emonGLCD time update

Submitted by gapintheclouds on Mon, 27/07/2015 - 16:35

Hello,

I'm experiencing a time update problem whereby the time on my emonGLCD only displays uptime instead of normal time. I am running emoncms installed on a Raspberry Pi and the GLCD is picking up the power readings from emonTX v2.

I've added "sendtimeinterval = 60" to emonhub.conf and restarted the emonhub service (also with debug):

Previous posts have suggested that there should be a "DEBUG Broadcasting time: " line but I haven't seen one.

Any ideas anyone? Many thanks.

You need " interval" in emonhub.conf not "sendtimeinterval", the norm is to use "interval = 300" (300s being 5mins).

BTW you don't need to restart emonhub when updating the settings, the changes are picked up and implemented in runtime.

Hi Paul.

Thanks for that. Excellent! And thanks for the not-having-to-restart-emonhub tip :-).

Cheers.
