beta testers required for MyController 0.0.3-alpha1 release

[jkandasa]

Hello everyone, MyController 0.0.3-alpha1 is almost ready to release. As it has huge changes we want beta testers before release.

Changes summary:

• brand new Enterprise level GUI
• Supports multiple gateways
• Feature added with timers (supports active time, send payload with delay, etc.,)
• Add simple timer support
• user friendly logs display and filter
• user friendly action board
• brand new dashboard (supports multiple dashboards)
• Supports groups (scene control)
• role based authentication (share particular resource to user)
• and many more

Currently I'm working on documentation. Kindly let me know if you are interested to test.

Very nice and clean GUI. Good job!

[mvader]

I'll beta test.

Sure, I have PM the link.

[Werwolfx]

very nice update!

short install instructions:
0)stop old version if installed, backup it
1)copy this beta to a server
2)chmod +x bin/start.sh and stop.sh
3)open conf/mycontroller.properties and edit ip/port settings
4)bin/start.sh
5)open url in your browser, protocol https!
6)login admin/admin
7)see buteful interface

• After change the default admin password, mycontroller not logoff me and i not work in the interface.
  after logoff and logon myself from new password i can use again

• in Resources-Sensors not sorting for Node EUI. May be you add sorting to click on header table names ?

• not found RAW message send =( may be you add to dashboard button, in button configuration set raw message, if user press to the button, message send to node. is good functional for release to custom message nodes and one of more steps to mycontroller can smart home system
  May be add a REST API for send RAW message to other NODEs

where I can post comments / suggestions to use this beta version?

[A Former User]

On the "Sensors and variables mapping" page.

The page number controller dosent work, you are only able to see the first page.

Excellent work
Goran

[jkandasa]

@Werwolfx @goranrad Thank you very much to spend time to test MyController.org.

I will fix the issues reported here as soon as.

@Werwolfx

After change the default admin password, mycontroller not logoff me and i not work in the interface.
after logoff and logon myself from new password i can use again

I have added fix for this. Once we changed the password will redirect to login page automatically.

in Resources-Sensors not sorting for Node EUI. May be you add sorting to click on header table names ?

as per our current design Node EUI not supported for sorting on this page. we may implement it later. we are not going to give sorting option of each tab. in this case it looks bit odd if we put it on table header and nice widget already available with patternfly for sorting. So we are using it separately. in the recent build Node EUI was removed from sorting options.

not found RAW message send =( may be you add to dashboard button, in button configuration set raw message, if user press to the button, message send to node. is good functional for release to custom message nodes and one of more steps to mycontroller can smart home system
May be add a REST API for send RAW message to other NODEs

Yes, I removed, was assuming no one is using it. Sure, I will add it again.

where I can post comments / suggestions to use this beta version?

for now we do not have page to give feedback or comments. But for issues kindly use https://github.com/mycontroller-org/mycontroller/issues

Can i test release 0.0.3 please?

WOW!! this is really cool stuff!!!
Got a serial gateway with 2 wireless sensors running,
Sensor 1:
-Humidity
-Temperature (DHT22)
-Lightlevel (DHT22)

Sensor 2:
-Temperature (BMP085)
-Airpressure (BMP085)
-Outside temperature (with NTC)

Keep up the good work!!!!

[robosensor]

Sorry, seems like I broken demo site by entering " ` " in temperature field of sensor

Now getVariables returns 500 error with message:

errorMessage:"java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: "`""

Thanks again!

Fixed. Yet to implement number validation in front end

[robosensor]

Please also escape all information that demo user enters Just an example: I entered html in forecast sensor data in dashboard and this html is rendered in resources/logs section: http://demo.mycontroller.org/#/resources/logs/

The same thing in node names in groups: http://demo.mycontroller.org/#/resources/groups/map/list/1

gui is looking great!,
have been playing with the software and found the following:

in resources/nodes, all my nodes (mysensors 15,x) are shown as "down" while they are sending data...is this a setup issue?

and for the weather forcast only N/A is shown and not the value from the sensor.....

rest looks great! really like the dashboard feature!

Thank you for the report and allocated time to test MyController.

have been playing with the software and found the following:

in resources/nodes, all my nodes (mysensors 15,x) are shown as "down" while they are sending data...is this a setup issue?

