Sensor serials and sensor ranking

Hi,

I'm a bit confused

I have added two sensors to the OS network on sunday, using the feeder software.

When I look at the "my Sensors" on the OS webpage, they are listed as "-1408237544" and "-1408237543". But when I look at the "10-serial.conf" they are listed as "2886729752" and "2886720753"

The "my Sensors" section is showing "-1408237543"/"2886720753" as the 67th for the total qty of messages for the 13/02. But the sensor ranking is showing "90143" as 67th with a much lower msg quantity.

why do I see different serials for my nodes (negative/postive number) and why is the ranking showing different serials on the ranks listed for my sensors?

Is it a bug ? Or a feature ? Or am I just confused with all that numbers ?

best...

Hi dhj,

this is a known issue and will be fixed at some point. The reason is that we set the 32-th bit of the serial number (32 bit integer) to 1 if it is a feeder. Our web server interprets the number as a signed 32-bit integer, while the feeder on the device interprets it as a 32 bit unsigned integer. So it's actually the same (binary) number, just two different interpretations.

This will be harmonized soon.

The rankings are indeed a bit mixed up at the moment. We'll fix this as soon as possible Thanks for reporting!

Hi Matthias,

thanks for the explanation.

I thought of an signed/unsigned issue earlier, but I obviously made a big mistake in my calculations which made me think of a bug...

The relationship is 2886720753 - 2^32 = 2886720753 - 4294967296 = -1408246543

thanks now I see my mistake, it was a quite stupid one
