Windows GUI/Controller for MySensors

[Mark Swift]

Did anyone figure out how to get MySensors debug messages to show? My sketch has debug uncommented and I can see them via serial, but not in the app?

[tekka]

@Mark-Swift The MySensors debug tab only shows gateway debug messages (not sensor debug).

[Mark Swift]

@tekka Yeah, I get that, that's what I'm struggling with. I have the debug line uncommented on my ESP8266 gateway, but see nothing in the mysensors debug tab? I'm using the latest beta build as I run 2.0.0.

Also, I've asked a couple of times, is the default firmware pre release 1.3 bootloader (16mhz) suitable in its default state for both my Uno's and Nano's?

Thanks in advance,

Mark

[tekka]

@Mark-Swift the ESP8266 GW is not sending debug msgs over TCP/IP - only over the serial console.
And yes, MYSBootloader 1.3pre/16Mhz is suitable for Uno and Nano V3 (both share the same atmega328p mcu)

[Mark Swift]

@tekka That explains it then Thank you very much for the confirmations!

[pdey]

@Mark-Swift : If you're happy to modify the MySensors library in an unsupported way, I've added a logMessage function to transmit text/debug messages from remote nodes:
https://github.com/peterdey/MySensors-Arduino/commit/f5f339b71620ec3cd896304a2ca6aba40ad40218

Found it useful, particularly in conjunction with MYSController OTA firmware updates.

[Mark Swift]

@pdey Let me get this straight, this allows me to see the serial debug messages from my nodes running the modified boot loader? That would be a dream come true, I really miss debug messages...

Thank you!

[pdey]

@Mark-Swift: You'll need to replace Serial.Print with node.logMessage - but yes, I use it for transmitting debug messages, wirelessly, to the controller.

No gateway modifications required (the gateway will just pass the message over to the controller). Old versions of MYSController (e.g. 0.1.2.276) would actually show the debug messages as a LOG_MESSAGE in the "Messages" tab; later versions hide it away in the "Debug" tab.

[Mark Swift]

@pdey That's fantastic, the only thing I was missing with the modified boot loader was debug...

@hek @tekka Any reason why we can't implement this into development, it seems a great feature.

Now if I can only figure out how to apply @pdey 's fix to the current dev branch....

[gonzalonal]

Hi @tekka ,
Just starting testing beta version and it looks really nice. Thanks for sharing this great tool.
I usually use it to debug mysensors network.

I think I have found a little bug regarding message subtype.
For example, when I choose to send a message using as subtype V_VAR1, it sends out as V_VAR4.
To actually send it as V_VAR1 I have to choose as Subtype V_HVAC_FLOW_STATE.

Can someone try this in their MYSController Beta 1.0.0beta so as to verify if it is only happening to me, or is a funny bug in the beta.

Once againg, thank you very much.
Regards.
Gonzalo

[Dirk_H]

@gonzalonal @tekka
Yes I can confirm the exact same behaviour gonzalonal describes. Please say if you need any more details tekka (with the @ function).

[tekka]

@Dirk_H @gonzalonal This has been fixed in the most recent build (3314). Thanks for reporting.
=> update pushed.

[tekka]

@pdey Filtering I_LOG_MESSAGE from the main message tab can be (de)activated in the settings.

[Mark Swift]

@tekka I've tried to apply @pdey 's change to the current dev branch; but due to the recent refactoring, wasn't successful - I'll keep trying.

Would you happen to have any other suggestions how we can get debug messages back to the controller from remote nodes? Some of my nodes are running some fairly complex code and without debug it becomes a tedious task.

Many thanks in advance,

Mark

[vikasjee]

Was @pdey 's change applied to the dev branch?

Any suggestions for debug messages to the controller from remote nodes?

[Harrdy]

My current running setup is a Arduino via USB-Serial attached to a Arduino with my Controller Software. But i want to use this Windows Controller at the same time. Anyone a idea how i can do this (local serial and serial2net at the same time on the same serial device)? if i start the serial2net my raspberry controller is broken and can't connect to the arduino usb serial but the serial2net work.

[tekka]

@Harrdy you can use the "GW mode" in the latest release and have your controller pointing to your PC's IP.

