagnose what's wrong - can you double-check your settings and re-upload the GW sketch just to be on the safe side.
Also, I'd like to see the log during a manual reset (not remote reboot) of your node.
-
Thanks. Ill check that when I get back into town end of this week.
-
Hi @tekka,
tried now some evenings to change node-id / clear the eeprom. No luck. FW update works always. After reading the bootloader code I expected myscontroller to send a invalid fwrequestresponse packet with special crc for the bootloader commands. Never showed up in the log.
Myscontroller .282 on Win xp and msbootloader 1.1 on nano. 47uF on nrf. No transmission errors.Any ideas where to look next ? Maybe .278 will do the trick ?
Thanks for your efforts ,

Thank you.I get same message with both 3.3v and 5v pro mini that is linked in the store.
I am using Funduino uno as a ips, and I can flash blink f.eks. using uno as isp, but I cannot flash bootloader. This is the step 6 from the instructions that is failing. Any ideas how to fix this? I would really like OTA as my network is slowly growing.
Thanks for any tips!
-
I think I have flashed MYSBootloader finaly, after ~6hours of trying and reading (persistent guy
)
The instructions are for the older version I guess, right board should be copied from MYSController/bootloader/boards.txt, not from this topic post#75. Now I am trying to figure how to flash the sketch, but I guess that is explained somewhere on the topic
-
Just one more question, I didn't find it answered on the topic (maybe too tired), but:
I have existing network with ethernet gateway and some nodes, and all is working fine. To make it OTA update-able, I need to- i upload ethernet gateway to the Arduino Nano, then flash MYSBootloader on it,
- upload some sketch (which?) on Arduino Mini nodes, and then flash MYSBootloader on it, and then I can program it OTA?
- Or something else?
Or did I miss the point completely?
-
so from what I know.
you DONT need the MYSBootloader on the gateway. just normal arduino bootloader. you DO need the MYSBootloader on ALL the sensors you with to connect to your gateway.
Do the MYSBootloader first then use this tool to upload the firmware to your sensors OTA
-
@dakipro I use the settings mentioned in #75 in Atmel studio, however, AVRDUDE does not support the upper two bits of the lock fuse (therefore the error message 0xFF!=0x3F). Changing the lock bits to 0x3F should do the job.
And yes, as @p0lar pointed out, only the nodes and not the gateway should have MYSBootloader.
-
HMM i cant build a DEBUG version of the ethernet gateway... even when I try to define it and print hello world it wont... weird.. any ideas?
-
Aha, I get it now. Then I just flash MYSBootloader on the sensor, and attach the radio and it will automatically connect to the gateway (it has some sort of sketch/communication with MySensors built in)? And then I use the MYSController to upload my sketch as described?
Or how do I upload a initial sketch if I cannot use arduino anymore?
Btw, I love MYSController, i use it all the time in development as it shows all that is going on with the sensors, thank you very much for developing it!
-
correct. you build the .hex file in arduino studio or whatever and copy it to the MY gui firmware folder and edit the csv file and then reload.

This should help

I thinking I am build a DEBUG version of the GW code. but I dont think the logging is working in the app with my eth GW. am I mising something?
So. when I build a DEBUG version of the GW code I get this in the serial console hex size=29k so its bigger.

0;0;3;0;9;read: 1-1-0 s=1,c=1,t=0,pt=7,l=5,sg=0:71.6
1;1;1;0;0;71.6
0;0;3;0;9;read: 2-2-0 s=1,c=1,t=16,pt=0,l=1,sg=0:0
2;1;1;0;16;0the NON DEBUG I get this. hex size = 26k

Still nothing in the MySensors Debug tab... and only the NON debug info in the log files. maybe this is a ethernet GW issue? So I get debug info in the Arduino Serial monitor but no debug via TCP?

@tekka : I tested the ID reassign by hardcoding the functionality in the serial gw sketch. Reboot node 6, wait for FW_CONFIG_REQUEST, answer with FW_CONFIG_RESPONSE.
Works as expected & described in the MYSBootloader code. Please give me some hint why MYSController does not send the FW_CONFIG_RESPONSE packet with the bootloader commands after the reboot.
I trigger the reassign via the nodeĀ“s context menu in the gui, MYSBootloader Commands --> reassign ID. Anything wrong with that ?
Maybe someone else has an idea what is happening/not happening ? @tekka could you find something in the log file?
Thanks a lot...
-
Has anyone tested successfully reassigning the node-id with MYSBootloader 1.1 and MYSController 1.2.282 ? Would give me some new motivation to hear it's possible and has been done before. At the very moment I m at a dead end.
If it is not working for you, I would also appreciate your feedback.

