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?

For now there is no option, you have to wait

should i continue to refresh logs and look for payload/packet updates?

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

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

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 have the TZ set correctly on my rpi2
(i'm EDT timezone)
thanks

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?

Is there any implementation to control equipments via IR (infrared) ? I've done some tests with light actuators and that works fine.

i must have had a browser cache issue or something, the next day i came back and it said EDT. so it appears my system clock was indeed set to UTC.

One comment on something you said above.

" I hope if we give it as configurable option may leads confusion."

I think that given the audience here, there isn't much that would confuse people.
If you were dealing with people who didn't know anything about electronics, or computers, maybe, but to be honest i can't see how it would confuse anyone, much less anyone here..
just my thoughts..

now to circle around to the firmware issue.
the nodes that use dual-optiboot, are mostly the sensebender micro boards.
these are typically battery powered devices that sleep most of the time.
with the library 1.5, you have an OTA enabled setting and when the device boots, it listens for a defined amount of time for an OTA upgrade signal.
I've tested this with MYScontroller and it works.
when i reboot the device, the firmware upgrade takes off.

I rebooted the device manually and nothing was sent, so it seems like something may still not be working correctly.
with your implementation.

I've tested with IR and it appears to work. so you shouldn't have any problems.

@mvader Thank you! What I mentioned here is, Say if you are running your system with UTC time (People always set system time as where they are living) and you change MyController time to EDT.
Now confusion stars this way.

Sunrise/Sunset time (you set latitude and longitude for your location(UTC), time will be displayed in EDT)
Message received from sensor will show in EDT, As you are in UTC there is chance to thing like it is old log, etc.,
While scheduling 'Timer' will get confuse (Will be scheduled in EDT timezone).
I believe it is good to go with system time.
Top most we have to rewrite the code in many places :wink:

now to circle around to the firmware issue.
the nodes that use dual-optiboot, are mostly the sensebender micro boards.

I rebooted the device manually and nothing was sent, so it seems like something may still not be working correctly.
with your implementation.

Thank you for your effort and time on this. Let me check how dual-optiboot works and will check the implementation MyController also.
