Windows GUI/Controller for MySensors

[stebra]

Hi @tekka,

tried now some evenings to change node-id / clear the eeprom. No luck. FW update works always. After reading the bootloader code I expected myscontroller to send a invalid fwrequestresponse packet with special crc for the bootloader commands. Never showed up in the log.
Myscontroller .282 on Win xp and msbootloader 1.1 on nano. 47uF on nrf. No transmission errors.

Any ideas where to look next ? Maybe .278 will do the trick ?

Thanks for your efforts ,
stebra

[tekka]

@stebra please post the myscontroller log with gw DEBUG enabled that shows OTA update and ID reassign request.

MySensors_20160110-115615_stebra.log

hi tekka,

here is the log. Contains:

thank you for having a look..

[stebra]

and also a ss for another reassign attempt node 6--> 12.
FIRMWARE_CONFIG_REQUEST is not answered from myscontroller. therefore no reassign of node id.

Maybe I should open a new topic for this, but I cannot flash bootloader, I always get

avrdude done.  Thank you.

I get same message with both 3.3v and 5v pro mini that is linked in the store.
I am using Funduino uno as a ips, and I can flash blink f.eks. using uno as isp, but I cannot flash bootloader. This is the step 6 from the instructions that is failing. Any ideas how to fix this? I would really like OTA as my network is slowly growing.
Thanks for any tips!

[dakipro]

I think I have flashed MYSBootloader finaly, after ~6hours of trying and reading (persistent guy )
The instructions are for the older version I guess, right board should be copied from MYSController/bootloader/boards.txt, not from this topic post#75. Now I am trying to figure how to flash the sketch, but I guess that is explained somewhere on the topic

[dakipro]

Just one more question, I didn't find it answered on the topic (maybe too tired), but:
I have existing network with ethernet gateway and some nodes, and all is working fine. To make it OTA update-able, I need to

1. i upload ethernet gateway to the Arduino Nano, then flash MYSBootloader on it,
2. upload some sketch (which?) on Arduino Mini nodes, and then flash MYSBootloader on it, and then I can program it OTA?
3. Or something else?

Or did I miss the point completely?

[p0lar]

so from what I know.
you DONT need the MYSBootloader on the gateway. just normal arduino bootloader. you DO need the MYSBootloader on ALL the sensors you with to connect to your gateway.
Do the MYSBootloader first then use this tool to upload the firmware to your sensors OTA

[tekka]

@dakipro I use the settings mentioned in #75 in Atmel studio, however, AVRDUDE does not support the upper two bits of the lock fuse (therefore the error message 0xFF!=0x3F). Changing the lock bits to 0x3F should do the job.

And yes, as @p0lar pointed out, only the nodes and not the gateway should have MYSBootloader.

[p0lar]

HMM i cant build a DEBUG version of the ethernet gateway... even when I try to define it and print hello world it wont... weird.. any ideas?

[dakipro]

Aha, I get it now. Then I just flash MYSBootloader on the sensor, and attach the radio and it will automatically connect to the gateway (it has some sort of sketch/communication with MySensors built in)? And then I use the MYSController to upload my sketch as described?

Or how do I upload a initial sketch if I cannot use arduino anymore?

Btw, I love MYSController, i use it all the time in development as it shows all that is going on with the sensors, thank you very much for developing it!

[p0lar]

correct. you build the .hex file in arduino studio or whatever and copy it to the MY gui firmware folder and edit the csv file and then reload.

http://forum.mysensors.org/topic/1066/bootloader/8

This should help

[p0lar]

This post is deleted!

[p0lar]

I thinking I am build a DEBUG version of the GW code. but I dont think the logging is working in the app with my eth GW. am I mising something?

So. when I build a DEBUG version of the GW code I get this in the serial console hex size=29k so its bigger.

0;0;3;0;9;gateway started, id=0, parent=0, distance=0
0;0;3;0;9;read: 1-1-0 s=1,c=1,t=0,pt=7,l=5,sg=0:71.6

0;0;3;0;9;read: 2-2-0 s=1,c=1,t=16,pt=0,l=1,sg=0:0
2;1;1;0;16;0

the NON DEBUG I get this. hex size = 26k
1;1;1;0;0;69.8
1;0;1;0;1;35.0
1;1;1;0;0;71.6

that looks good

[p0lar]

Still nothing in the MySensors Debug tab... and only the NON debug info in the log files. maybe this is a ethernet GW issue? So I get debug info in the Arduino Serial monitor but no debug via TCP?

