Title: Latest firmware Mymidnite stops reporting?
Post by: Riverwind on September 07, 2014, 02:15:12 PM
I have recently installed the latest firmware and am seeing Mymidnite stop reporting. This has happened twice and does not correct itself. Local status keeps working but I have no data on Mymidnite. Have to reset unit to get it to start reporting again. Any ideas why this is happening?

I have not had any other complaints. Maybe if it is not to much trouble you could revert one Classic back to the last version you where running and see if it goes away? I wonder if it is just coincidence?

My system is a couple of hours away so i won't be able to.  It has been working flawlessly since i updated it and added the whizbang 2 months or so ago.  On the weekend i had to work on the batteries so i simply shut the circuit breaker from the panels for 20 minutes or so and also adjusted the end amps down 2 amps. Nothing else i can think of.  Here is a screen shot of the last 3 days.

It decided to work normally today without any intervention!

Makes me wonder if you are using DHCP to get network settings for the Classic?

If so they often have a "lease" time and you may not get a proper DHCP setup until the lease on the original IP expires?


If you have it set for a static IP (best) then this will not apply.

Grasping straws here but possible.

To paraphrase:

My problem occurred twice and seems to have self healed. It's only been a couple of weeks so will advise of any recurrence.

Sadly it appears to have cropped up again. See this latest screen shot. The wind Classic is reporting but the Solar is down and the Local Status Panel works correctly. Anybody have any ideas??

This might be a network problem. Are both units running on the same network or is there something in between one and not the other? The Classic-MyMidNite connection is not very tolerant of high traffic as well, are you running bit-torrent or Dropbox on the same network? If so you may consider separating the classic and home networks so that they don't confuse each other.
I'm sitting on a new version of the mymidnite protocol which should be much more fault tolerant. I will release as beta when I get the green light from the boss.

"the boss" is just anyone who tells me to do anything. I'm easy. Years of programming has softened my brain.

Hi atop8918, both units are plugged into the same router, which also has a Mate3 but nothing else. That router is plugged into a wireless router upstream that is plugged into a satellite router :o Never been a problem until the last few weeks.

Hey Ryan get with the program, we only use environmentally friendly green lights now  ;D
