Sending data from Raspbery Pi to Emoncms.org

I feel slightly embaressed posting this, but having scoured OpenEnergyMonitor I cannot find a description of how to do this. I am running a raspberry Pi as my base station with an EmonTX and EmonGLCD for solar PV monitoring (all of which is working fine). I have Emoncms set-up on the Pi OK and I have feeds linked to inputs linked to nodes from both the TX and GLCD.

I have set-up an account on emoncms.org, and from what I have read I presume the data should be mirrored automatically from the Pi once the server details are entered correctly? I currently have the message "Incorrect remote server details" displayed on the local Emoncms 'Raspberry Pi' tab. I am using "http://emoncms.org" as the Domain name, and have inserted the apikey from my Emoncms.org account. Is this correct or am I missing something obvious?
Thanks for the advice.

It is emoncms.org rather than http://emoncms.org, I have been intending to actually switch this too http://emoncms.org to allow https:// etc but for now it is emoncms.org.

Thanks, all working now. I knew it had to be something obvious!

Hi I have the same Problem but it doesn't work ...

What is your exact config in the Pi EmonCMs

I have
Protocol: http://
Domain name: emoncms.org
Path emoncms: /jideyf
apikey : my read/write key from online account

Thanks

The path to emoncms is /

ie just a backslash

Emoncms knows your account name because of your API key, and doesn't need it adding elsewhere.

Authentication successful !

Now the Inputs are transmetted online, I created my feeds once again, also rebuild my dashboard, now all seems to be OK !

Re: Sending data from Raspbery Pi to Emoncms.org

I have
Protocol: http://
Domain name: emoncms.org
Path emoncms: /
apikey : my read/write key from online account

it stays saing   Incorrect remote server details

when i try set settings from the help page it says:
{"success":true,"message":"Field updated","remotesend":false}

Can anyone give me some hints. I try to solve this by going true the Build from scratch but that gives no result.

I also build the new Rock Solid gateway, but then i have no possibility for the graphics.

Regards, Frans

Re: Sending data from Raspbery Pi to Emoncms.org

I've the same issue than geurink33...

Protocol: http://
Domain name: emoncms.org
Path emoncms: /
apikey : read/write key from RaspberriPi API Help

Another question : Where put this APIKEY in the Raspberry ?

apikey : read/write key from RaspberriPi API Help

No, that's incorrect. You get the api key from your emoncms.org account.
Log into emoncms.org and then go to http://emoncms.org/feed/api  and copy the read & write api key, paste it into the 'Raspberry Pi' page of your local emoncms.
