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?
Regards
Frank

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.
Ryan
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.
Ryan
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 :-X

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.
Anybody know when the online monitoring is going to be up..When I go to signup it say it is bata still ?
Thanks
Mike
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 ??
Mike
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.
Ryan
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...

Pricey in what way? Do you meant the development time that's gone into building the beta?
Anyway, thanks for the links. That's kinda what I had in mind... I may still end up seeing what I can build to log my controller data on my local web server, just for kicks. I really just want to be able to see the logged information without having to physically check the controller, or having to leave the local app open all the time.

Hi Chris... I meant that the server itself is kind of pricey.
I think that the rest of the software may very well be open source though.
I will let Andrew reply to that though. I'm mainly an embedded processor engineer
when it comes to programming.
In fact, most of my web/html programming is still done by using a simple text editor.

Hey there, tried to log onto mymidnite.com, but the message said that only beta testers were accepted: no mention of that in the manual.
'Sup?
Hi Guys,
Just wondering if you have a better idea of when the web based remote access for the Classic will be done? I know Andrew is buried and I appreciate all the hard work. Just excited to use/try it as I have Hughesnet at camp and they don't allow me to use dyndns as the router cannot see the WAN IP address.
Ryan, my camp is in Chesuncook village, I see your are in Maine somewhere. How far away are you?
Thanks
Scott
I am about 1.5 hours North West of you. Just outside Newport.
Andrew is making great strides on My MidNite. He decided to dump Adobe Air and go for a web page based version so it will work on anything practically. Also another thing he is doing is working on putting the Local App on the device as a web page as well. This will be nicer in the long run but has caused a bit of extra delay. The way Adobe is changind daily we felt it worth the extra time.