@tekka : I tested the ID reassign by hardcoding the functionality in the serial gw sketch. Reboot node 6, wait for FW_CONFIG_REQUEST, answer with FW_CONFIG_RESPONSE.

Works as expected & described in the MYSBootloader code. Please give me some hint why MYSController does not send the FW_CONFIG_RESPONSE packet with the bootloader commands after the reboot.

I trigger the reassign via the node´s context menu in the gui, MYSBootloader Commands --> reassign ID. Anything wrong with that ?

Maybe someone else has an idea what is happening/not happening ? @tekka could you find something in the log file?

Thanks a lot...

[stebra]

Has anyone tested successfully reassigning the node-id with MYSBootloader 1.1 and MYSController 1.2.282 ? Would give me some new motivation to hear it's possible and has been done before. At the very moment I m at a dead end.
If it is not working for you, I would also appreciate your feedback.

[gregl]

@tekka
Is the (dev branch) MQTTClientGateway supported by MYSController?

I'm in the process of moving from Vera and Ethernet GW, to Openhab with MQTTClient gateway and would love to have the OTA functionality your bootloader and controller provides. I looked at this a while back, but ran out of time to play!

So yeah.. Can MYSController talk with the MQTTClientGateway ( over Ethernet) ?

Cheers,
Greg

[gregl]

In answer to my own question... No..it doesnt seem to.. ;-(
I tried with the IP address of my MQTT client gateway board, and port 5003 ( same port that works for my 1.4 Ethernet GW )
It says it connects, but no data flows in....

@tekka @hek - Is it unlikely that the MQTTClient Gateway will be usable with MYSController??

If not, would this work?

Have two networks -
1 for MYSController to perform OTA's using a serial gateway on the PC we typically do sketch changes on.

2 for normal MySensors operation. When you want to invoke an update, you could send a I_REBOOT command ( MQTT message in my case), which would reboot the node and if i understand correctly, look for an update on the other network channel.

I guess you would loose all the other functionility of MYSController, but at least we could do OTA.

Cheers,
Greg

[tekka]

@stebra The log looks normal - is the node directly communicating with the gw or via a repeater? Does the clearEEPROM option work?

[tekka]

@gregl MYSController is currently not supporting MQTT, I'll add it to my feature request w/o ETA.

[stebra]

@tekka
No repeater, clear eeprom via MYSController gui does not work. Clear eeprom via sketch works, node gets new id after reboot.
My assumption is that MYSController does not respond to the FW_CONFIG_REQU after reboot.

[cranky]

@tekka You might not have to. I've been working on Node-Red as a controller and more.

With my kit, you need Node-Red, node-red-contrib-mysensors , Mosquitto, and some of my flows which I have available ( http://forum.mysensors.org/topic/2802/flow-to-turn-serialgateway-into-mqtt-serialgateway ).

And it makes this:
http://forum.mysensors.org/topic/2815/flow-to-turn-serialgateway-with-mqtt-flow-to-ethernetgateway

The only flaw is that when you first connect MYSController, you need to send a junk topic so that MYSController can receive data. It's a bug/peculiarity with Node-Red, but honestly not a big deal. I'm also working on how to fix even that.

[stebra]

@tekka
Can you verify it works for you? Do you see any response packets with the bl commands in your log?

[sundberg84]

First time i try OTA. Everything went well until fw update (Pro mini). It sends/recieve like 20-30 packages, and then ends. I need to reconnect Myscontroller and it will start to flow again. I can see there is requests from node on gw led, but nothing comes through in Myscontroller (.282). Using 2.0b ethernet gw. Its just like either GW stops sending to Myscontroller or Myscontroller doesnt accept it. Also getting in domoticz that "MySensors: Connection reset!" Do i need to disconnect Domoticz while I do updates?

Any clues?

Edit: Sorry, jepp - needs to disconnect Domoticz and it works... I bet its those new gateway pings from Domoticz killing it.

[sundberg84]

A quick one: How long does the OTA takes for Blink sketch?

I press update FW, it start rolling and the node changes status from "fw updating" to "booting" but then goes back to fw updating... have been going like this for a long time now (1000 packages sent/recieved).