MyConttroller was looking I_HEARTBEAT_RESPONSE. From your question I understand that we should make up when we receive any message from node. I will work on it.

and for the weather forcast only N/A is shown and not the value from the sensor.....

These are all the weather station mapping icons from https://erikflowers.github.io/weather-icons/

        {
          id:"sunny",
          value:"day-sunny",
        },{
          id:"cloudy",
          value:"day-cloudy",
        },{
          id:"thunderstorm",
          value:"day-thunderstorm",
        },{
          id:"stable",
          value:"na",
        },{
          id:"unstable",
          value:"na",
        },{
          id:"na",
          value:"na",
        }

Source:https://github.com/mycontroller-org/mycontroller/blob/development/src/main/package/www/services/common_services.js#L286

we have to update this mapping based on our community members feedback.

rest looks great! really like the dashboard feature!

Thank you!

Just tested the common services script, works like a charm, best thing is, forecast is Sunny!!

[jkandasa]

Hello every one thank you for your support and feedback on beta test. In another couple of days I'm going to release 0.0.3-alpha1 to public. Kindly report your issues, if you face any. I will try to fix it before release.

Also update your locale. https://www.transifex.com/mycontrollerorg/multi-locale/dashboard/

Demo server updated till commit #523. demo.mycontroller.org

Hi,

After update (and stop/start) I show this:

Pd.
I copied all files and folders..

sorry, excuse my ignorance..

Thanks!

you have to extract bindle zip file. call mycontroller/bin/start.sh . If you were using old version of MyController.org server. stop it first.
Refresh your browser.(clear cache).

[anarro]

@jkandasa, I deleted the cache and work fine!!, now let's testing..

Pd.
For the next release, how do we do the updates?... first we need save the file "./conf/mycontroller.property", and data base file (which)?

thanks you!!
Antoni.

Note: MyController.org going to support upgrade and restore from 0.0.3-alpha1 version.
You can take a backup via GUI and keep safe backup file. Extract new release on different location, point out backup up file and do restore. that's it.

[anarro]

@jkandasa, This version is awesome !!, his work is spectacular.

Hi Sr!,

I think it would require a button to return to the previous window in the backups, it is possible?, you think the same?

@jkandasa,

Yes, I had seen, but.. I think it was more intuitive (personal opinion.)

Some typos in English language when adding a widget:
Do a search on ' grpahica' => 'graphical'

I noticed that when graphing data in dashboard (mixed sensors graph) for sensors that send data at different intervals (eg 1=5min;2=1min) that the graph and the interactive guide line is showing something what I think is the epoch time and the marker dots do not align (only at start of graph).
Turning off the checkbox ( Use intractive guide line) resolves the issue.

[hoegaarden_bier]

@jkandasa

Also here "Use intractive guide line" => "Use interactive guide line

[hoegaarden_bier]

When sensor does not have a 'name' (resources-Sensor-sensor details) ,
it shows as eg. 'null-Humidity' in the dashboard (mixed sensors graph).

Maybe just show '-Humidity' ignore the null.

Yes, It's known issue with nvd3 chart plugin. For that only I gave an option to disable interactive guide

You should upload .hex file.

@jkandasa
Thx, that works

[hoegaarden_bier]

Question,...
What makes the status of a NODE (under node details) go down?

[jkandasa]

@hoegaarden_bier

Have a look at https://github.com/mycontroller-org/mycontroller/issues/27

https://github.com/mysensors/Arduino/blob/f9d23c9c697ebc57d935aa4de6f47c3381a0810a/libraries/MySensors/core/MySensorCore.cpp#L241

node status will be checked based on I_HEARTBEAT_RESPONSE for every 30 minutes by default. If we do not receive with in 30 minutes, will mark that node as down. MyControllor will send _HEARBEAT request to all nodes every 30 minutes once. you can change this 30 minutes as your wish. located at Settings-->System --> Node alive check interval typo I will fix it (Noded alive check interval)

Thx for the quick responses, you must be close to my timezone or work very late/early;

https://github.com/mycontroller-org/mycontroller/issues/146 this should not be a bug, it's deleted all the resources log. Will fill with new information once it receives.

Question:

When my sensor node does a 'requestTime', what time (epoch) does it send back?
Is this UTC, localtime????
