EmonPi Not working as expected after update

Charles · 17 January 2017 16:21

Hi All,

I just updated my emonpi via the emoncms web interface that is hosted on the emonpi.

This was a pre-built box that I brought from Open Energy Monitor themselves. No tampering has been done to the configuration in any way, the device has been offline for sometime as I was going to use it for a project but that died down.

I am able to access emoncms, but under nodes all are inactive (img attached)

EmonHub Log output:

The RaspberryPi element seems to be boot looping, the LCD on the EmonPi just shows this, it has been on for about 20mins now with no change: ‘Raspberry Pi Booting…’

Any help would be most appreciated.

Regards,

Charles.

Can you download and attach the update.log and possibly a screenshot of the admin page?

It looks like the MQTT broker isn’t running or has an issue.

it seems you have an older June-2015 image which isn’t really fully compatible with the latest update routines. There have been a lot of changes since then and the latest image should be a little more “future proof”.

I would recommend downloading the latest image and flashing it to the SDcard (that involves taking one end off the emonPi to access the SDcard). We could probably work through the updates etc but you would still be running an old image, if you do not have data to save it would be better to change image now rather than struggle to fix what will always be out of date.

Charles · 17 January 2017 19:07

Thanks Paul,

Is there a img I can download and just flash or do I need to flash Raspbian then compile from git?

Thanks,

Charles.

7th Nov 16 is the latest emonSD release, a pre-build SD card image can be downloaded from here: emonSD pre built SD card Download & Change Log · openenergymonitor/emonpi Wiki · GitHub

See instructions on that page for how to flash the image to an SD card.
