Hi guys,
I just received (last Friday) my very first emonBase and its three emonTH ; everything is working fine at the moment, I can easily monitor each sensor from the local emoncms. Well played by the way: everything is just plug and play, you’ve done a pretty good job.
As part of a company project I needed an internet connection without being dependent of an established network so I also bought a Huawei E3531 (the E3231 & E3131 models seeming more difficult to find in my country).
The usb modem is plugged and indicates an effective internet connection (3G), however when I try to check the USB stick status with : sudo python ./hstatus.py
I obtain : Can't find a Huawei HiLink device on 192.168.8.1
(I replaced the IP address into the script by the usb stick one - wasn’t 192.168.1.1
).
The weirdest part is that my connection seems to work. Indeed I can ping google.com, facebook.com, openenergymonitor.org, etc.
Something might be different with the E3531 USB dongle that false the is_hilink
function and prevent the script execution.
I tried to access http://192.168.8.1/api/device/information (when plugged on my desktop) and I get a raw html page (containing some informations) which should return a 200 status code.
There might be a problem around request
…
I feel like I am missing something, does anyone have some advice for me ?
Cheers,