[Harrdy]

Thanks @ @tekka I saw the button "gw mode" but pimatic unfortunately only supports serial gateways. so if i use the "gw mode" i need a package like net2ser (instead of ser2net). But i think something like that does not exist

edit:
okay, it works with socat

sudo socat -d -d pty,link=/dev/ttyPimaticGW,raw,echo=0,waitslave tcp:192.168.170.32:5003;

[tekka]

@Harrdy cool, thanks for reporting

[Anduril]

@Harrdy I made the experience that a socat tcp tunnel is not stable all the time. I was trying to establish a connection between my ESP8266 gateway and a serial port (to be used with pimatic), but that tended to disconnect after few hours/days. This was also reported by other users in the pimatic forum. But maybe this is only a problem in relation with a ESP gateway.
I would just recommend to check your connection regularly.
If it is also unstable for you, I am testing node-red for that purpose at the moment and it looks promising. I will report when testing is finished.

[techRH]

Maybe this helps any one else:
I run openHAB on a RPI3 and i have made a Mysensors serial GW on a arduino nano.
I want to use openHAB for the interface and MySController for the managment. So i need to forward my serial communication to a TCP socket.

ser2net is a nice tool works fast but it block the Serial connection for openHAB.
socat works better for me by executing the following command:
$ sudo socat tcp-l:5003,reuseaddr,fork file:/dev/mySensorsCOM,nonblock,waitlock=/var/run/mySensorsCOM.lock

next step will be to put it in a script and sends the process to the background and restarts it if there went something go's wrong.

[Anduril]

@Harrdy there is a ethernet branch of the mysensors plugin for pimatic now under development. You can have a look at the mysensors thread in the pimatic forum to find the instructions.

[robosensor]

Does anyone know how to allow multiple TCP connections forwarded to one MYS tty port? This socat command blocks second TCP connection until first one disconnected.

I just want to connect MYSController using TCP without disconnecting my custom MQTT<=>serial controller script. I'm using RPi with USB-serial gateway.

P.S. @tekka is there any chances that MQTT access will be implemented in MYSController?

$ sudo socat tcp-l:5003,reuseaddr,fork file:/dev/mySensorsCOM,nonblock,waitlock=/var/run/mySensorsCOM.lock

[jmkhael]

@tekka great work! thank you for sharing this.
Your controller and great contribution had me quickly started with mysensors. I am interested in a way to do OTA updates using MYSController via api or a script call or even rewriting the logic in an outside code. I'll try to explain the need based on my setup below.

Given that I am using jeedom right now as a controller, but sadly it doesn't seem to support yet OTA updates. I'd like to be able to reuse or even contribute to this feature and I'd appreciate pointers to start doing that.
My setup has it that jeedom runs off a raspi and has a mysensors serial gateway attached. (1 to 2 Watts draw for this setup). MYSController can work as an ethernet relay gateway, but if I understand correctly I have to run it on windows (more moving parts), or a much hungrier box than my raspi.

Is there a way I can make that work somehow? I am ready and appreciate any type of suggestions with the current setup I have or an evolution which goes into that direction.

[Anduril]

@robosensor you could try nodered. It can connect multiple inputs (mqtt, tcp,...) and merge it to a single serial output and vice versa. You might have to add some logic, but that shouldn't be a problem.

[pdey]

@robosensor I wrote a bridge to use on the Linino side of the Arduino Yun for this:
https://github.com/peterdey/Yun-Linino-NewBridge

But there's no reason you couldn't use this on an rPi - you'll probably just need to turn the baud rate down to 115200.

[tekka]

@jmkhael You can use "GW mode" (=proxy mode) in the tab bar

[techRH]

I thought the socat command is to slow in switching so i have created a python script which will readout the mysensors serial GW and sends the data to a virtual serial port to connect to openhab and a TCP socket for the MySensors controller.

https://github.com/Rutger798/serial_to_serial_and_tcp/blob/master/serial_to_serial_and_tcp.py

[dopeeye]

How do i use MYSController with a Raspberry Pi ?
I have a RPi2 with a NRF24 radio as a gateway and want to troubleshoot some communication issues i have been having. I usually log into the RPi2 via ssh to make adjustments.
Can I just download the files and rund the .exe via command-line?

Thanks

[Anduril]

I think it's windows software only. If you want to use it this way you should make you gateway device accessible via ethernet, maybe socat or nodered is an option for you.

