You could try compiling the emonGLCD sketch with an earlier version JeeLib.

The current emonPi, emonTH and emonTH sketches are all compiled with outdated JeeLib

> <https://github.com/openenergymonitor/emonpi/blob/master/firmware/platformio.ini#L38-L38>

> <https://github.com/openenergymonitor/emontx3/blob/master/firmware/platformio.ini#L32-L32>

> <https://github.com/openenergymonitor/emonth2/blob/master/firmware/platformio.ini#L27-L27>

When the emonPi firmware is compiled with a later JeeLib it fails to receive emonTx packets (Or least that used to be the case, see [Emon TXs not updating after Emonpi update - #12 by glyn.hudson](https://community.openenergymonitor.org/t/emon-txs-not-updating-after-emonpi-update/2233/12))

[edit - also see “[emonTx Node Communicates to one RFM69Pi, but not another](https://community.openenergymonitor.org/t/emontx-node-communicates-to-one-rfm69pi-but-not-another/7771)” for a similar issue with a RFM69Pi recompiled with a later JeeLib, and again here “[Recompiling RFM69Pi firmware - #6 by adpeace](https://community.openenergymonitor.org/t/recompiling-rfm69pi-firmware/2618/6)”]