Also - is it possible to upload via fdti with MYSBootloader or you need to use OTA?

Edit: somethings is not right, its rebooting or starting over again:

Fortunately a helpful guy gave me your bootloader 1.3 beta, which fixes the problem with nonworking bootloader commands. It seems I was not the first one asking you...

For all others trying the bootloader commands in bootloader 1.1 : this does not work at all, and you are only wasting your time.

I would really appreciate if the code for bl 1.3 was on github also. I do not mind if its beta only...

[tekka]

@stebra The 1.3 is a closed beta and is not supposed to be distributed (ping @niccodemi). It is not supported in any terms nor should it be used in a productive environment, the compatibility to any library version is not guaranteed.
Currently, there is ongoing work for MYSBootloader 2.0 and the ETA is tbd, same for the code.

[tekka]

@sundberg84 Please upload MYSController log with DEBUG enabled.

[Anduril]

Hello @tekka,

is the feature 'save nodes' supposed to be working or WIP? With every start of MYSController I get a blank page and have to wait for every sensor to appear. At the moment that's not a big problem for me because of only 3 sensors, but already got a doubled ID once because new sensor requested an ID before the old #1 was recognized.
Thanks a lot for your work with the controller, it's great.

Hi, just found this so downloaded and installed. Went to config to see what was there and selected TCP/IP tab to turn it off as it is not on a network and I only need Serial. The thing locks up and crashes and I have to use Task Manager to end it.

Is there some way to start it without it trying to access 192.168.0.5?

@NotTooTechy try setting

TCPACTIVE=0

in MYSController.ini

Hello everyone,

I am new to the forum, I really appreciate your community.

I embarked on the adventure of MySensors and naturally, I leaned on OTA. To do so, I followed your tutorial but I have a problem when sending the FW on the node.

My setup:
• 1 Arduino Mega with nRF24L01+ which I use serial gateway
• 1 Arduino mini pro 3.3 volts for 8 mhz node (single sketch that sends a random data every 5 seconds)
• Arduino IDE 1.6.7
• MySensors libraries 1.5.3
• MYSController_0_1_2_282

The mini pro flashed with the bootloader (MYSBootloader 1.1), I can detect through MYSController application where it is named "Booting: 65 ... - 65 ...", I right click on it and send the skit "blink" .

Sometimes I manage to push the "blink" directly and other times must be repeated 2-3 times (that's a lot of times, I grant you ). What is troubling is that at that time, I see the LED 13 of the mini pro flashed at a steady pace, but in MYSController, it is always named "booting ..." and to name the sketch "null".

Afterwards, when I try to put my sketch, it loads but still in a loop with an error when it reaches 100% "FW update on the failed node = 1" and then starts again at 0% and so on.

I hope you will refer me.

Thank you.

@tekka
Using the SerialGateway:
Is there a tutorial at all for using this? I can figure out a lot of stuff, but...

Is it possible to assign the ID to a new node? I want to group Nodes numerically as in Area-1: = 10,11,12 then Area-2: = 20,21,22,23 etc
How?

[dakipro]

Tutorial would be awesome
I have a specific case that fails uploading sketch to 3.3v pro mini. I have a combined sketch which works fine if uploaded to 3.3v via cable, sketch also uploads fine OTA on 5v pro mini. When I try to upload sketch to 3.3v it fails eventually. If I upload "blink" from MysController, it uploads and works fine.
I am suspecting that i am not flashing bootloader properly maybe. This is my boards.txt

I can burn 5v bootloader with both "boards" from ArduinoIDE using Uno as ISP. And on two 5v I have, OTA works great, it is just 3.3v with larger sketch (sketch is combination of several sensors) that eventually gives

I am using the latest stable version of mysensors on both gateway and when compiling the sketches.

If someone can test this on 3.3v or can look at the code and perhaps figure out what could be the problem, I would really appreciate it.

Keep up the great work guys, I am loving the mysensors&co projects!

I'm having some issues with the MYSBootloader, I've uploaded a sketch perfectly with the ISP connection after burning the fuses and bootloader, all using the Arduino IDE. Now when i come to update the sketch using FTDI I can't upload due to a error of:

avrdude: stk500_recv(): programmer is not responding
avrdude: stk500_getsync() attempt 1 of 10: not in sync: resp=0x0a

I'm assuming the timing in my fuses have been incorrectly set. Could anyone shine some light onto this?