[dopeeye]

ok thanks for clarifying.

gonna give the node-red a try

is it possible to use with mysensor 2.0 API ?

[interxis]

Very cool. It also works on Ubuntu with Wine.
You have to create a COM port like this:

ln -s /dev/ttyUSB0 ~/.wine/dosdevices/com1

[karlheinz2000]

How do I get MYSController to save info about each node?
I always have to set "battery-powered" after each upload and it does not save sketch name etc.

[meanmrgreen]

Ok this might be a realy stupid question but im what you call a "nuub"

If i want to monitor my current setup (serial gateway on a pi3) on windows/mint. Do i build another gateway and plug it in the pc?

Sorry if i missed the instructions on this

[tekka]

@meanmrgreen no, you can only have one GW in your setup. You could connect your GW to the PC, configure it for serial input, enable GW mode and have your rpi controller pointing at it (IP).

[meanmrgreen]

@tekka
How about I'f i replace my serial with a Ethernet gw?

Do not want my pc running all the time. Just to debug

[Samuel235]

Hi @tekka - I'm currently running OpenHAB connected to mysensors by a GatewayW5100MQTTClient gateway and at the moment I have to manual upgrades to the nodes by disconnecting them and plugging them into the PC and recompiling all the software for each node. Would there be any way around this setup? I would like to keep OpenHAB as my controller and I really like the MQTT Client software too. Its simple and it just works for me. However, i would be open to change from MQTT if needed.

What is your recommendation of implementing MYScontroller to use for OTA firmware updates only?

[Anduril]

@tekka how do I initiate a reboot of a node from gateway side? I don't know how, but it's needed for updating OTA. Thanks in advance.

[techRH]

@Anduril said in Windows GUI/Controller for MySensors:

itiate a reboot of a node from gateway side? I don't know how, but it's needed for updating OTA. Th

Right click on the node and than "reboot"

[Anduril]

@techRH that doesn't work for the new bootloader/MySensors 2.x

[tekka]

@Anduril it does work, unless your node is sleeping and not able to process incoming messages

[Anduril]

@tekka ok and whats the way to deal with sleeping nodes? Do I have to add a wait(xx) to receive reboot commands?

[tekka]

@Anduril The solution is to use smart sleep. If you are on MySensors 2.1.x, use:

sleep(xyz_MS, true);

This will issue a heartbeat message followed by a short wait() interval to process incoming messages, and finally send the node to sleep. The heartbeat message triggers the release of pending messages (i.e. reboot request) in MYSController (node has to be defined as battery-powered / sleeping node).

In the upcoming MySensors 2.2.0 release we will introduce a dedicated sleep intention message.

[Anduril]

@tekka thanks for your hint. Is smartsleep supported if the controller (pimatic) does not? So do I get problems when using withoug MYSController for debug?

And another thing is that this node tries to save power and only sends updates if values have changed. So using smartsleep and sending a messag every sleep cycle would be against that. Can I simply put a wait(50) after the first message sending is triggered? What would be the necessary time to do wait(x)?

[tekka]

@Anduril Yes, smartsleep is just a sequence of events (sending heartbeat message, wait(default=500), sleep()) that gives the controller the possibility to react before the node is going to sleep.

[dirkc]

I have problems using the OTA feature with MYSController.

1. "undefined firmware/type" reported.
   My setup:

• ESP8266 Gateway 2.1.1
• MYSController Version 1.0.0beta (build 3314)
• atmega328p chip with own pcb, internal osc 8MHz, and MYSBootloaderV13pre.hex (taken from the same zip file as MYSController.exe)

The log file in MYSController shows "undefined firmware/type" :

Where can I find the latest software (exe and boot loader)?

1. the "Reload repo" toolbar button is always greyed, but the "firmware_config" is available, has all entries and the hex files are in the same directory.

2. is there a more detailed description available for the columns of the "firmware_config" file?

thanks in advance

[tekka]

@dirkc If you are using MYSBootloader there is no need to define MY_OTA_FIRMWARE_FEATURE since the FW update happens offline, see here for additional infos.

See here for a firmware_config.csv example:

Type,Name,Version,File,Comments
1,DoorSensor_V1,1,DoorSensorV1.hex,Door sensor version 1

Here a screenshot when MSController crash.

When I click on "request presentation", same error.

