@derwish I haven't experimented with it yet.

Wow, this is really smart thinking and I've just installed with one gateway and one sensor.
Well done, thank you.

Newbie here , could some one please show me how to do a timer for a relay ? my gateway and my relay are already connected to Mynodes but so far i haven't been able to make it switch on or off
thanks for any help

[derwish]

@oscarc To start, just plug UI/Toggle. It will send "1" / "0" in your device. You got it in the firmware of the Arduino. When this will work, try different timers. For example, UI/Timer. You'll see its interface in dashboard. Schedule it to send "1" at the right time. If you have any problems, write me (info@mynodes.net) and I'll help you via Skype.

@Greg-McFadyen Thank you.

Guys, if you make an interesting panels, share file/screenshot here.
I want to make panels for various kinds of RGB-LED fades for the party. I would be grateful if you help.

@derwish Thank you ,I'll give it a try .

This is soooooooo great. I been trying to program something like this for month but as a total N00B it has been harder then I thought. Got a hold bunch off ideas to expand this. :)

1. Email Node - Send mail message
2. Send message to Azure IoT hub
3. Resive message from Azure
4. Send Message to Azure mobile hub for Push notifications
5. Read From External Database
6. Write To External Database

Couple of questians
Is it possible to run this as a service in windows and not as a console app?
Is it possible to make it work on Windows IoT ?

And again super nice gateway alot of thx.

@keldandorin Hi. I've added your ideas to my task list. Thank you. If you can program in C#, you can try to do it yourself. Read documentation for developers.
I haven't experimented with Windows IOT yet, but it certainly works under Linux on the raspberry.
On about the service, I'll look for options, how to do it. It is a necessary thing for me too.

[keldandorin]

@derwish Cool. I have working code for sending and resiveing messages from azure. Read the dev documents and will try to make a node as soon as I can.

Hi,

I'm really interested in this software, but I'm also a .NET beginer. I got an issue when executing web.cmd ==> "dnx.win32.dll could not be loaded. Last error : 87"...

Is there someone who could tell me what is going wrong ?

[derwish]

@lordsidney This error occurs on Windows 7, if you have not installed the system update. https://github.com/aspnet/dnx/issues/3213

Any plans to support the MQTT gateway.. I'm finding I want to use multiple controllers but I find the Ethernet gateway supports only so many connections so I want to move towards using MQTT.

[derwish]

@Qu3Uk I haven't built MQTT gateway yet. There is a sense to experiment with it?

This looks very interesting!

A couple of questions

• does it require a special mySensor version? I have setup an esp8266 with the most recent github in the stable branch, but the gateways doesn't seem to want to respond to myNodes. The gateway works just fine with veralite
• any way to pull other veralite zwave devices through the gateway? It would complement the vets really well!

[derwish]

@sle118 I haven't checked esp8266 gateway. I'll try to build it soon and check it out. The controller should work with any version.
I will add support for zwave devices, as soon as I get one. So far, I have not.

Hi

I saw someone was trying to create a Docker container for it. Yet I do not seems to get it going.
Did anyone succeed ?
I would love to run it on my Synology to replace Home Assistant.

Cheers

Finally had some time to get this beauty (& contest winner) working... my first experiences:

Installation

• I got completely lost in the Raspberry installation. So many installs, waiting, not knowing what I'm doing and failure messages... so I decided to move to an old notebook on windows 10. Worked in a few minutes :-)

Experience
Set up my just designed Wind sensor. Connected a serial gateway and there it was, including graphing etc.
The Wind sensor is a multiple sensor node: i.e.:

• S_WIND with V_GUST, V_DIRECTION & V_WIND
• S_BARO with V_BARO
• S_TEMP with V_TEMP

All S_types were created in the node but with only one V_TYPE and only one output for S_WIND showing a last sent value (either gust -or- direction -or- wind (speed). So something going wrong here.

Other: working smooth, intuitive, many (yet undiscovered) features.

I will keep posting my findings..

@AWI Hi.

You're right. The installation process on Linux is a bit confusing. There is a video on my YouTube channel where I showed all the steps. This will help. Microsoft will soon release ASP.NET5 RC2. It should simplify installation on Linux. Then I will release 2.1 using the new framework and add new functionality.

Currently, the controller works according to this scheme: one sensor - one type of data. I tried to make it so that one sensor gave different data, but it caused a lot of problems, so I decided to leave it as is for now.
The main problem is that when any of the nodes registered in the network, it does not transmit what data types it operates. But the controller need to know what types of data can be sent to the node to draw a pin for each type. I can make these manual settings. But I don't know how to make it work automatically. If someone will write how it is implemented in other controllers, I will do the same.

[AWI]

@derwish What i know from other controllers are 2 variations..

1. When an S_ type is created, all related V_ types are part of it (i.e. S_MULTIMETER with V_VOLTAGE, V_CURRENT, V_IMPEDANCE)
2. A received V_type initiates the creation of the respective value depending on the S_types received before (Domoticz)

Personally I think the first is the most comprehensive and complete.
