EmonPi stopped updating remote EmonCMS after system upgrade

luru · 2018-11-03T13:01:18.496Z

After upgrading both my local EmonPi and remote EmonCMS, all values handled by EmonPi/EmonHub stopped updating from EmonPi to the remote site. My hand-crafted scripts with JSON updates for other type of sensors still work fine. The error messages in emoncms.log are revealing enough, but the required action is not:

2018-11-03 12:47:11.684|ERROR|input_controller.php|{“success”: false, “message”: “Format error, json string supplied is not valid”} for User: 1

I have not touched the Emonhub configuration on the local EmonPi. Locally, everything works just as before. Obviously, something has changed with JSON updates, or the receiving end is expecting something else now; is there a way to monitor what the EmonPi sends to the remote site?

Again, resolved almost with no action. Replaced the emonhub.conf section on local EmonPi with the default configuration and changed the hostname. The offending line was:

    sendstatus = 1                  # Enable sending WAN IP to Emoncms.org MyIP > https://emoncms.org/myip/list

This was the only real change I made (I had sendstatus = 0). I wonder why this must be 1.

Thanks @luru for the heads up on sendstatus I will look into it.