This error is only with SerialGateway & Library 2.2.0 beta
With library 2.1.1that's ok

[tekka]

@romeo01 Thanks for reporting, this is a known issue with build 3314 and lib 2.2.0: The msg parser requires some changes - build 3316 is in preparation (also supporting new 2.2.0 features).

[siod]

Hi, I am trying your software but I only get "connection refused" though in the status bar it says Connected... what can I do?

[vikasjee]

@tekka hi, can we access the previous build if that is working for MySensors2.1.1?

[tekka]

@siod Seems like something is wrong with your GW - either GW is not working or too many connections.

[tekka]

@vikasjee What build are you looking for?

[vikasjee]

@tekka , I upgraded Arduino IDE from 1.6.0 to 1.8.2 recently. Burnt the gateway with the MySensors2.1.1 gateway sketch and the nodes bootloader with MysBootloader1.3.0beta3 from the master branch on github.

As per my understanding the Node with MysBootloader should connect to the Gateway (checked with MysController 1.0beta b3314) where i can specify the Firmware for this new node. But i am not able to get the Node entry in the left hand side tree in MysController. Upon checking the MysController Debug, there are a stream of messages from the node but are being endlessly repeated:

I am unable to get to the root of the problem... and could not find any mention of a similar problem on this forum (searched far and wide )

Any pointers to a solution or hint of what may be wrong will definitely help me save time...

[vikasjee]

@tekka , there seems to be an issue with the build 3314 and MYSBootloader for MySensors 2.1.1,as noted above. Any good, working previous version should do...

[vikasjee]

@tekka please help with the MysController build 3312 if that one works with MYSBootloader for MySensors 2.1.1 master.

[tekka]

@vikasjee Apologies for the late reply. This issue is not related to MYSController:
The debug log hints to some issues with the radio (range, connection) and/or power supply (node does not receive the find_parent_response message), please double-check the wiring, power supply (appropriate caps on both, GW and node), change the distance between GW and node, or try with different radio modules.

[vikasjee]

@tekka No Issues. Thanks for the response.

I have tried all of these with all my 35 radios (were all working before the upgrade) and equal number of nodes!

I will go through all this sequence once again though... Thanks for clearing the doubts on MYSController build. Indebted!

[swiss]

Newbie can't make it happen...

I've been struggling for the last couple of days, trying to make the mysensors world to fly. But unfortunately i have no success so i will try to post one of my many trials, would be very glad if you could let me know what i'm missing...

Hardware:

• Aurduino Mini Pro
• W5100 ETH interface
• long-distance NRF24L01 (Gateway)
• NRF24L01+ 2.4GHz Antenna Wireless Transceiver Module (Sensor)

Software:

• https://github.com/mysensors/MySensors/blob/master/examples/GatewayW5100/GatewayW5100.ino (Gateway)
• https://github.com/mysensors/MySensorsArduinoExamples/blob/master/examples/BinarySwitchSensor/BinarySwitchSensor.ino (Sensor)

All i did was to load both sketch to the according mini.
Of course changing the IP of the gateway.

I can ping the gateway using Windows terminal, but i can't access the gateway using the MYSController. As soon i try to dicover any node the connection is terminated by the remot side (entry in the debug window of MYSCtrl)

If i did understand it correct i do not have to load the Bootloader as of now (as long i do not need OTA)

Any help would be highly appriciated,
matt

Welcome to the MySensors community @swiss
What does the debug output from the gateway say?
How is the gateway powered?

If you haven't already, take a look at https://forum.mysensors.org/topic/666/debug-faq-and-how-ask-for-help/ for the most common problems and how to fix them.

[swiss]

@mfalkvidd
wow that was quick
The gateway is powered thru a breadboard 3.3V psu.
Here is teh log dump of the gateway:

@swiss could you post the entire log?

EDIT: How much current can the breadboard psu provide? Which capacitor(s) are you using?

[mfalkvidd]

and yes, you are correct that bootloader is only needed for FOTA.

@mfalkvidd
the psu provides 350 mA

[mfalkvidd]

ok. So from the log parser we see that the gateway sends a response to the id request, but the node keeps requesting a new id anyway.

Could you post the log from the node?

[mfalkvidd]

@swiss which capacitor(s) do you use? The nrf radio is extremely sensitive to power fluctuations.

at the moment i have no capacitors in place since i thought the communication was ok...

