What software and versions are you using on the emonBase? did you follow a guide or use a ready made image?

Where are you looking at the values? inputs page or nodes page? Are the inputs created ok?

If you have "rfm12" devices I'm guessing you have had them running previously maybe? Are you migrating old data or is this a fresh install?

If you have emonhub installed, set "loglevel = DEBUG" in emonhub.conf and check emonhub.log for info, this is where you will find out if the packets from the rfm2pi are being processed correctly and passed on to emoncms.

Hello Paul,

This is a fresh install : I installed the latest software on a clean SD-card last week following th guide I found on the openenergymonitor-website.

I'm looking in the nodes-pages. It seems to me that there is no inputs page ... Where can I find these ?

The log files :

Hi Roeland

"This is a fresh install : I installed the latest software on a clean SD-card last week following th guide I found on the openenergymonitor-website."

For future reference, this site has many guides and many softwares that were all the latest at some point, if you can quote version numbers, names, build dates or link to the guide or software it makes things much easier for all.

Although the emonhub log doesn't show a version number I can tell it's "emon-pi" variant and the second-line tells us the RFM2Pi isn't responding to the 38400 baud, the fact you have an rfm12b device means it's probably 9600. This can be edited in emonhub.conf [interfacers] [[RFM2Pi]] [[[init_settings]]] by setting "com_baud = 9600", while you are in there delete the "calibration = " line in [[[runtimesettings]]] as it serves no purpose unless used with a emonPi and it can create loads of warnings in the log.

See what you have then, it probably won't totally fix it as I have no way of guessing the emonTx payload definition from the info above and therefore the pre-defined nodes in the emonhub.conf are unlikely to match and the packets will be discarded, as you are using the nodes module every node must be fully disclosed in emonub.conf.

The inputs pages is definitely not available in v8.5 low-write emoncms and I'm unsure whether it's definitely available in v9.2 on the latest SDcard or not so I cannot say if or how the inputs page can be found.

Show some new log if you need further help to define the payload in [nodes]

Paul
