Basically what I want is to put the mcMod120 to send data 60 minutes, then put it in sleep mode for 20 minutes, then again 60 minutes sending and 20 minutes in sleep mode, and this is repeated infinitely.

I currently use this line to send data every 5 seconds:
Shared Event Publish() RaiseEvent Every 5 Seconds

What I'm going to do, is put in place of 5 seconds, 60 minutes, and I'm looking for a function to put:

Sleep (20 min)

And let this start again ..

Hello. That sounds like a good idea.
What temperature sensor do you use now? I guess you want to connect the same sensors that you have now.

I'm having the same problem. After a day or two, the data stops flowing and I need restart the gateway.

Versions:
McGateway 110:
GwVersion: 0.9-958
LpLanVersion: 0.9-615
McModule 110:
Version: not sure, but probably 0.9-615 as I updated everthing at the same time and I see 0.9.615 in my download/mcthings folde but the devices tool shows 0 for version.

Any way we can fix this?

I'm trying this for the first time and not having much luck. I have Mosquitto installed in a Docker container running under Ubuntu. On my laptop I can run MQTT.fx and successfully publish and subscribe. I also have Home Assistant connected, and it can respond to the messages published from MQTT.fx too.

I have the following code running on a mcModule110:

Class TestHeartbeat
    Shared Event SendMessage() RaiseEvent Every 15 Seconds
        Dim payload As ListOfByte = New ListOfByte()
        payload.Add("testing")
        Lplan.Publish("heartbeat", payload)
        LedGreen = Not LedGreen
    End Event
End Class

And I have the mcGate110 config set to my Mosquitto server (192.168.0.39:1883). The green LED goes on and off every 15 seconds, but no messages arrive at either MQTT.fx or Home Assistant. And MQTT.fx can scan for topics, but nothing shows up. Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi Junkboy,

Sorry for the delay.

1) How quickly are you expecting to transmit the acclerometer data? If you are trying to transmit any less than every 30 seconds, you will likely start to run into issues as the system is designed for low-power. It is not designed for continuous transmission of data due to the low-power and design of the platform. We do have many users who are using the accelerometer and either sending a sample every 30 seconds (or at a longer interval) or programming logic onto the device where you can do some computing to send out a particular value on an acceptable interval.

For your uses, you'll need to work on you code and programming to get what you need - since there are not a lot of available examples on using the accelerometer yet, you'll need to put in the time and effort on your own code at this time. as mentioned, in the new system there is some more accelerometer examples that might help you out but that wont be accessible until the new system is available to everyone (in the next month or two). There are users here on the forum that have done some fancy things with the accelerometer and might be able to provide you code and help. I do not have permission from our users and clients to share those examples at this time.

My recommendation would be to look at the library for the accelerometer within mcStudio to understand it a fully and you can also search around online for others using the same sensor of other hardware - you can then take those examples and work on moving them into the mcStudio environment for your own use.

Hope that helps!