@tekka
Is the (dev branch) MQTTClientGateway supported by MYSController?I'm in the process of moving from Vera and Ethernet GW, to Openhab with MQTTClient gateway and would love to have the OTA functionality your bootloader and controller provides. I looked at this a while back, but ran out of time to play!
So yeah.. Can MYSController talk with the MQTTClientGateway ( over Ethernet) ?
Cheers,
Greg
-
In answer to my own question... No..it doesnt seem to.. ;-(
I tried with the IP address of my MQTT client gateway board, and port 5003 ( same port that works for my 1.4 Ethernet GW )
It says it connects, but no data flows in....@tekka @hek - Is it unlikely that the MQTTClient Gateway will be usable with MYSController??
If not, would this work?
Have two networks -
1 for MYSController to perform OTA's using a serial gateway on the PC we typically do sketch changes on.2 for normal MySensors operation. When you want to invoke an update, you could send a I_REBOOT command ( MQTT message in my case), which would reboot the node and if i understand correctly, look for an update on the other network channel.
I guess you would loose all the other functionility of MYSController, but at least we could do OTA.
Cheers,
Greg
-
@stebra The log looks normal - is the node directly communicating with the gw or via a repeater? Does the clearEEPROM option work?
-
@gregl MYSController is currently not supporting MQTT, I'll add it to my feature request w/o ETA.
-
@tekka
No repeater, clear eeprom via MYSController gui does not work. Clear eeprom via sketch works, node gets new id after reboot.
My assumption is that MYSController does not respond to the FW_CONFIG_REQU after reboot.
-
@tekka You might not have to. I've been working on Node-Red as a controller and more.
With my kit, you need Node-Red, node-red-contrib-mysensors , Mosquitto, and some of my flows which I have available ( http://forum.mysensors.org/topic/2802/flow-to-turn-serialgateway-into-mqtt-serialgateway ).
And it makes this:
http://forum.mysensors.org/topic/2815/flow-to-turn-serialgateway-with-mqtt-flow-to-ethernetgatewayThe only flaw is that when you first connect MYSController, you need to send a junk topic so that MYSController can receive data. It's a bug/peculiarity with Node-Red, but honestly not a big deal. I'm also working on how to fix even that.
-
@tekka
Can you verify it works for you? Do you see any response packets with the bl commands in your log?
-
First time i try OTA. Everything went well until fw update (Pro mini). It sends/recieve like 20-30 packages, and then ends. I need to reconnect Myscontroller and it will start to flow again. I can see there is requests from node on gw led, but nothing comes through in Myscontroller (.282). Using 2.0b ethernet gw. Its just like either GW stops sending to Myscontroller or Myscontroller doesnt accept it. Also getting in domoticz that "MySensors: Connection reset!" Do i need to disconnect Domoticz while I do updates?
Any clues?
Edit: Sorry, jepp - needs to disconnect Domoticz and it works... I bet its those new gateway pings from Domoticz killing it.
-
A quick one: How long does the OTA takes for Blink sketch?
I press update FW, it start rolling and the node changes status from "fw updating" to "booting" but then goes back to fw updating... have been going like this for a long time now (1000 packages sent/recieved).
Also - is it possible to upload via fdti with MYSBootloader or you need to use OTA?
Edit: somethings is not right, its rebooting or starting over again:

Fortunately a helpful guy gave me your bootloader 1.3 beta, which fixes the problem with nonworking bootloader commands. It seems I was not the first one asking you...
For all others trying the bootloader commands in bootloader 1.1 : this does not work at all, and you are only wasting your time.
I would really appreciate if the code for bl 1.3 was on github also. I do not mind if its beta only...

@stebra The 1.3 is a closed beta and is not supposed to be distributed (ping @niccodemi). It is not supported in any terms nor should it be used in a productive environment, the compatibility to any library version is not guaranteed.
Currently, there is ongoing work for MYSBootloader 2.0 and the ETA is tbd, same for the code.
-
@sundberg84 Please upload MYSController log with DEBUG enabled.

Hello @tekka,
is the feature 'save nodes' supposed to be working or WIP? With every start of MYSController I get a blank page and have to wait for every sensor to appear. At the moment that's not a big problem for me because of only 3 sensors, but already got a doubled ID once because new sensor requested an ID before the old #1 was recognized.
Thanks a lot for your work with the controller, it's great.

Hi, just found this so downloaded and installed. Went to config to see what was there and selected TCP/IP tab to turn it off as it is not on a network and I only need Serial. The thing locks up and crashes and I have to use Task Manager to end it.Is there some way to start it without it trying to access 192.168.0.5?

Hello everyone,
I am new to the forum, I really appreciate your community.
I embarked on the adventure of MySensors and naturally, I leaned on OTA. To do so, I followed your tutorial but I have a problem when sending the FW on the node.
My setup:
ā¢ 1 Arduino Mega with nRF24L01+ which I use serial gateway
ā¢ 1 Arduino mini pro 3.3 volts for 8 mhz node (single sketch that sends a random data every 5 seconds)
ā¢ Arduino IDE 1.6.7
ā¢ MySensors libraries 1.5.3
ā¢ MYSController_0_1_2_282The mini pro flashed with the bootloader (MYSBootloader 1.1), I can detect through MYSController application where it is named "Booting: 65 ... - 65 ...", I right click on it and send the skit "blink" .
Sometimes I manage to push the "blink" directly and other times must be repeated 2-3 times (that's a lot of times, I grant you ļ). What is troubling is that at that time, I see the LED 13 of the mini pro flashed at a steady pace, but in MYSController, it is always named "booting ..." and to name the sketch "null".
Afterwards, when I try to put my sketch, it loads but still in a loop with an error when it reaches 100% "FW update on the failed node = 1" and then starts again at 0% and so on.
I hope you will refer me.
Thank you.