[mfalkvidd]

@swiss ok. No use to troubleshoot further without capacitors.

[swiss]

@mfalkvidd
ok sorry will ad them right now - sorry for using your time

thank you so much for kicking me into the right direction...

If understand it correct it got feedback from parent and is now requesting its id ? correct?
Is it correct that the ID should come from the Controller, in my case the Myscontroller ?
unfortunately i cant connect the controller to the Gateway, is there anything else i can check beside the IP and the port ?

thank you so much for your assistance would really love to make it happen...
matt

[mfalkvidd]

@swiss yes, that's correct.

What does the gateway log say when you connect the controller?

Here is the log of the gateway, it starts when i press "discover" on the software (after i connected)

but no node is found... and if i press discover again i got error 10054 in the software and the connection is terminated by the remote...

[mfalkvidd]

@swiss I would guess you are using Arduino AVR board version 1.6.19 (check in the board manager). If that is the case, the solution seems to be to downgrade. See https://forum.mysensors.org/post/72423

[swiss]

MAN,YOU ARE MY HERO!!!
IT WORKS - THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR SUPPORT
TAKE CARE

[mfalkvidd]

@swiss great! Thanks for reporting back.

How can I increase the number of blocks greater than 2048?

[2017-12-05 16:04:36.925 Info] REPO FW "STM32_RS485_Node_Relay" loaded. t=100, v=7, blocks=2048, crc=0xCC88

For STM32F407ZGT6, it may take up to 65k blocks. And in the controller, I understand it is a hard limit on 2048?

[robosensor]

Is it OK?

https://www.virustotal.com/#/file/6082b86e6a56783e692afaa7c6d79e5af0d6ca58476ef7e180a39594ce441cd7/detection

No such warnings/detections for .282 version.

Hi all

I have an issue which I've documented in the Troubleshooting section. When I've searched for a resolution, this program has been mentioned. What I'm trying to do is get my controller to see the part of the gateway sketch that references a sensor that I added. Can this program help? What does this program actually do?

[scalz]

@Homer
Try it
It's a handy controller software for debugging MySensors.

[kalj]

This is quite a nice piece of software! You have suggested you are going to release the sources at some point. Maybe that time is now? It would be great to see if it can be ported to Linux!

[mickecarlsson]

Bug in MYScontroller.
When I edit the file firmware_config.csv and set a version number with a decimal the output in the debug is wrong.
This is my file:

Type,Name,Version,File,Comments
10,Blink,1,Blink.ino.hex,blinking example
20,Tvattstugan-2,3,Tvattstugan-2.ino.hex,Testar Flash
30,Tvattstugan,2,Tvattstugan.ino.hex,Tvattstugan
40,Sovrummet,2.1,Sovrummet.ino.hex,Sovrummet

Note that I have 2.1 as the version in 40, Sovrummet.
But when I load the repo in MYSController v is 65535:

2021-02-13 17:06:37	REPO	FW "Blink" loaded. t=10, v=1, blocks=80, crc=0x46D4
2021-02-13 17:06:37	REPO	FW "Tvattstugan-2" loaded. t=20, v=3, blocks=1488, crc=0x6D13
2021-02-13 17:06:37	REPO	FW "Tvattstugan" loaded. t=30, v=2, blocks=960, crc=0xBB4F
2021-02-13 17:06:37	REPO	FW "Sovrummet" loaded. t=40, v=65535, blocks=936, crc=0x6AB3
2021-02-13 17:06:37	REPO	FW repository loaded. Items=4

And in the GUI the version is also 65535.

Actually there are two bugs.
If I add (sloppy I know) more empty lines at the end in the firmware_config.csv file I get this in the debug:

2021-02-13 17:13:35	REPO	FW "Blink" loaded. t=10, v=1, blocks=80, crc=0x46D4
2021-02-13 17:13:35	REPO	FW "Tvattstugan-2" loaded. t=20, v=3, blocks=1488, crc=0x6D13

2021-02-13 17:13:35	ERROR	2107-15-31 is not a valid date specification

Other than that, great piece of software. Thanks.

Download seems unavailable. Could you please update the link?

[mickecarlsson]

Here is a version that I downloaded a long time ago.
EDIT: It seems that I can't upload files. Bummer. PM me if you want the file.

[Mac65]

@tekka can you provide sources of this project?
Thanks
