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 :balloon:

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).

MyController.org Released 0.0.2-alpha3 :thumbsup:

@skywatch @mfalkvidd Thank you for your comments.

I am using Moteino R4 and RFM69 connected to hardware SPI pins. I tried the same pin with softSPI, but I could not get success.

Now I have altered the ADE7763 Arduino library to update SPI settings on every call. And added code to update the only flag on ADE7763 interrupt(like we have in RFM69_new library). Seems all look somewhat ok.

I think for RFM69 we use a default clock speed. for ADE7763: SPI_CLOCK_DIV4

Are you using pull up resistors on the CS lines to each device - that might be worth a try too....

Yes, I have

MyController.org released 0.0.2-alpha5 build

@mfalkvidd said:

Is anyone using MyController + Domoticz (or some other controller) at the same time?
I really want to try OTA firmware, and for that MyController seems great. But I have all my sensors in Domoticz and I don't want to lose that functionality until I know MyController works well.

I saw this request but I'm unable to understand if it already works or if it still needs development.

@mfalkvidd MyController supports OTA update via MQTT from this release https://github.com/mycontroller-org/mycontroller/releases/tag/0.0.2-alpha6 with MySensors 1.6 development branch.

MyController has it's own inbuilt MQTT broker. You can use inbuilt broker or you use your favorite MQTT broker. Broker settings can be changed form here in your installation it will be in

mycontroller/conf/mycontroller.properties

RELEASE NOTES AND USER DOCUMENT NEEDS TO BE UPDATED. STAY TUNED!

@chrispy @mfalkvidd sorry for the inconvenience. I didn't notice it. I have enabled search option for guests.

@hek you are right! There was an entry for Node-2 in Node-1 routing table, As it has direct access to Node-2, was trying to send directly. I removed the entry and now it's going throw gateway. All node works well. Perfect!

I thing we have to add code to remove routing table entry dynamically if it face some N number of failures. It will make life easier for those who is shifting node from one location to another location often.

Kindly update MyController.org changes. Updated in this doc

@RagoTube examples are there in,
