My MidNite Down?

[smanners]

Having a bit of experience in setting up online style services like this there are really only two ways to do it:

1. Do it well and ensure it is reliable.
2. Don’t do it at all so you do not tarnish a good product by providing a bad service.

Unfortunately point one quite often costs a lot of money not just to set up but to keep running and keep pace with growing demand. I don’t see a lot of good services like this last very long.

I hope midnite do point one but if they can’t bin it please. The local app by Graham is terrific. Maybe scrap the web front end reduce data storage and tie it in with the Android app for internet based access. Appreciate the effort though.

I can connect to My Midnite but I am not seeing any data today. Any one else seeing this??

It seems to work after a refresh or two.

We are working on getting more maintenance help for My MidNite...

Lots of stuff going on in there evidently.

Here is a portion of the ad for this...

Hope you get someone who can get the bugs out My Midnite. This is the first time I have had a problem with it getting the data from my Classic. I've tried everything for the last two days including rebooting the Classic during the daytime and nothing has worked for me. I'm giving up for this weekend.

Thanks for the discussion. It helps to know that others are having data refresh problems. 

I'm having to query, 3 or 4 times, login out and then back in, before the data will come over but when it does, it is a glorious thing!
-------------------------------
I'm new to solar and to Midnite controllers. I was quite surprised to find that wi-fi connectivity was not built in to the unit (Classic 200V) but got over that mental hurdle and purchased an additional wi-fi bridge. It added to the whole system cost but was well worth it. 

My suggestion is to put the time and money into improving the whole "my midnite" service. If that means discontinuing the on-module support for the graphing or the wired Ethernet connection, so be it.

My preference would be either that or connecting in to a phone-based application, such as Blynk, that also allows full data downloads, as requested.

Just my two cents . . .

Please KEEP the wired ethernet connection. Wifi is sometimes wonderful, and sometime unstable as hell, has penetration problems with metal and masonry construction, opens additional attack surfaces, and subject to interference.

I want rock solid stability for a critical infrastructure. Others may want wifi, that's fine, but I definitely would not use it if available. 

[Westbranch]

Krementz.... +2 , I feel the same, wired  preferred to wifi onboard

Well if we can believe past hints from a long time ago Midnite is suppose to be working on a Com box of some type that would have a built in Web Server of some type that you would connect to.
Have not heard anything more about since Ryan departed. Although I thought I heard Robin make a reference to a Com box a little while back.

Have no idea if it is real or just taking a back burner to all the other projects. Here's hoping its still in the works.

[Westbranch]

Hi John, now that you mention it,  I remember  a more recent short comment on the Com Box too....
Hope springs eternal...
Have you noticed on this board, that when you sign in you start at the first post?
This started for me about a week or 2 ago.  I use Firefox 60.0.2 (64 bit) I think it was released June 6/18  .... I remember the 'loading  updates ' message recently... could be a bug in the script..

Is it just me tonight, or is mymidnite totally crashed. I am getting a timed out page when trying to load, but I'm traveling and using hotel wifi so I'm not sure if it's me . But eed to get logged in. Wanted to check on my system back home.
