forward data to emoncms.org

Submitted by Guest on Sun, 05/05/2013 - 19:30

I have problems to forward the collected data from emoncms on my local pi to emoncms.org.

What I did so far:

1) I made an account at emoncms.org

2) In the Input tab I clicked on Input API Help and copied the read & write Apikey

3) I pasted this key on my local pi in the emoncms raspberry pi tab

4) I got a Authentication successful!

But, I can't see any inputs/feeds on my emoncms.org account. What am I doing wrong?

thanks for your help

Do you have a gateway script running ? Either raspberry_run.php or rfm2pi_gateway.py. See readme for installation procedure.

You should have a message in the local rapsberry pi tab telling you whether or not a script is running.

yes, the script is running. It says

RFM12 to Pi interface script is up and running.

But no inputs are forwarded to emoncms.org

Which script are your running ?

Did you pay a look at the logs ? (See readme.)

I'm not sure if this will be the same for you, but after entering the read & write api into the raspberry pi tab on the local emoncms i logged into SSH and typed:

*****EDIT***** Please make sure you change directory first by "cd /var/www/emoncms/Modules/raspberrypi"

the username and password for ssh is user: pi pass: raspberry

pi@emoncmspi /var/www/emoncms/Modules/raspberrypi $ sudo service rfm12piphp stop

^C
pi@emoncmspi /var/www/emoncms/Modules/raspberrypi $ sudo service rfm12piphp start
Starting RPI
pi@emoncmspi /var/www/emoncms/Modules/raspberrypi $ sudo reboot

It wouldnt work at first no matter what i did, i even tried changing the remotesend option to 1 in the database but it failed.

Typing these commands seemed to give it a kickstart, is this possibly a bug?

Mike

Hey Mike thank you so much.

I followed your advice, logged on the pi and

1) pi@emoncmspi /var/www/emoncms/Modules/raspberrypi $ sudo service rfm12piphp stop

2) pi@emoncmspi /var/www/emoncms/Modules/raspberrypi $ php raspberrypi_run.php

3 )pi@emoncmspi /var/www/emoncms/Modules/raspberrypi $ sudo service rfm12piphp start

and I got my data to emoncms.org straight away! After rebooting it was the same problem as before, no incoming

data to emoncms.org. So just stopping the service and restarting it without a reboot is a good solution for me.

regards

Dominic