The settings i used were L:0xE2 H:0xD8 E:0x06. The boards.txt reflects this too, its also set to 8Mhz, with a baud rate of 57600.

[therik]

Sorry, just getting around to try to get MYSController setup and I can't seem to get it sorted out to connect to my serial GW that is attached to my VeraLite.

Here is what I have done to try to get connected:

1. ssh into Vera and enter this command.

ser2net -C 5003:raw:0:/dev/ttyACM0:115200

I also tried

ser2net -C 5003:raw:0:/dev/ttyUSB0:115200

Next I launch MYSController on my PC and in the config window under TCP/IP tab set the IP to the IP of Vera and port to 5003.

Hit connect and I get the following....

2/17/2016 13:04:54	INFO	Connected to 192.168.0.108:5003
2/17/2016 13:04:54	INFO	Unknown message, Msg=

2/17/2016 13:04:54	RX

For those of you have have done this before...any suggestion?

@samuel235 said:

Now when i come to update the sketch using FTDI

I think you are supposed to be uploading the sketches OTA and they won't upload via USB anymore (unless I missed an update, which is possible).

[Samuel235]

@petewill - You are correct regarding no usb/ftdi uploads. Everything has to be done OTA. I'm using a standard arduino bootloader at the moment, attempting to troubleshoot ftdi with that :).

[petewill]

@samuel235 are you using a Windows PC to upload your sketches? FTDI recently released drivers that stops FTDI clones from working with the new drivers. This happened to me and my errors looked very similar. The solution for me was to uninstall the drivers and re-install the older ones. I got the info from this post: http://www.eevblog.com/forum/microcontrollers/ftdi-gate-2-0/msg854401/#msg854401

Also, I had to log in to my computer as an admin to make all these changes. For some reason using a standard account then typing in an admin password at the UAC prompt did not help. Maybe it was a coincidence but tried many times and only after doing it in admin context did I get it to work. Also, make sure you turn off Windows update for drivers. Let me know if you get stuck and I'll do my best to help.

[Samuel235]

@petewill - I am using a windows system. I was reading about this new driver release the other day and didn't think anything of it. I didn't realize that it could apply to myself when I was reading it.

Just out of curiosity, what does your FTDI converter come under in device manager, i always thought it was supposed to be a USB device, mine comes directly under Ports (COM & LPT). I know its obviously a port, I just for some reason thought it should be under Universal Serial Bus controller?

Just to let you know, windows hasn't automatically updated my drivers. I'm still on the search for an older version.

[petewill]

@samuel235 I changed the view like this:

Then it shows like this:

I am using version 2.8.30.0 and I downloaded them from the FTDI site.

[Samuel235]

@petewill, what device/converter are you using for FTDI uploads?

[petewill]

@samuel235 I'm using a Windows 8.1 PC with the Arduino 1.6.6 IDE. My FTDI adapter looks like this:

[Samuel235]

@petewill - Right okay, well my adapter is slightly different in the sense that it is all in one with a USB 2.0 adapter on the end of the board rather than a USB MiniB that you run a cable to the USB port on the PC. But apart from that the chip on-board is pretty much standard i think, from what i have found out on the internet anyway. Just for reference, this is what mine is http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/161791651010?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT.

However, when purchasing some Arduino Mini Pros, i have gotten another. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/161795041342?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT. We will see if they're both the same functionality when it arrives.

[petewill]

@samuel235 A quick way to test if it's your adapter or the drivers is to plug it in to a Mac or a Linux computer and try to upload from there.

[Samuel235]

@petewill - As soon as my Mini Pros arrive I will start to troubleshoot this with more depth. Thank you

[vikasjee]

@Anticimex Can you please share the Nodes Code?

[Anticimex]

@vikasjee not straight away as it contain pushbullet secrets so I need to launder it a bit first. And I have also changed it around in quite a bit and have added some experimental debugging facilities that don't really work so are you sure you still want it? if it is the multi controller support you are after it should still be a valid reference.

You will need @tbowmo's mysensors node-red plugin for this flow. And be aware that the debug log management in this flow is NOT working as it is really supposed to.

