Device Error, I cannot edit inputs. Bit of a show stopper HELP!

I don’t know if it might be significant but 2 days ago I got the “maximum inputs reached, input ??? Ignored”
I immediately edited settings to raise limit from 32 to 64.

A progress report.

The last update had a number of changes in demandshaper.
This morning I went into demandshaper and only 2 devices were showing called Default but http://192.168.1.22/demandshaper/clearall restored them to original names.

OpenEVSE has now disappeared from the list of devices.

Thanks @ian, has that made any difference to the input list? I imagine you are seeing the same error?
Device module looks up to date in the log, so that’s fine.

@TrystanLea

Difficult to see any changes on the input list with the error popping up so quickly I cannot scroll completely down the list.

As a last resort I have just upgraded to emonSD-24Jul20 (Stable) image.

USB import worked perfectly.

Bad news is the problem remains when I switch to inputs page!

There was an error creating device: nodeid=openevse message=Device already exists

And as I reported in an earlier post OpenEVSE disappeared from Demandshaper although that may be the result of the demandshaper updates I pulled in on the last update.

Should I now try all the delete methods I tried before? I haven’t taken any action so far in case there is any reports I can obtain and post to help track the issue.

Also what process should I follow to get OpenEVSE into demandshaper? Again I have done nothing since switching to the latest image apart from running an update.

I did manage to get a screenshot of openevse.
Do the details looks correct?

Agh how frustrating, sorry about this.

do you see the device openevse in your device list, if you look at it manually?

/device/list.json

I think I’ve found what’s causing the issue, I think it’s a capitalisation issue, If you have a device in the device list that is capitalised differently from the nodeid in the input list it’s causing this error, I’ve just been able to replicate it here.

Can you check if there is a device called openevse with different capitalisation on the hidden device page:

/device/view

If there is, you can delete it from there safely without affecting your inputs.

I’ve pushed a fix for this to the device module, if you would like to run the updater instead it should fix it for you.

Yes I’ve just released v2! I will be doing a forum post on it shortly :slight_smile:

Fixed!
Thanks very much.
What do I need to do to reinstate OpenEVSE in demandshaper?

Great, you need to select the OpenEVSE device template by clicking on the cog icon on the inputs page, see screenshots in the guide here Smart Charge your Electric Vehicle - Guide | OpenEnergyMonitor. You dont need to initialize at the end, just save and then cancel

Thanks.

I had understood those instructions first time round but wasn’t sure I could safely do it again.

I am still puzzling how I got the wrong device name. I am pretty sure I followed the instructions correctly.

One thing I have noticed now I can see all the inputs is that I have two sets of openevse inputs.

Both updating. Is this normal? Could this be a clue to the incorrect device name I created?

I also have demandshaper Unresponsive errors.

I will pursue those on the other thread.

Do you have the OpenEvse configured to send data to emoncms using both the HTTP (Energy Monitoring: Enable Emoncms) and MQTT? I see that its a bit confusing, the MQTT actually replaces that other route…

I am still seeing the error

Hi everyone,

I have a similar issue.
image
The emonpi was set up by someone else previously and I have limited understanding on how they set the inputs up etc. I noticed that there is an input tab called msgMbus that hasn’t got any inputs attached to it. Could this be the issue? Would deleting this solve the issue?


or is the problem the msg.Mbus nodeid having a capital letter for example?

At the moment the inputs are getting readings and I am able to create new feeds. However, is a very time consuming process as the message keeps popping up. I would like to try solve this issue however I am worried I will loose data/ data will not be plotted in the apps for a while since my project relies on these readings.
Thank you in advance for your help!

Hello @Rolop it looks like this is a bug being created by having two nodes with similar names, the first called msgMBus and the second msg.MBus. I’ve now fixed this error in the device module, are you able to update the system via the updater on the admin page?

Hi @TrystanLea I can’t see the admin ribbon on emmoncms


I can only log into emoncms.org as I only have remote access, is there any way to update through remote access? Would the error get fixed if I delete the input msgMbus?
Otherwise I will try to get someone to access emoncms locally.

Thanks a lot!

Aha it was me that needed to update emoncms.org! I’ve done that now, could you check your account again?

That’s it gone :smiley:
Thank you very much @TrystanLea !
