Bug reporting.....

Hi, Kurt
That looks like it may be a communications problem, have you cross-referenced your device ID on the https://www.mymidnite.com/?q=node/14 page? Has something changed on your network, or maybe a firmware update happened? It might be something flaky on the server as well, please don't take it the wrong way!

Hi, Kurt. I looked at the database, it seems like your Classic started acting up about 18:13:00 US Central Time on 5/15. Did anything change on your end then?

Thanks,

No changes on 5/15 unfortunately.

My classic is communicating perfectly over the internet via the local App so its connection seems fine. I will try a reset of the classic tomorrow when I am at the house.

I ended up recording 4 data points yesterday. So it is communicating just not that often.

I was just thinking. Dose having the local app open and running interfere with my midnite. Can it do both at the same time?

Thanks for looking into the issue.

The Classic should be able to handle both mymidnite and the local app, having said that, mymidnite _should_ be done already. It might be worth a quick check to shutdown the local app and see if that helps with the mymidnite comms. If that's the case I'll head back to the firmware and make sure that local and remote comms aren't interfering with each other.

Thanks,

My Classic seems to get all the data out to mymidnite. But it is always 10 to 13 hours behind.

As in the latest mymidnite data is from 10 to 13 hours ago.

Example today it is 09:45 and mymidnite latest data is from 10:39 PM yesterday.

Its been this way awhile for me.

I also noticed that the Yearly and Monthly Energy graphs use WH when the values are clearly KWH from my system

Just FYI.

Thanks, Tom,
I'll have a look. What is your timezone set to so I can check my math?

Thanks,

At lower lhs of Classic box there is an icon that is described as 'Internal Reset'  Is this the new name for watchdog reset?
Why the paucity of data?  I thought the connecting to MyMN was every 15 minutes?
Has anyone got a MyMN graph display for their connecting Classic that shows a full days data in 15minute increments?
With just 2 or 3 data points each day (for my Classic) it sorta makes My Midnite -  pointless

Here is a typical day from my Solar Classic

the internal reset can be do to the watchdog timer or because the user has Auto Night time reset enabled

Here are my test instances. The datapoints are all around 10-15 minutes apart. It might be a firmware issue, what version of fimrware are you running? It might be something else. Can you PM me your device IDs and I'll check the logs?

Thanks!

Ok, so it seems others are seeing data rich displays in their MyMidnite.
For my busy PV connected Classic 200BA94A I am lucky to see two data points per day and now from 1 June nothing
I am sure my internet connection is clean as there is zero packet loss to many US based servers I use.

Just a couple of suggestions, when sliding the window over the dates below graph box, the data in graph box does not change to the new data, you need to go and press DAY display before it updates the graph. Can this update be automated?
A full screen or BIG window graph box option would be nice
And a window display of text lines, one for each data point connection as per qnode/15 screen would be really useful too

dgd: do you have a mac or linux box running there somewhere?
I've been writing a small utility to read and log data from the classic, it could be interesting to see if you were able to poke data a different direction without loss and get all the datapoints. May (or may not) eliminate something?

Ross;  My rPi 'blackbox' connects via serial ports to both my active Classics and extracts data every 5 minutes from modbus registers.
I have not graphed the data yet but I get a daily list that looks good.  But I suppose this proves nothing as the MyMidnite connects via ethernet to the Classic or isn't it really the Classic that connects to the midnite server
I suspect the  mymidnite server name or ip is coded in the firmware?  it would be usefu if that could be redirected
Have you tried your utility over internet to remote Classic?

Cooool.... thats exactly the way TomW was running too, I think.
He should be able to shoot you a binary that'll just load and run on your rPi.

First thing will be to make sure it can talk to your classics over ethernet. (it should)
Once that's done, it's as simple as adding the  -w  switch to make it write some basic stuff to one of my servers for logging. Tom and I have that in simple scripts run from cron.

I suspect you're right, that either the fqdn or IP are hard-coded or on "undisclosed" registers. Easy way to intercept would be local DNS hack (if it uses FQDN), or IPFW to rewrite headers if it's just an IP.

Have you tried your utility over internet to remote Classic?

No, but happy to try if you have a remotely-accessible device? Will PM you my email, feel free to give me a whistle.

Just informationally the Classic connects to the mymidnite server using DNS resolution so if you want to use your own MX entry on a local DNS server, you can certainly redirect your Classic that way. The problem is that all traffic is encrypted using session keys so you would have to implement the decryption engine locally. We don't have plans to release our encryption algorithm at the moment -- and I realize there will inevitably be the security through obscurity comment, but we are using an industry-standard NIST approved technique -- so redirection might not gain you anything for the time being.

dgd -- the graph should update automatically when you move the navigation window -- which OS/browser/browser revision are you using so I can fix that for you?