To create the socat pipes I use a number of shell scripts of this form executed as root:

#!/bin/bash
while sleep 1; do
        socat PTY,link=/dev/ttyVera,mode=666,group=dialout,raw TCP-LISTEN:5003,reuseaddr
done

Typically, you can invoke such a script using

sudo ./socat_vera.sh &

which would let the script execute in the background. The while loop make sure the pipe stays available even if there is nothing connected to it.

For sure there are a lot of different things about this that can be improved and optimized, but that is what I am currently using in my testing environment.

Ditto on the "very very cool" I looking for a app I could actually see what my sensor builds were doing. Prefect!
Thanks

hi again, I noticed that domoticz would lose connection to the Gateway when I would ask one of the nodes to restart. Is that expected behavior?
For example when I want to introduce a new node/code to domoticz, the moment I hit reboot on some node domoticz would report that it has lost TCP connection with the gateway and it would wait 30s or something and then reconnect to the gateway, which is ok to restart but it will then miss the introduction/presentation data sent by the sensor. This is one of the coolest features of MysController, to update and reset remote nodes, without the need to reopen all the nodes and hitting reset or removing the battery etc.
Anyone noticing this, is there some workaround for this?

Hi tekka,

I have tested MYSController, and it was a massive success ! thanks a lot for your work.

I have just one question, in the csv file there is a type.
According to my reading this is to tag a node type, but where are the already known types ?
Type 1 => only temperature
Type 2 => only humidity
Type 3 => temp & hum
etc
Is there another config file where to specify user types ?

Type,Name,Version,File,Comments
10,Blink,1,Blink.hex,blinking example
20,TimeReporter,1,TimeReporter.hex,TimeReporter
100,Sensebender Micro,1,SensebenderMicro.cpp.hex,Sensebender Micro
110,Sensebender Blink,1,SensebenderBlink.cpp.hex,Sensebender Blink

@hek - would it be possible to get a subforum for MYSController stood up in the Controllers forum? This thread is getting pretty long and off topic (also, the RSS feed stops at the 27th post)

[hek]

I'll have a talk with @tekka about it. But you always have the optaion to start a new thread.

[tekka]

@DomoJimbo No, you are free to choose the node types. This information is used for OTA FW updates.

[ThomasDr]

Hello,

for Linux, it works with wine, with TCP and serial.

@tekka

I'Ve done the steps witch you describe but it doesn't show up in the ArduinoIDE.
Step 1, added the lines to boards.txt
Step 2, made a directory \MySensors under
D:\Program Files\Arduino\hardware\arduino\avr\bootloaders
Step 3, copied the .hex file into D:\Program Files\Arduino\hardware\arduino\avr\bootloaders\MySensors

What did i do wrong???

[cdr]

@MarkV you might want to check your "AppData" folder, I noticed the same behaviour and had to change boards.txt in this location.

Guys,

I'm trying to get this working with my nano clone but am having no luck.

When I flash the boot loader the nano doesn't send the request (the light on the nano comes on red and stays on).

I'm presuming it's because I haven't updated the fuse settings etc for the nano? Would someone be so kind as to offer some help with regards what I need to change?

Edit: I'm up and running!

[Mark Swift]

Did anyone figure out how to get MySensors debug messages to show? My sketch has debug uncommented and I can see them via serial, but not in the app?

[tekka]

@Mark-Swift The MySensors debug tab only shows gateway debug messages (not sensor debug).

[Mark Swift]

@tekka Yeah, I get that, that's what I'm struggling with. I have the debug line uncommented on my ESP8266 gateway, but see nothing in the mysensors debug tab? I'm using the latest beta build as I run 2.0.0.

Also, I've asked a couple of times, is the default firmware pre release 1.3 bootloader (16mhz) suitable in its default state for both my Uno's and Nano's?

Thanks in advance,

Mark

[tekka]

@Mark-Swift the ESP8266 GW is not sending debug msgs over TCP/IP - only over the serial console.
And yes, MYSBootloader 1.3pre/16Mhz is suitable for Uno and Nano V3 (both share the same atmega328p mcu)

[Mark Swift]

@tekka That explains it then Thank you very much for the confirmations!

[pdey]

@Mark-Swift : If you're happy to modify the MySensors library in an unsupported way, I've added a logMessage function to transmit text/debug messages from remote nodes:
https://github.com/peterdey/MySensors-Arduino/commit/f5f339b71620ec3cd896304a2ca6aba40ad40218

Found it useful, particularly in conjunction with MYSController OTA firmware updates.

