How to upgrade from 0.0.3-alpha1 to 0.0.3.Alpha2

Note: Upgrade supports from 0.0.3-alpha1. Older than this release will not support for upgrade.

Before moving to 0.0.3.Alpha2 version,

• Take a backup (1)
• Stop 0.0.3-alpha1 server
• Extract 0.0.3.Alpha2
• Restore backup from (1)

Steps to take backup:

• Navigate to Settings -> Backup.

• Click on Settings. add location where you want to keep backup files. save
  

• Click on Run backup
  

Steps to restore:

• after backup completed successfully. Stop MyController from command line
• Now extract MyController 0.0.3.Alpha2 version on different location.
• Start new version of MyController
• Configure backed up file location on our new installation
• Now old backup file will be listing in our new installation
• Click on the file and run restore in action
  
• after successful restore change mycontroller/conf/mycontroller.properties manually compare to latest version
• start the server manually from command line.
• After successful migration compare and change your mycontroller/conf/mycontroller.properties file with latest file.

Enjoy

The container image will be super easy to distribute.
It contains all its dependencies in it. "no more not working in my environment philosophy".
it is super lightweight compared to VM.

I would like to point that MyController.org has a docker image.
Version 1.x is managed by a community member: (available for x86_64 Linux arch): https://hub.docker.com/r/cdrocker/mycontroller

Version 2.0 is in the development phase and natively supports the container.
Supports for Linux x86_64, arm6, arm7, and arm64

# version 2.0
# run with default configuration
docker run  -d --name mycontroller \
    -p 8080:8080 \
    quay.io/mycontroller-org/all-in-one:master

Note: V2.0 is in the development stage, which means not ready for production. If you need metrics support install external influxdb(2.x).

Just sharing my experience with MY_RFM69_MODEM_CONFIGURATION

IMPORTANT: We should not use brockets() when defining MY_RFM69_MODEM_CONFIGURATION,

Wrong way: #define MY_RFM69_MODEM_CONFIGURATION (RFM69_FSK_BR55_5_FD50)

Right way: #define MY_RFM69_MODEM_CONFIGURATION RFM69_FSK_BR55_5_FD50

Why? Check this, actually configuration values are defined as an array.

@qobouky seems you have problem with MyController and serial port communication. I do not see the node 0 too (gateway node).
can you check the MyController log file, is there any error? Also check the baud rate and port number of your serial device.

@qobouky your attachments are not available. can you please add it again?
do not you get your node by running discover on MyController?

@Yveaux said in serial, Ethernet to MQTT:

Of course, but MySensors MQTT gateway runs just as fine when connected over cabled ethernet, as when connected over wifi

I do not know that
Now on this tool, I do not see much benefit from ethernet to MQTT
Still, it is good from serial to MQTT.

@Yveaux Some people keep wants to use serial or ethernet for security reason. They do not want to use WiFi.
But still, they can enjoy the benefits of MQTT

• experiment different controllers via MQTT
• can have the serial gateways on the different places and connected to a controller (everything connected via MQTT)

Hi,

I have developed a new MQTT bridge to convert from serial, ethernet to mqtt.
Supports for MySensors.
You can have more than one serial ports and/or ethernet connections.
If you are interested in, https://github.com/mycontroller-org/2mqtt
Thanks!

@fixjunk this configuration will be supplied to your gateway from a controller.

Source: https://www.mysensors.org/download/serial_api_20
When your MySesnors node boots up, sends a I_CONFIG request to your controller, your controller has to respond to this request [response can be either (M)etric or (I)mperal ]

AFAIK, This metric change will not affect your sensor measurement units. You have to convert yourself in your sketch.
@mfalkvidd can confirm this.

@Puneit-Thukral Thanks for your suggestions

In future will it be possible port this to mobile apps for iOS and Android?

Mobile app is a long pending work for MyContorller. Yes, in future we have to develop.

One integration I would request is for HomeKit.

Sure, I add it in the note. Thanks!

Hello,
MyController 2.0 is in the development stage. I hope we can do a pre-release soon.
I do not want to limit MyController usage not only to the sensors world. can be used for another use case too.

Example:

• monitor stock market and act based on that
• monitor GitHub issues, JIRA issues act based on that
• Monitor an application on a computer
• We have many use cases...

The names should be generic and can be adaptable for all use cases.
So we need a better common name for the sensor and variable.

Current approach (In Version 1.x): Gateway >> Node >> Sensor >> Variable

Sensor:

• The sensor will be renamed as element
• I need better naming here if this is not looking good

Variable:

• We cannot use the name variable, it is more confusing.
• The Variable will be renamed as field (inputs are welcome)

Please respond back with your suggestions
