eMonTH V2 arrived today but only rssi updating to emonpi

Hi,

New eMonth V2 arrived today and after putting in the batteries up pops eMonth5 in to Inputs but only an rssi feed and nothing else, no temp, humidity or battery.

Emonhub has an entry 23
units = C,C,%,V

[[23]]
nodename = emonth5
[[[rx]]]
names = temperature, external temperature, humidity, battery, pulsecount
datacodes = h,h,h,h,L
scales = 0.1,0.1,0.1,0.1,1
units = C,C,%,V,p

[[24]]
nodename = emonth6
[[[rx]]]
names = temperature, external temperature, humidity, battery, pulsecount
datacodes = h,h,h,h,L
scales = 0.1,0.1,0.1,0.1,1
units = C,C,%,V,p

But no other results.

Rest of system working fine?

Please can you help.

This has to be one for @glyn.hudson

What do you mean there? that there are node 23 packets seen in emonhub.log or that there is a 23 in the emonhub.conf?
The units you quote in that statement (C,C,%,V) do not match the emonhub.conf entries you list (C,C,%,V,p).

Have you checked emonhub.log? this can be seen on the emonhub config page of emoncms

Hi,

So in the log I see this

But in the inputs I get this

Emonhub config

So unable to see anything but rssi despite it clearly reaching the emonpi?

That log doesn’t look quite right, I assume that’s just a few lines you have chosen to show and not the raw log. Can you show us a full emonhub excerpt? often what not there can be just as enlightening as what is there, plus I wanted to compare the data coming in on a good node to this node.

So I changed the id on the unit and emonth7 popped up again with just the rssi.

Performed an update (Was running 16th Nov 2016 SD image) and after the update all of the correct items appeared.

Must have been something in the update that that kicked the V2 emonth into action.
Will keep an eye on it to see how it goes.

Thanks for your solution, this indeed just worked for me!

Just for reference, this is what the emonpi config changed:

[[23]]
nodename = emonth5
[[[rx]]]
names = temperature, external temperature, humidity, battery, pulsecount
datacodes = h,h,h,h,L
scales = 0.1,0.1,0.1,0.1,1
units = C,C,%,V,p

It’s likely this is the known emonhub issue where new MQTT topics don’t get added as new inputs in emoncms. For posterity, a full emonpi reboot normally fixes these issues.
