Hey Peter,

I could access my web application without even login to conduit and node-red, but when I restart the conduit, I have to wait about 7-10 minutes to access web-application, until then it shows this error as mentioned before.

Why it is taking such a long time ?

Thanks

Thanks for your help Peter.. Appreciated it.. Just one more question, how can I remotely access conduit, make changes and would be able to deploy the code ?

ok thanks..What I have notice strange thing is that, after importing a flow you mentioned and running that, my flow also started to working even without login into node-red.

[Akshay Bhavsar]

/home/root/data.txt , how can I make this file to readable by everyone ?

[Akshay Bhavsar]

Here is the flow.

I have tried the flow you mentioned, I can access that one even without login in to node-red. I am not sure what is the problem with my flow.

Thanks

[Akshay Bhavsar]

I do use http request and response node. Have a look attached flow for confirmation.

https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B8vP1Z3v0Sw8cFNwZGpZNDAzSnc

When I try to run https://192.168.2.1:1880/test without login to node-red, I see error page.

Can anyone please explain this how to solve this scenario with more concrete example ?

Thanks

[Akshay Bhavsar]

What I want to exactly do is like if I give my conduit to other person, then he should be able to access web-page app directly ( by just going to https://192.168.2.1:1880/test), without even login to conduit and node-red. How can I do this ?

Another question is if any problem occurs then, I should be able to fix it remotely by accessing node-red and GUI of Multitech conduit. So, how could I access multitech conduit remotely without using Simcard.

Any help would be great !

Thanks

[Akshay Bhavsar]

Thanks for your help Jeff. Is it possible to access webpage directly without even login to Node-RED page ?

[Akshay Bhavsar]

Hi there,

I have solved this by using following command.

var battery = ((msg.payload).slice((msg.payload.length)-9,(msg.payload.length)-8));
var rBuf_battery = new Buffer(battery,'hex');
var battery_val = (rBuf_battery.readInt8(0));

readInt8(0) function can be readUInt8(0) for unsigned number. Also depending the length of hex number this function can also be write as readInt16(0) and readInt32(0).

Thanks

[Akshay Bhavsar]

Hi Peter,

Have you find anything ?

Thanks
Akshay

The output of debug node, without the function is as follow

00820dfdbd803008a08856

I want to slice 4 hex number at the end and convert it into decimal.
I just found that slice doesn’t written data type in hex. If I just assign hard value of hex number as
var a = 0xfb5216ff

It does convert into number by using parseInt command.

[Akshay Bhavsar]

Here is the flow

var longitude= ((msg.payload).slice((msg.payload.length)-4,msg.payload.length));
longitude = parseInt(longitude,16);
return longitude;

[Akshay Bhavsar]

It is in byte mode, but doesn’t give me any data. Is there any alternative ?

[Akshay Bhavsar]

Thanks Guys, I have found out the problem.

MTDOT-BOX was configured wrong. The data rate was DR0 and max payload was 100, so I set up data rate to DR4 and max payload to 242. So, I am getting payload in both applications LoRa Demo and survey signal.

following link has command for it. if anyone find same problem.

[Akshay Bhavsar]

Is there any updates on this issue ?

[Akshay Bhavsar]

Thanks jeff

[Akshay Bhavsar]

Thanks Jeff,

I am not going to use cellular same time , but can I use it as one of internet connection might have drop or other problem, just as a backup ?

Look like link tab doesn’t work.

[Akshay Bhavsar]

[Akshay Bhavsar]

Hi Steve,

I did that, but not able to see anything on debug tab. It does join and I can see in statics. Have a look the image.

[Akshay Bhavsar]

Hi Steve,

Is there any updates on this or the code you have provided might have something wrong in it. MTDOT-BOX-G-195 do join conduit box. When I run IP address of conduit box and check system log and under the LoRa tab it does shows the connection. I have used your code( as mentioned above thread) in Node-RED and send data from MTDOT-BOX, but do not able to see that in debug window.

Your help would be great.

Thanks
Akshay

[Akshay Bhavsar]

Hi guys,
Don’t worry about the above error, I figure it out.

Now the problem is I am note able to receive data on debug window of Node-RED. I am successfully able to join MTDOT-Box-G-915 to MultiConnect Conduit. When I run LoRa Demo from theMTDOT-Box-G-915 and send the the data not able to receive it on Node-RED.

I have imported the code as @Steve Kovarik has suggested.

So, What can be the issue ?

Thanks
Akshay

@steve Thanks man. It has created above code, but still I am not able to see data on Node-RED at debug window.

When I deploy I am getting following error, what that means and how can I correct it ?

Thanks guys
