Hi Im trying to setup EMONCMS on my synology using Docker. I can it it running using the prod addon script for docker-compose. I get the webpage. I can login (after creating my local user). Pressing new device/input yields nothing. Absolutely nothing happens when i press the button. Any hints wou…

I appreciate the help. The problem was me :expressionless: I used the wrong node. I used the emoncms in rather than the emoncms out node. Thanks for the screenshot, that is what let me to the correct path.

[image] sunsetdk: Any hints would be appreciated. How are you feeding the data to emoncms?

I did try but i get this error: Requested feed does not exist feedid=0 When i go to the feeds it tell me i have to create a input, and this it where im stuck.

[image] sunsetdk: I did try but i get this error: How are you sending data to emoncms? MQTT? HTTP? It doesn’t arrive by magic :slight_smile: Do you see anything on the Inputs page?

Node Red. But don’t i need do create somewhere for the data to go (input/device)

[image] sunsetdk: But don’t i need do create somewhere for the data to go No it will just appear on the Input page. This is effectively a “This is the data I can see do you want to log it” page. How are you sending it from Node-Red? emoncms node, MQTT, HTTP?

Emoncms node. Im only testing at the moment. i use a inject node to set msg.payload = 250 msg.topic = water I have set feedid to “water” in the ecomcms node. Injet “works”, but yields an error in the log. 2020-07-08 09:37:36.060|WARN|feed_model.php|Feed model: Requested feed does not exist fe…

[image] sunsetdk: Injet “works”, but yields an error in the log. Well clearly it doesn’t work! [image] sunsetdk: msg.payload = 250 msg.topic = water Are you sending that by MQTT to the same broker the emoncms instance is pointing to?

I not using MQTT but the emoncms node. The node is setup pointing to the IP and the port of my emoncms server.

You added a Write API key? Ok. Does it give a green dot at the bottom? That format is not JSON so if you selected JSON it will not work. Have a look at the info pane for the data format.

I did add the API key. If i change the API key to something wrong i get a different error. So API key must therefore be correct. Should the data be json data? If so can you show me a quick example which should work? In my inject node data types are for the topic = string and payload = number. No …
