Mymidnite doesn't see my Classic

[SolarMusher]

Hi all,
A little late with mymidnite website monitoring and would need a little help.
All is connected, but mymidnite says that the Classic has not been able to connect to the server for more than two weeks.
No problem with the loc app on LAN and all is up to date.
Static IP, web enabled, win7 (win explorer).
What could I do?
Thanks,
Erik

Hi, Erik,
What version of firmware are you running? You may have to update to the latest on midnitesolar.com

Allo Andrew,
Classic Firmware was updated two days ago, but I'm afraid that my Classic DI could be wrong. Classic 200 DI was 0435 6000 into the Classic but I'm not sure that I should enter 0 at the begining in mymidnite.
Thanks
Erik

I've rebooted the Classic and I can see it on mymidnite now, great!
Thanks,

Hi,

Same problem for me after upgrading firmware yesterday to 1401, doing a VMM and a reboot. All network settings are as they were when node/14 successfully saw the classic, but not now connecting to mymidnite.

My Classic DI is 9F53 298E.

Very nice!
Andrew, what would be the next functionalities that you'd like to add to mymidnite?
What's this Node14 that everyone is talking about?
Keep on the good work,
Erik

Erik,

My understanding is that it was basically a temporary web page that displayed the Classic DIs of successful connections to mymidnite.

That is how I knew my classic did connect to mymidnite in the past.

Hi Chris,
Maybe you could try to login first to mymidnite and reboot your classic after a while, that's what I did.
Mymidnite reads the Classic each 10/12 minutes, was it the same for you?
Good luck,
Erik

Erik,

I think I already tried that, but I'll give it go just in case.

I have no idea about update periods, so good to know what you experienced and what to reasonably expect.

Thanks

Chris.

Node 14 & 15 were test pages so I could verify that Classics were dialing in and delivering data. They were never meant for production. The same information is available on your display page if the Classic is dialing in.

The Classic should be trying to dial in every 5 minutes to deliver data, it is only allowed to deliver data every 10 minutes, though otherwise my server would explode!

Chris, is it possible that the update and VMM reset your Classic to not call into mymidnite? Just verify that the Network->Web Access is still set to ENABLED if you haven't already done this.

Let us know if it doesn't work and we'll try to get to the bottom of it.

Thanks!

Yes, I double and triple checked that the web access is enabled and still no luck.

Have you tried resetting the Classic? Sometimes the DNS doesn't resolve properly on first boot for some reason.

Sorry Erik, I didn't answer your question. The next features slotted for mymidnite are:

- email alerts
- ordering classics on the display as they are set on Management
- Better scale handling so that you can "zoom up" on smaller features of certain data sets

There are a bunch more but those are the highest priority for now. In addition I'm working so we can add future products to the site as well.

Chris, another thing you could try would be, disable web + enter and re-enable web + enter several times and reboot at the end with mymidnite opened.
Not very technical, but it won't hurt.
Good luck and don't give up,
Thanks Andrew for the detailed explanations, take care of your server  .
A+
Erik

I created an account today with mymidnight but it keeps saying "the classic has not been able to communicate with the server....." and there is no data available.  Web access is 'enabled' and my local app is working fine.

Ideas? When i entered my MAC ID i didn't seperate the numbers with :  I tried adding the same device again but it wouldn't le me

Device ID: 5936 834F
