Re: cant login to emoncms

Have you looked into 'emonhub.conf' already?

Re: cant login to emoncms

nope... i'm still in the past where emoncms was very basic...

 

but thanks for the pointer

Re: cant login to emoncms

did give it a look.... but what setting there brings up the RFM12 option in emoncms?

Re: cant login to emoncms

I am not using the RFM12, but I think you can set all options (COM-Port, band, group, ID) in emonhub.conf.

Re: cant login to emoncms

i follow this and almost at buttom it shows the RFM12 section...

Sorry, I thought you were talking abut the 'low write' image (emonSD-13-08-14.img). And there all the settings are done in emonhub.conf already.

Re: cant login to emoncms

yes... that was the one trystan suggested.... 

 

so i just add my nodes there too and they should show up as inputs?

JBecker's picture

Re: cant login to emoncms

Yes. Something like that worked for me.

EDIT: you normally do not have to 'add' any nodes there because all data coming in from the RFM12Pi board contains the node information already and the inputs appear automatically.

 

But I had to find out the hard way that there are two different installation guides. If you follow the guide here:

https://github.com/emoncms/emoncms/blob/bufferedwrite/docs/setup.md 

the system will not autostart and some other things will not work, too.

Paul (pb66) showed me this link with some extra settings which leads to a fully working, autostarting system:

https://github.com/emoncms/emoncms/blob/bufferedwrite/docs/install.md

 

We started to discuss this in another thread, but somebody just deleted this part ..... (without moving it into another thread)!?!

Re: cant login to emoncms

well the led on the RFM12 module is blinkin so the data is getting that far...

 

but no new inputs in emoncms yet

Re: cant login to emoncms

Did you set the write api key correctly?

Not sure if this is needed for showing the inputs!?!

boelle's picture

Re: cant login to emoncms

i thought the api was only if i wanted to send to the real emoncms? i want to store local and make the dashboard local..

boelle's picture

Re: cant login to emoncms

anyways trying with the api from the local emoncms and inserting it in to emonhub.conf

JBecker's picture

Re: cant login to emoncms

I think it is for the data base. Did you try to set it?

boelle's picture

Re: cant login to emoncms

did not work :-/

boelle's picture

Re: cant login to emoncms

set api key? or database? 

 

but yes took the api key from emoncms interface and inserted it in the .conf ... still no nodes 

JBecker's picture

Re: cant login to emoncms

Did you reboot? Not sure when the emonhub.conf is read. Possibly only on startup?

boelle's picture

Re: cant login to emoncms

yep rebooted.... 

 

 

JBecker's picture

Re: cant login to emoncms

To make the confusion complete, in my setup there are two files 'emonhub.conf'. One is under .../emonhub/conf/ and the other one under /boot. The one under /boot is the right one to modify (in my case!).

Re: cant login to emoncms

ok... let try that :-D

boelle's picture

Re: cant login to emoncms

yep...

its the one in boot to edit... and api key has to be set
