Cannot 'find' emonbase on my network

Emoncms Installation
1

I have an emonbase connected to my laptop via Ethernet. I’m trying to locate the ip address so that I can shut it down properly. I have tried the following:

  1. Fing - doesn’t show raspberry pi or emon pi
  2. In cmd in Windows - ping raspberrypi.local / ping emonpi.lan - request times out
  3. Looked in my router settings, but the raspberrypi Ethernet isn’t highlighted and only gives a MAC address

Is there anyway to shut it down without access to the device command line. I have access via emoncms

I’m not sure that will get an address and route correctly as the ethernet port on your laptop is not a ‘switch’. Can you plug it into your router?

Do you mean via the UI? What address are you using in the browser?

3

Yes, via the UI. The address in the browser is 192.168.1.16

I’m still getting request timed out when trying to ping now that i have connected directly to the router

I’m assuming that even if i do get the ip, then i will need to add the ssh.txt file to the SD card anyway before I can access the emonbase directly

i have managed to get the emonbase connected via ssh. Not sure what was wrong before, but now its working so i can switch it off correctly
