Hi

I am trying to set up a emonTx V3.4 with Emonbase. I used to have a Emonpi and when I logged into the CMS those old EmonPi settings came up. So I deleted the account to start new. But now when I log in to the http://emonpi.local/ there are no Inputs. I tried to select new input → and node 15 with basic info for address, but that didn’t work. Any advice would be helpful. This is the my log

Are you using an emonPi or an emonBase? The emonPi comes in an extruded aluminium case and has a 2-channel “emonTx” inside along with a Raspberry Pi. An emonBase is just the Raspberry Pi with a radio receiver, possibly in a plastic case.

Whichever, have you updated the operating system and emonCMS that those run on? If not, what do you know about it - roughly how old is the software? We no longer support versions older than about 2 years, so as I think you don’t have any data you need to keep, it’s going to be best to get the latest image and start afresh.

What do you know about your emonTx V3.4 - how old (or how new) is it? Because that too has received updates to the software over time.

All that part of the log tells me is it’s communicating with the RFM12B radio, which is good. Is there anything else in the log?
If the emonPi/emonBase is receiving from the emonTx, you should see a line something like this:

RFM2Pi     26741 NEW FRAME : OK 5 209 0 197 0 150 1 110 92 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 47 205 6 0 0 0 0 0 116 213 6 0 31 133 6 0 (-0)

The data should start OK 15 ... (if 15 is the NodeID of your emonTx) and the number of values following will be different. It should end with a negative number like (-70) (it could be anywhere from about -40 to -90). What we’re aiming to do is match an entry in emonhub.conf (“Edit config” in emonHub in Setup) to match the data that I hope is coming in, because with luck, that’s all your problem is.

Hi

I have a EmonBase/RasberryPi and the emonTx V3.4. I bought both September 2020. I did an update on the EmonBase via the CMS yesterday. So that is up to date. This is the line in the log you mentioned.

I am not sure exactly what I am looking for in the config file. so I will just paste the whole file below.

That tells me the data is being received - which I thought would be the case. This is the section for Node 15

Explaining it, a L or a l is a 4-bytes unsigned or signed long respectively, h is a 2-byte short signed integer. Adding those up, it’s expecting 40 bytes.
OK 15 84 85 85 85 174 52 214 83 99 68 89 171 85 85 81 85 85 85 89 85 85 85 170 170 170 170 85 85 85 85 101 32 101 32 101 32 84 85 85 85 (-72)
You have 40 bytes there being sent (in bold), not counting the NodeID [15] and the RSSI [-72], so that not the problem.

Following that, does it show the data being interpreted, assigned to variables and sent onwards to emonCMS? (OK, this is not the same Node ID or sketch, you should see something similar.)

If you have that, it should be appearing on the Inputs page.

Hi

This is the rest of the log. It seems like the data is coming through, but the inputs page in the CMS is blank. Maybe its the setup on Node 15?

I’m struggling now. Everything appears to be in order, but I’ve no idea why the inputs aren’t appearing. My final suggestion, before we need someone who knows emonCMS better, is to delete Node 15 from the inputs. It should re-appear as soon as some data arrives.

So if you tick the box against ‘power1’ you’ll then get a “rubbish bin” icon to delete it.

What you should see is all the values listed in emonhub.conf and in the log: MSG, Vrms, P2, etc.

Thanks, that worked. I can now see 3 Inputs!!

I just need to work out how to set up the feeds. But will read up on that

You should have more than that - you should have all 14 plus the RSSI.

Like this (OK, I’ve squashed the window left-right):

Those inputs that you have look as if they’ve come from the example on the Input API Help page, they aren’t from the emonTx.

So you’re not out of trouble yet. I can’t work out why it’s not passing the data through, we need an emonCMS expert on this one. @TrystanLea or @borpin - can either of you help?

You create a Feed when you put a “Log to feed” or a “Power to kWh” process (there might be more, those spring to mind) in the input processing, which is the spanner icon at the end of each line of input.

Hello @Derek_Morgan did any more inputs come through, it looks like the three inputs that you see there are three generated with the test api rather than inputs coming from the emontx?

10

As far as I’m aware, he’s never seen any data from his emonTx that’s got beyond emonHub. I’m reasonably satisfied the RFM69Pi is receiving, and emonHub is receiving. And there it stops.

11

Yes I agree, it looks like that, it seems that the emoncms_mqtt is not picking up the data. What does the admin page show you @Derek_Morgan under services? is emoncms mqtt running?

12

Hi

I don’t seem to have an admin option in the menu. I suspect it should be under WIFI?

Under the “My account” section it just lists the API key and USER ID 2

Not sure if the fact that I initially deleted the account has effected my access somehow?

13

Just to add, I tried
http://emonpi.local/emoncms/admin/view

And got this

I tried to Re-authenticate, but just got prompted to login again with no change

14

This, plus the input data not getting through - I’m wondering what else might be lurking. Your emonCMS looks to be truly scrambled. @TrystanLea is its creator, I think you might need to either (possibly the easier and more straightforward way) reflash your SD card, or somewhat more involved, get at the user database in MySQL and make yourself the principal and only user. As you’ve no data to lose, the ‘safest’ will be the first option - but you might want to see if Trystan has a better idea.

15

Hello @Derek_Morgan If the admin page does not appear after logging out and back in again, is there a chance that you have multiple accounts on this system?

16

@TrystanLea

That looks to be what’s happened.

17

Aha, thanks I missed that. Ok you need to set the admin flag on your second user account. Are you happy to do the following via command line?

mysql -u emoncms -p emoncms (password is: emonpiemoncmsmysql2016)
UPDATE users SET admin=1 WHERE id=2;
exit

Then logout and log back in.

18

Ok thanks that worked, I now have admin access

Ok, that all looks fine, did you change the MQTT settings for emoncms in /var/www/emoncms/settings.ini by any chance?
It should show:

[mqtt]
enabled = true
user = 'emonpi'
password = 'emonpimqtt2016'

Hi. Sorry, I don’t have access to this meter for a week, so will get back to you next week.
