@d-smes thank you to gave a try with MyController.org. Could you please see your log file is there any error? logs/mycontroller.log

jkandasa

@d-smes can you see other sensors in MyController page? other than sensor id 0

d-smes

@jkandasa Yep, error log full of the same sets of errors. Example of one error pair:

2015-09-16 11:41:55,150 WARN [Thread-3] [org.mycontroller.standalone.db.dao.SensorDaoImpl:52] Sensor:[org.mycontroller.standalone.db.tables.Sensor@e7f65f[id=<null>,sensorId=0,type=<null>,messageType=38,name=<null>,updateTime=<null>,status=<null>,lastValue=<null>,unit=<null>,node=org.mycontroller.standalone.db.tables.Node@18dbb32[id=4,name=<null>,version=<null>,updateTime=<null>,type=<null>,mySensorsVersion=<null>,batteryLevel=<null>,eraseEEPROM=<null>,firmware=<null>]]], Sensser Id should be in the range of 1~254

The clue appears to be "Sensser Id should be in the range of 1~254"

Nodes with multiple sensors show e.g. sensors 1- 11 but not sensor 0.

jkandasa

@d-smes My bad it was a mistake, I understand wrongly like, we will not have sensor id 0, should have only from 1~254, now corrected and will allowed 0~254 id,

you have to stop your mycontroller server and replace lib/mycontroller-standalone-0.0.2-alpha2-single.jar with the fix http://www.filedropper.com/mycontroller-standalone-002-alpha2-single

diggs

Just wondering if it is possible to run two controllers side by side both looking at the same serial port?

i.e. can I run Domoticz and MyController at the same time in serial mode with the one gateway or would it cause issues?

jkandasa

@diggs for my knowledge we could not share same port directly for two applications. We may need to use some adapters for this operation. I do not know how much it is possible.

etrombly

@diggs I was looking into doing the same thing. There are ways to duplicate a serial port using utilities like socat that should work. I was having issues with one side of the redirect disconnecting when there was no data to read. I was thinking of just writing up a quick python utility that would have the features I wanted. ser2net would work well, but it only redirects the port to the network, it doesn't do local redirection.

ericvdb

@jkandasa Would it be possible to add a graph for the battery percentage?

jkandasa

@ericvdb Thank you for your interest with MyController.org. I have created a request for battery percentage. Kindly update your thoughts on this https://github.com/mycontroller-org/mycontroller/issues/14

How often node sends battery percentage?

That depends on your sketch. I update battery every hour, but only if there are changes.

Thank you - This is what I have been looking for. I was getting ready to write my own which I did not have time for. It is simple displays the data that is needed and easy to debug. The other controllers I tried I spent more time debugging because of the bloat. I can not focus on my sensor development.

davidbd

Nice ! Very clean GUI !

I installed this controller on RPI with serial gateway and it works like a charm with two TEMP sensors.

It will be good if you can use the RPI GPIO to connect directly to NRF24 RF module instead on adding the serial gateway ( see http://iot-playground.com ..)

I wish you good luck with this project.

GertSanders

Actually, you can add the NRF24 directly to the Raspberry and use it as a gateway at the same time:

Yes, I have plan to implement NRF24l01 directly. I have to learn more about how mysensors gateway is working. Also planing to implement RPI GPIO port access from MyController.org directly

I wish you good luck with this project.

Thank you! @davidbd

Thank you @GertSanders let me have a look. As MyController.org is designed with pure Java language I have to implement with some wrapper or with the help of pi4j module

@jkandasa
I used the Raspberry version of Mysensors gateway for software to set up a serial gateway. Then Inadded a symlink link with shorter name so domoticz could see it. If your software can detect the normal ttyMySensorGateway then no need for a symlink.
Hardware toconnect radio and raspberry is simple interconnect with GPIO. Same connections as with wire. I made a little board for it. Link to that is also somewhere on the forum.

@GertSanders This is nice, I guess no need to change anything in MyController software. Let me check this and update you. Thank you.

jkandasa

@GertSanders @davidbd Just now I tested https://github.com/mysensors/Raspberry with MyController.org server it is working perfectly. Thank you very much! you guys saved hardware cost and added direct NRF24 support to MyController.org :smiley:

I did all the steps as root user (running MyController.org server also as a root user). Kindly let me know if you face any issues.

Install https://github.com/mysensors/Raspberry and connect NRF24L01+ as mentioned on the page.

Now we have to point-out ttyMySensorsGateway port to MyController.org server via it is configuration file

Stop your MyController server change a line,
File Name: mycontroller/conf/mycontroller.properties

mcc.serialport.name=/dev/ttyMySensorsGateway

Start your MyController server. That is it :)
