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

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.

@prakhar-birla Yes, I am using in my house. I see a good range between concrete walls.
I was using NRF24L01+ Chinese version and was facing range issue. I used to have Gateway for each floor.
But now only single gateway with RFM69HW.

I have replaced RFM69HW with NRF24L01+ couple of weeks ago. I am just experimenting with coverage with RFM69HW. So far I do not face any issue.

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).

@hek I see that MySensors logo is missing in the forum

Thanks @JeeLet @skywatch upgrade leads some issue, I believe I fixed it. I hope MyController forum looks ok now.

we can go back to the original topic

Thanks @hek !

Hello, MySensors forum search feature is not working? I tried with Incognito window too, but nothing changed.

CC @hek @mfalkvidd

@JeeLet can you share your MySensors sketch?

@alphaHotel https://forum.mysensors.org/topic/3453/mysbootloader-1-3-pre-release-myscontroller-1-0-0beta/186

@JeeLet the value, you have to set.
V_STATUS is not available in MyController, since it is not reported yet.
adding in setup sends the data only once. If you would like to retain the old status from MyController in your node, remove the send(msg.set(value==HIGH ? 1 : 0)); from your setup and create V_STATUS manually in MyController

• add new field in Resources >> Fields >> Add,
  

@JeeLet can you add send(msg.set(value==HIGH ? 1 : 0)); // Relay in your setup(){} function?

• message.getType - returns the type of the message. you can see different types in https://www.mysensors.org/download/serial_api_20 under set, req
• message.getBool - returns the boolean value of your payload. MySensors sends and receives all the payload in string format. in the arduino sketch with this different type of get functions you can get exact payload without additional steps. more details on https://www.mysensors.org/apidocs/classMyMessage.html

@qobouky You are correct, the Binary type sensors should be visible here.
I just revisited your sketch and I found a conflict on the allocated sensors id

#define CHILD_ID_HUM 0
#define CHILD_ID_TEMP 1
#define CHILD_ID_CO2 2

#define NUMBER_OF_RELAYS 3 // Total number of attached relays
void presentation()  {
present(CHILD_ID_HUM, S_HUM);
present(CHILD_ID_TEMP, S_TEMP);
present(CHILD_ID_CO2, S_AIR_QUALITY);

 for (int sensor=1, pin=RELAY_PIN; sensor<=NUMBER_OF_RELAYS; sensor++, pin++) {
    // Register all sensors to gw (they will be created as child devices)
    present(sensor, S_BINARY);
  }
}

your relay sensor id should start from 3 or above.
I do not see the use of pin=RELAY_PIN.
You can present the status of your relay's, that can create V_STATUS on MyController

example:

#define RELAY_SENSOR 3 // Relay sensor starts at 3

void presentation()  {
....
MyMessage relayMsg(RELAY_SENSOR, V_STATUS);
for (int sensor=RELAY_SENSOR; sensor < (RELAY_SENSOR + NUMBER_OF_RELAYS); sensor++) {
    // Register all sensors to gw (they will be created as child devices)
    present(sensor, S_BINARY);
    relayMsg.sensor = sensor;
    send(relayMsg.set(loadState(sensor))); // current status of the relay
  }
}

NOTE: You have to update your relay code on setup and in receive too

@RagoTube looks like we need a gateway in a sensor network and with the help of gateway node-node communication can happen. The beauty of MySensors gateway is, you can use your gateway as a node.
I just updated my example shown here. Now the display node is a gateway node.
