Windows GUI/Controller for MySensors

[tekka]

Hi all,

I've been working on this project since some time, basically it's a GUI for controlling/updating/debugging a network of MySensors nodes. OTA functionality is supported via MYSBootloader - read posts for further instructions/troubleshooting or PM.

link updated: MYSController Version 1.0.0.3316 released

New features:

• support OTA FW update Sensebender board
• metric/imperial system I_CONFIG
• save nodes

Update via update button in MYSController or download here.

This is very, very cool! It connects to Ethernet or does it also do serial?

[tekka]

both. in my setup i'm using a serial over tcp approach (NAS: serial gateway & ser2net)- fw loading is substantially faster and more stable compared to the ethernet gateway.

@tekka
Very nice approach, this could also work on other boxes where serial interfaces are not exclusively opened.

@tekka

You plan to share this, or provide the sources?

It looks indeed verry nice ;)

Good work man! im make a controller in .net!

[tekka]

@ericvdb yes, I will provide a link soon
@ch3b7 cool :+1: , are you also implementing tcp connections?

[ch3b7]

yes but at now im not have a ethernet shield right now =( and i need to work with the optiboot/OTA bootloader part and dont know where find that part "request" "send" all that info. sorry my bad english im from argentina.!

[daulagari]

Yes, looks really nice!

Seems to be written in TK so cross-platform, even better!

[gregl]

Wow...really nice. Cant wait to give it a go!

[diamantmatch]

wow, this is something!
would really love to set this up at home!
i also can't wait for your link to appear, really exited !

[Tibus]

Yeah, really looks nice!
Can't wait too for the link and more info about de OTA bootloader.
I'm making some industrial opensources sensor based on MySensor and my current bootloader don't have an OTA Bootloader. So it would be greate with your Bootloader and your application!

Nice.... Following

This looks very interesting. Seems like it will make remote debugging easy, ie can run this on a PC at home and RDP into it.

Also Following. Very keen to try this!

Will this program act like a controller (take the place of Vera?) and handle automation logic?

hi all,

here is the first alpha version of the MYSController (I changed the name).

There are still lots of things that need to be done and some bugs :), but feel free to give it a try. I included the modified bootloader (flash according to the settings in the fuses.txt file) and two example .hexs for testing/uploading. From my experience, the OTA works better/faster using the serial gateway.

Cheers,
tekka

Got it working first try! Can see data coming back from my Temp and Hum sensors!

Looks like a great tool.

Thank you!

@tekka

here is the first alpha version of the MYSController

:+1:

Saw it was a Windows executable but did give it a try on Linux:

wine MYSController.exe

And the GUI comes up nicely!

I can not select the serial port yet, so could not test it further, likely have to do some mapping in wine.

Yepp.. GUI comes up on mac using wine as well. Will try tomorrow when I have an Arduino nearby.
