Inputs inactive upon first install

Hi,
I recently bought the emonPi2.
I followed all the steps in the doc, and in emoncms, the inputs are all “inactive”.
I tried with CTs plugged in or not, it made no difference.
I looked online and in the forum and found similar cases (but not exactly). It led me to check the raw data in the terminal, and there is good data coming in (on the 230V data). The data is slightly different every refresh.
Do you have any advice ?
Thanks in advance,

Jean

@Gwil new purchase help required.

Hi Jean, does the emonPi2 have access to the internet?

Hi @Gwil
No I couldn’t get it to connect it to my phone hotspot.
i did the set up using it’s own wifi network, by connecting to it on my computer. what does it change ?
later my plan is to upload the data to my server in order to display it on a website. with a 4g usb stick.

I think it could be an issue to do with the time onboard the emonpi2 not being up to date. Would it be possible to give it temporary internet access to check?

I confirm that the time was not up to date. I will try this and let you know. Is it supposed to be active as soon as the date is updated ?
