Hi jkandasa,

Amazing job on the MyController. I am trying to install on raspi. Post installation and setting up java, when tried to start. It does not start, below isw the log file.

@Suresh-Mali You have to upgrade your java version to 1.8 or later. For raspi Oracle java is recommended with MyController.

@jkandasa Thanks, Got it working after updating Java 8JDK, which installed JRE1.8

Is there a page that I can request for features or changes, like There is no section which shows me information about the type of gateway configured and if its working or not.

Suresh Mali

On using I had a couple of questions.

How do I configure more than 1 type of gateway. I have a node which runs using ESP8266 and has DHT11 to read Temp+Hum. Its loaded with EasyESP. Its send data through MQTT. And at the same time Raspi is configured with serial gateway using NRF24L01.
Add edit option for Timers.

@Suresh-Mali Nice! Yes, you have to raise bugs, features requests in github issues section

@Suresh-Mali MyController designed to support only one gateway, It can be either serial, eathernet, MQTT or NRF24L01 (via RPI).
You can attach your DHT11 with NRF24L01, so we can access it from RPI serial gateway.

Add edit option for Timers.

Created a feature request for Timers edit option

@jkandasa nice release. this is working well.
for others who run into this.
i couldn't get mine to start. i looked at the logs and read that i should stop - rm db file - start
and that worked.

@mvader Thank you! I forget to mention this. You did it!!

0.0.2-alpha5 version has huge changes in database, Hence I could not support for upgrade. I'm sorry for that.

jkandasa

Your requests are in 0.0.2-alpha5, Kindly check it.

@diggs Export Sensor Data - https://github.com/mycontroller-org/mycontroller/issues/6

@mvader Support for DualOptiboot-bootloader - https://github.com/mycontroller-org/mycontroller/issues/25 I do not have hardware, Could you please check this feature on your setup?

@bpair Add support for Metric or Imperial - https://github.com/mycontroller-org/mycontroller/issues/26 and Retry Serial Port and Virtual Port support (implemented Retry Serial Port) - https://github.com/mycontroller-org/mycontroller/issues/36

@Suresh-Mali Value does not get updated, if the device was actioned by timer - https://github.com/mycontroller-org/mycontroller/issues/35

for the firmware upload
i see this in the logs
[ST_FIRMWARE_CONFIG_RESPONSE], [NodeId:3, SensorId:255, PayLoad: 01000200A8066891]
but nothing further..
i'm not sure how to tell if it's working or not.
other than to wait?
should i continue to refresh logs and look for payload/packet updates?

For now there is no option, you have to wait

You can see payload.packet updates when you enable debug log

@mvader Enable DEBUG for org.mycontroller.standalone.mysensors package in mycontroller/conf/logback.xml

  <logger level="DEBUG" name="org.mycontroller.standalone.mysensors"/>

I have to add some mechanism to know more about without enabling debug log.

Added a ticket to track firmware status https://github.com/mycontroller-org/mycontroller/issues/37

okay i will check this tonight and let you know.
some kind of realtime packet/payload screen would be a nice feature :)
thanks

jkandasa

Document updated for 0.0.2-alpha5 release.

As node and controller communicates asynchronous, showing in real time would be bit difficult. I will have this feedback in my mind, will work to implement.

For now we have an option to check it via logs page. https://github.com/mycontroller-org/mycontroller/issues/37 This will be available in 0.0.2-alpha6 release. In the current release (0.0.2-alpha5) this fix will not be.

Thank you!

I enabled debug in the logs , rebooted the rpi2
this is what i have after telling the firmware to upload
trying to reboot a sensor
and then manually rebooting the device.
it doesn't appear it's sending

also on a separate issue
time zone
can this be a configurable option?
it seems to default to
Version: 0.0.2-alpha5, Timezone: UTC(+0000)
i have the TZ set correctly on my rpi2
(i'm EDT timezone)
thanks

If you enable or disable debug logs in MyController , there is no need to reboot your rpi.
Whatever you change in mycontroller/conf/logback.xml the out logs will be in mycontroller/logs/mycontroller.log

this is what i have after telling the firmware to upload

and then manually rebooting the device.

Based on the log seems like, gateway cannot communicate with your node. Only receiving from node. If you have any relay board, or something send ON/OFF from MyController and check it?

also on a separate issue
time zone
can this be a configurable option?

Right now it's taking system timezone as timezone. I hope if we give it as configurable option may leads confusion.

it seems to default to
Version: 0.0.2-alpha5, Timezone: UTC(+0000)

(i'm EDT timezone)

You have to set timezone with the help of raspi-config https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruits-raspberry-pi-lesson-2-first-time-configuration/changing-timezone

I believe your rpi still with UTC. If you run date command from your raspberry PI what is the output?
