    Hi,
    I have tried to use the GUI controller but I cannot get any output although it claims to be connected to my ethernet GW.
    I should mention that I run on the development branch. Perhaps there are changes that prevents your tool from acknowlegding my "development" gateway?
    EDIT: When connected through serial, it seem to work though. Perhaps the gw does not permit multiple connections on Ethernet. Nice! It barfs on my messages though but I guess it is because I run on dev and you have already stated that development branch support is "coming" so I don't worry about that.
    This is the output though in case you are interested:

      Thanks!
      Where can this be downloaded? Is that under an open source license, are sources available in github or something? If so, maybe someone would be willing to help with making it platform independent :-)

        @tekka very good job :+1: Thx !

        The ID change worked (but tried it only one time :-) A stesstest will follow ! )

        Next thing: Know how often a node send a package (or how long it like to sleep) and take this info to create a quality level and a warning if - i.e. after 3 times - there is no feedback from the node ?

          The included TimeReporter (I don't know where to find the sketch) has a small problem.
          In the minutes and the seconds the leading zero is missing - i.e. 11h 9 min 5 sevc is shown as: 11:9:5 instead of 11:09:05.

            i tried using the OTA FW update by following your guide a few posts up and i must say i like it a lot!
            i just cant figure out how to upload FW from the software. every time it starts uploading FW by responding on FW requests my gateway seems to freeze, i use a usb ttl converter and arduino pro mini with radio as gw. i also uploaded the log. by the time the server responds to the FW req i have assigned FW to the node. then the GW just stops recieving and transmitting for no apearent reason so there is no communication back and forth, then when i reset the GW ( by pushing the reset button on the GW the comm is back up.. when the GW is frosen the led (pin 13, clock) is also completely off.. and yes, i also tried a radio with capacitor.

              @diamantmatch The link to the log file is broken (currently, the forum experiences some issues with uploading files / pictures. Can you share it on e.g. dropbox and post the link?).
              I've come across similar issues with debug mode activated on the GW sketch - try reflashing the GW with debug mode disabled and give it another shot.

                I have cherry-picked a couple of patches that should fix file-uploads now. Please try to re-upload your log file. Downloading your logfile works again.

                    @tekka I am still a bit confused after rereading this thread.

                    I have a humidity sensor plugged by usb and using config and debug see this sensor.
                    Question is for the full gui do I need to unplug serial usb from gw and plug it into computer and start your program?

                    If this is correct, then it will be temporarily disconnected from vera3 controller while I study and learn to understand what is being presented to me, when I again config and debug.

                    After reviewing then reconfigure gw back to vera?

                        @5546dug MYSController connects directly to the gw to interact with the nodes.

                          That's correct: with the MYSBootloader you can upload the firmware OTA only - use MYSController to upload new fw

                              @tekka A further small bug or misunerstanding by us - the unix time:

                              API:
                              I_TIME 1 Sensors can request the current time from the Controller using this message. The time will be reported as the seconds since 1970 = unix time ?

                              The MYSController send the local time, but not the unix time (the unix time is the same all over te world)

                                    You seem to have a sensor connected to your MYSController and not a gateway.
                                    Maybe wrong serialport?

                                      lib 1.4
                                      humidity sketch mysensors

                                      readings seem accurate

                                      also have temp read 30 sec and hum read when changes only

                                      is all well or issues?

                                      thanks

                                        Hi guys! I'm still a newbie but i'm very interested in this tool and I'm quite confused how to install it. I'm only interested in see the communication to start with.

                                        Is there an installation instruction somewhere?

                                        I have tried to install it but I can't see any serial ports in the config window. Here is what I have done:

                                        1. Downloaded the package and run the program (I'm using Wine on a Mac)
                                        2. Uploaded a the standard SerialGateway sketch from Mysensor to a Nano board and have it connected to the computer. I can see from the serial monitor in the Arduino IDE that it sees the communication fine from the various sensors.
                                          I haven't done anything to the Gateway that's connected to the Vera. Is it that one I should use and connect to the computer???

                                        Sorry for the newbie questions..

                                          Well I found an old Windows laptop and it worked on that, so I guess it's the Mac computer :disappointed_relieved:
                                          Yesterday I tried to make a Repeater with the standard sketch as instructed. Now I can see that it says: Undefined firmware/type. What is the reason for that???

                                          I think it works because when I disconnect it stops sending messages to MYSController so all communication to this is done via the repeater.
                                          Is it something to worry about???
