Thank you Robert and JWitd.
My emonPi got stuck two weeks ago, for no reason, even a reboot from the web interface didn’t help. All the inputs were inactive, but the LCD was responsive on button presses. Anyway. After fiddling for half an hour decided to just powercycle the whole thing. It fixed it. However googling around I noticed there is a new FW with continuous sampling. My current FW was still the original one 2.9.2 I bought it with in 2019. So I decided to upgrade to the new one.
Long story short, there is no backward compatibility. And no warning either.
I figured from the EmonHub warning:
WARNING RFM2Pi 1 RX data length: 40 is not valid for datacodes [‘h’, ‘h’, ‘h’, ‘h’, ‘h’, ‘h’, ‘h’, ‘h’, ‘h’, ‘h’, ‘L’]
that it is a misconfiguration. I tried to find the correct runes in the wiki, but failed. There is no mention yet. Tried to get it from github but couldn’t fint it in the code. And google cannot find this thread yet.
But fortunately it was one of the top threads on EmonPi here.
Thanks again. Hopefully my text will help guys searching through google to find this thread more easily.
The correct section to put in EmonHub config with fixed typo is:
[[5]]
nodename = emonpi
[[[rx]]]
names = Msg, power1,power2,power1pluspower2,vrms,t1,t2,t3,t4,t5,t6,pulse1count,pulse2count,E1,E2
datacodes = L, h, h, h, h, h, h, h, h, h, h, L, L, l, l
scales = 1, 1,1,1, 0.01, 0.01,0.01,0.01,0.01,0.01,0.01, 1, 1, 1,1
units = n,W,W,W,V,C,C,C,C,C,C,p,p,Wh,Wh
