Re: rfm2pigateway error

Mm iv not seen this before. Are you running the stock emoncms gateway image?http://emoncms.org/site/docs/raspberrypigateway

Re: rfm2pigateway error

He is using a local emoncms installation with the RPi plugin, not the standalone gateway:

    /var/www/emoncms/Modules/raspberrypi/rfm2pigateway.py

The error is here:

https://github.com/emoncms/raspberrypi/blob/master/rfm2pigateway.py#L367

Probably because settings is not of the expected form. Most likely, the request for settings failed. This could be caught with a nicer exception, perhaps.

This has nothing to do with the emontx_ct123 sketch in your emonTX.

Did you do the mySQL installation and all ? Can you detail your installation process ? SD card image ? Ready-made ? Which ? From scratch ? Which steps did you follow ?

Can you try, once logged into your local emoncms installation, to open in your browser the following URL (adapted to your setup) ?

http://localhost/emoncms/raspberrypi.get.json

(local host if you run the browser on the Pi, otherwise, the hostname or IP address of the Pi, anyway, the same URL your use to connect to your local emoncms to parameter and watch the outputs).

You should get the parameters the gateway script expects, like:

    {"userid":"1","sgroup":"210",...,"remoteprotocol":"http:\\/\\/"}

If not (most likely), then that's the problem. I'd expect a mySQL connection error.
