All nodes inactive

Well both logs seem to report issues with MQTT, do you have Mosquitto running? are there any logs for Mosquitto?

no mosquitto installed,
I have the original emonpi of may 2015, with 2 CT and one voltage sensor that’s all,
I suppose that the MQTT is some development that have to be not activate on my installation (at least as is now). but how to stop it?

Can I download the last SD image and update everything?
Is it compatible with my emonpi version?
I made a backup of all data.

As far as I recall Mosquitto has been installed on every SD image since the emonPi was released so you should have it.

However the earlier images had the Nodes module which is no longer supported, the MQTT input of emonCMS has been changed significantly and the MQTT implementation in the emonpi variant of emonHub altered to suit those changes.

If you have your data backed up, I think perhaps you would be better off investing your time in to personalizing a fresh image rather than trying to fix a broken and out of date image.

Thanks Paul,
I’m not so familiar with software in general and “linux command” is a unknown world.
In any case I update the SD with latest version. Process is gone correctly.
Now i get the node running at least I see the value.
Inputs:

    Node	Key	Name	Process list	Updated	Value			
    emonpi	power1			-0s ago	181			
    emonpi	power2			-0s ago	-6.00			
    emonpi	power1pluspower2			-0s ago	175

This is good.
but now I’m not able to setup the feeds
following the setup procedure I get this error when I try to add a new feed as a “Log to feed”

ERROR: Feed could not be created, undefined

Could you tell me why?
I made a emonpi restart and also an update as suggested on some post on community, but with no result.

here is the log file

what I understand is that the RFM2pi get wrong data and discard some strings (but there is nothing connected!) the measured power1, power2,… is correct (it is night time). this means that the hardware part work correctly.

[if it is not correct to post here, please suggest me how to change/move the discussion.]

Unfortunately not, this has been reported before but it is unclear why it has happened. See these 2 posts

and on the old forum there are these

https://openenergymonitor.org/emon/search/node/ERROR%3A%20Feed%20could%20not%20be%20created%2C%20undefined

Are you by any chance using any odd characters in the feed names? try something simpler to see if it works eg “myfeed”, the feed names can be changed again afterwards.

Hi, thanks for your support,

no odd characters there are no feeds at all.
something strange happen when i open the feeds page. The page display “loading…” for a long time.

To avoid mistake I download a new image for an other mirror and rebuilt the SD.
No changes.

The only thing that I’m able to do is to add a feed out of “main” one, but after that I’m not able to see them. feed page still stay on “loading…”
even if i try to remove all feed from the node process.

I’m a bit lost :sob:

Any clues in emoncms.log?

?? I didn’t identify anything in particular.
I also try to import my backup feed does not imported “process not valid”

That’s emonhub.log, the issue is with emoncms, is there anything in emoncms.log?

makes me think when I first moved to phpfina etc on my hosted version. It was pointing to the wrong directories

Could it be there is some write refusal on the SD-card or lack of free space ?

Sorry,

last row appears when i try to upload my backup

Feed directory paths or permissions were my first thought but being a prepared image there should be no issues there, lack of space is possible I guess but I thought the SD card should auto expand on first boot.

@Pierluigi_Dall_Osto What size SD card are you using? and what is the result of using df -h at the command line?

Engine type 1 is timestore which is now deprecated.

Do you have any timestore feeds in your old data?

i use the original 4Gb SD card and write over it the new SD image with Win32DiskImager. as proposed in the guide.

As I’m on windows… I did not format the SD is it wrong?

thanks for any feedback and thinks that I’m a newbie on linux command

What you have done sounds right and should be correct, what about on the emoncms admin page, what is the reported disc usage there?

The data partition is 91% full so it might cause problems with importing your old data, but it would not stop you creating new feeds.

Are you still unable to create new feeds?

I set the feed name as “use”

Has that created an entry in emoncms.log?
