My jump to Emoncms V9

So as recommended i create a new thread

And i have followed https://github.com/emoncms/emoncms/tree/9.0/docs/RaspberryPi VERY CLOSE

at the step where you should click update database i did

 

but before i move on to emonhub i check if i can create a dashboard and put something on it... And like before i cant

Since V9 is so new a search in the forums did not turn up anything i could use... will keep looking thou

EDIT: 3rd last post in this one is the same problem http://openenergymonitor.org/emon/node/11461

i run on chrome thou

Re: My jump to Emoncms V9

btw... for this next command: 
git clone https://github.com/emonhub/dev-emonhub.git ~/dev-emonhub && ~/dev-emonhub/install

 

i should be in home dir right?

 

any clue why dashboard needed a F5 in exploder and chrome to work?

Re: My jump to Emoncms V9

Yes, although it shouldn't make much difference.

Because the previous version's code was cached in your browser.

oki, well emonhub started ok too... 

so it beats me what went wrong... i did excatly as before... and yet there was a difference in the outcome

Something i want to add... and i have looked near and far on this... 

 

a button near my hot water widget that i can use to heat up water should i need it at odd hours.

 

i pretty much have an understanding on how the sketch at the emontx should be...

 

what puzzles me is how to make the button alter the value in the packet gen page...

 

that raises the next question... where did packet gen go in V9 ?

Re: My jump to Emoncms V9

Will packetgen come back? and will there be a small guide on how to create a button etc so we can turn heating etc on and off from dashboard?

 

i know there is a link for how trystan(or was it glyn?) but that was done by directly editing the packetgen value when logged in... and not much telling on how it was done with a complete guide