[Mark Swift]

@pdey Let me get this straight, this allows me to see the serial debug messages from my nodes running the modified boot loader? That would be a dream come true, I really miss debug messages...

Thank you!

[pdey]

@Mark-Swift: You'll need to replace Serial.Print with node.logMessage - but yes, I use it for transmitting debug messages, wirelessly, to the controller.

No gateway modifications required (the gateway will just pass the message over to the controller). Old versions of MYSController (e.g. 0.1.2.276) would actually show the debug messages as a LOG_MESSAGE in the "Messages" tab; later versions hide it away in the "Debug" tab.

[Mark Swift]

@pdey That's fantastic, the only thing I was missing with the modified boot loader was debug...

@hek @tekka Any reason why we can't implement this into development, it seems a great feature.

Now if I can only figure out how to apply @pdey 's fix to the current dev branch....

[gonzalonal]

Hi @tekka ,
Just starting testing beta version and it looks really nice. Thanks for sharing this great tool.
I usually use it to debug mysensors network.

I think I have found a little bug regarding message subtype.
For example, when I choose to send a message using as subtype V_VAR1, it sends out as V_VAR4.
To actually send it as V_VAR1 I have to choose as Subtype V_HVAC_FLOW_STATE.

Can someone try this in their MYSController Beta 1.0.0beta so as to verify if it is only happening to me, or is a funny bug in the beta.

Once againg, thank you very much.
Regards.
Gonzalo

[Dirk_H]

@gonzalonal @tekka
Yes I can confirm the exact same behaviour gonzalonal describes. Please say if you need any more details tekka (with the @ function).

[tekka]

@Dirk_H @gonzalonal This has been fixed in the most recent build (3314). Thanks for reporting.
=> update pushed.

[tekka]

@pdey Filtering I_LOG_MESSAGE from the main message tab can be (de)activated in the settings.

[Mark Swift]

@tekka I've tried to apply @pdey 's change to the current dev branch; but due to the recent refactoring, wasn't successful - I'll keep trying.

Would you happen to have any other suggestions how we can get debug messages back to the controller from remote nodes? Some of my nodes are running some fairly complex code and without debug it becomes a tedious task.

Many thanks in advance,

Mark

[vikasjee]

Was @pdey 's change applied to the dev branch?

Any suggestions for debug messages to the controller from remote nodes?

[Harrdy]

My current running setup is a Arduino via USB-Serial attached to a Arduino with my Controller Software. But i want to use this Windows Controller at the same time. Anyone a idea how i can do this (local serial and serial2net at the same time on the same serial device)? if i start the serial2net my raspberry controller is broken and can't connect to the arduino usb serial but the serial2net work.

[tekka]

@Harrdy you can use the "GW mode" in the latest release and have your controller pointing to your PC's IP.

[Harrdy]

Thanks @ @tekka I saw the button "gw mode" but pimatic unfortunately only supports serial gateways. so if i use the "gw mode" i need a package like net2ser (instead of ser2net). But i think something like that does not exist

edit:
okay, it works with socat

sudo socat -d -d pty,link=/dev/ttyPimaticGW,raw,echo=0,waitslave tcp:192.168.170.32:5003;

[tekka]

@Harrdy cool, thanks for reporting

[Anduril]

@Harrdy I made the experience that a socat tcp tunnel is not stable all the time. I was trying to establish a connection between my ESP8266 gateway and a serial port (to be used with pimatic), but that tended to disconnect after few hours/days. This was also reported by other users in the pimatic forum. But maybe this is only a problem in relation with a ESP gateway.
I would just recommend to check your connection regularly.
If it is also unstable for you, I am testing node-red for that purpose at the moment and it looks promising. I will report when testing is finished.

[techRH]

Maybe this helps any one else:
I run openHAB on a RPI3 and i have made a Mysensors serial GW on a arduino nano.
I want to use openHAB for the interface and MySController for the managment. So i need to forward my serial communication to a TCP socket.

ser2net is a nice tool works fast but it block the Serial connection for openHAB.
socat works better for me by executing the following command:
$ sudo socat tcp-l:5003,reuseaddr,fork file:/dev/mySensorsCOM,nonblock,waitlock=/var/run/mySensorsCOM.lock

next step will be to put it in a script and sends the process to the background and restarts it if there went something go's wrong.

