My Midnite..when will it go live?

[phonetic]

I managed to connect my classic 150 to my 3G wirless router at my weekender, I can use the local midnite status panel, using dyndns, all works fantastic.
couple of questions..how much data is used by the monitoring app ? will there be a web access app for when im at work our cororate firewall dont allow apps and use of ports, allowed http and port 80 only?

My MidNite will be a web based app and should not require any ports to be opened on the computer side of things. You would be able to just log on to a website like you would this forum. I understand that is real close but I will ask Andrew to jump in and give us a status report.

I will also ask Andrew about the amount of data the App uses.

Ok chatted with Andrew. There is no official release date on My MidNite Andrew is eyeball deap in a few projects. The Local app if connected to the Classic 24/7 for a month should use about 663MB of data. This is being trimmed as Andrew finds ways to trim it and there will likely be a "Low Data" check box in the future for people on limited data plans.

On launch day, there likely will be a few hundred of us go online...well the first few days..<g>

You guys are going in the right direction.

thanks

I counted  6 files per day, each 330K in size for the local app.  This is not in the ballpark with the 663Megs that Halfcrazy  is posting.  So my local app is using about 40Mb per month for the data.

Well the way the local app should work is if it is connected 24-7 to the Classic is it polls once every 2 seconds so the amount of data that it transmits every 2 seconds would then be multiplied by 30 for a minutes worth than 60 for an hours worth so on for the month.

This begs the question -- what is the amount of data that is getting logged evert two seconds? Can you ask Andrew? Thx!

Better check to make sure your local app is actually connected all day. Since day one, my local app hasn't managed to stay connected for more than an hour or so without freezing.  I too was under the impression that the logs were very large but since I've yet to have the local app run all day without freezing up there is no way I can measure how much data is actually being stored.

Since more than a month I haven't even bothered with the local app

Does restarting the App reconnect it or do you have to reboot the Classic? I am running the latest Firmware here and the newest Local App and I have had 4 Classics logging for 2 months since your problem popped up. I am unable to re create it now. In the beginning I had 2 Classics that needed a frequent re boot but Andrew has fixed that it seems.

I am not the best at networking etc but if you give me an exact (as detailed as possible) description of how the Classic is connected to the PC I will obtain the stuff and recreate your install. I will also need the Firmware dates for the Classic and MNGP as well as the version of the Local App you are running.

Ryan

PS I am going to start a new thread on this subject and ask anyone with similar issues to post as much info as possible on there setup in that thread.

This is the error I get

"The values you have entered are not a valid MAC/Device ID combination
Please note that we are in BETA so at the moment only approved BETA testers will be able to register.
Thanks for your patience!"

Any help ??

Yeah Andrew is still feverishly working behind the scenes to get My MidNite going. He had been focusing a lot on the Local App which runs on the PC. Hopefully he will chime in here with an update.

Thank you for the update.

Any chance of pushing My Midnight to be open source so that other devs (such as myself) in the community can contribute to the project? It might speed things up a little bit

Hi Chris...

The problem with making My Midnite itself open is that it is already pricey to have there already just for Classics.
Now, there are some other open servers for this kind of stuff that you and others (and us) might be interested
in...  For instance,  pvoutput.org    (Check out    http://pvoutput.org/outputs.jsp  )

and also  https://cosm.com/  (https://cosm.com/feeds/75889)  like Stephendv uses...