[Anduril]

@Harrdy there is a ethernet branch of the mysensors plugin for pimatic now under development. You can have a look at the mysensors thread in the pimatic forum to find the instructions.

[robosensor]

Does anyone know how to allow multiple TCP connections forwarded to one MYS tty port? This socat command blocks second TCP connection until first one disconnected.

I just want to connect MYSController using TCP without disconnecting my custom MQTT<=>serial controller script. I'm using RPi with USB-serial gateway.

P.S. @tekka is there any chances that MQTT access will be implemented in MYSController?

@techRH said:

[jmkhael]

@tekka great work! thank you for sharing this.
Your controller and great contribution had me quickly started with mysensors. I am interested in a way to do OTA updates using MYSController via api or a script call or even rewriting the logic in an outside code. I'll try to explain the need based on my setup below.

Given that I am using jeedom right now as a controller, but sadly it doesn't seem to support yet OTA updates. I'd like to be able to reuse or even contribute to this feature and I'd appreciate pointers to start doing that.
My setup has it that jeedom runs off a raspi and has a mysensors serial gateway attached. (1 to 2 Watts draw for this setup). MYSController can work as an ethernet relay gateway, but if I understand correctly I have to run it on windows (more moving parts), or a much hungrier box than my raspi.

Is there a way I can make that work somehow? I am ready and appreciate any type of suggestions with the current setup I have or an evolution which goes into that direction.

[Anduril]

@robosensor you could try nodered. It can connect multiple inputs (mqtt, tcp,...) and merge it to a single serial output and vice versa. You might have to add some logic, but that shouldn't be a problem.

[pdey]

@robosensor I wrote a bridge to use on the Linino side of the Arduino Yun for this:
https://github.com/peterdey/Yun-Linino-NewBridge

But there's no reason you couldn't use this on an rPi - you'll probably just need to turn the baud rate down to 115200.

[tekka]

@jmkhael You can use "GW mode" (=proxy mode) in the tab bar

[techRH]

I thought the socat command is to slow in switching so i have created a python script which will readout the mysensors serial GW and sends the data to a virtual serial port to connect to openhab and a TCP socket for the MySensors controller.

https://github.com/Rutger798/serial_to_serial_and_tcp/blob/master/serial_to_serial_and_tcp.py

[dopeeye]

How do i use MYSController with a Raspberry Pi ?
I have a RPi2 with a NRF24 radio as a gateway and want to troubleshoot some communication issues i have been having. I usually log into the RPi2 via ssh to make adjustments.
Can I just download the files and rund the .exe via command-line?

Thanks

[Anduril]

I think it's windows software only. If you want to use it this way you should make you gateway device accessible via ethernet, maybe socat or nodered is an option for you.

[dopeeye]

ok thanks for clarifying.

gonna give the node-red a try

is it possible to use with mysensor 2.0 API ?

[interxis]

Very cool. It also works on Ubuntu with Wine.
You have to create a COM port like this:

ln -s /dev/ttyUSB0 ~/.wine/dosdevices/com1

[karlheinz2000]

How do I get MYSController to save info about each node?
I always have to set "battery-powered" after each upload and it does not save sketch name etc.

[meanmrgreen]

Ok this might be a realy stupid question but im what you call a "nuub"

If i want to monitor my current setup (serial gateway on a pi3) on windows/mint. Do i build another gateway and plug it in the pc?

Sorry if i missed the instructions on this

[tekka]

@meanmrgreen no, you can only have one GW in your setup. You could connect your GW to the PC, configure it for serial input, enable GW mode and have your rpi controller pointing at it (IP).

[meanmrgreen]

@tekka
How about I'f i replace my serial with a Ethernet gw?

Do not want my pc running all the time. Just to debug

[Samuel235]

Hi @tekka - I'm currently running OpenHAB connected to mysensors by a GatewayW5100MQTTClient gateway and at the moment I have to manual upgrades to the nodes by disconnecting them and plugging them into the PC and recompiling all the software for each node. Would there be any way around this setup? I would like to keep OpenHAB as my controller and I really like the MQTT Client software too. Its simple and it just works for me. However, i would be open to change from MQTT if needed.

What is your recommendation of implementing MYScontroller to use for OTA firmware updates only?

[Anduril]

@tekka how do I initiate a reboot of a node from gateway side? I don't know how, but it's needed for updating OTA. Thanks in advance.
