Lost the weather feed on my system

I have not received an outside temperature update for a while. I believe the feed came from the Met Office but they changed something that stopped the feed. How can I get the outside temperature showing again in my Feeds.

What’s your username?

Thanks for reply. username is: emonhp

That’s the local username, what’s your username on emoncms.org? Metoffice weather data api is only suported on emoncms.org

Hi,

I lost the above field on my system too.

How do i restore it.

TIA

Ask @glyn.hudson to reset for you

What’s your emoncms.org username?

Hi @glyn.hudson and thank you i know i am supposed to know which login you mean, but i have a main one MaisonMerlin and an account under that which is mm16500 hope that is what you need.

I put my hands up, I tried to get Gemini along with Home Assistant to do something and it messed up and somewhere along the line i lost the metoffice field. I also have my MBus dropout periodically so if you don’t mind giving my settings a once over and seeing if there is anything glaringly obvious out of place. It would be very much appreciated.

Sorry and thanks again,

John.

The MaisonMerlin account is empty.

The mm16500 account has a Level 3 Heat Pump Monitoring system connected to it and the outdoor temperature is updating correctly. This system is shared on HeatPumpMonitor, you can see the outdoor temperature is present on the dashboard: https://heatpumpmonitor.org/dashboard?id=1099

@glyn.hudson Thanks for looking. I don’t know where it is getting that data from but it is very inaccurate it has been closer to 40 degrees here, in France, for the last two weeks! which leads me on to another question… is there a way i can reset my figures as i have been running my unit in cooling for quite a while and it messed up my scop cop etc. because i did not having the cooling mode switched on your settings.

Mmm your right, I’ve just updated the weather data to use Confolens as the location.

Cooling is enabled on your system, if should re-process any data prior to having cooling enabled. The SCOP figures look correct to me. There’s not much space heating data yet.

I noticed data from the heat meter has stopped update ding. Could you check the MBUS wiring has not been disrupted?

@glyn.hudson Thanks for the weather update.

Re: MBUS: Yes, this is what keeps happening the MBus has been off for 12hrs now if i unplug and re plug it starts again but for how long varies.

It has given up again: here is my config file (I can’t seem to paste it nicely):

For future reference, when posting code or output, please put 3 ‘backticks’ (normally found at the top left of the keyboard) on a line of their own before the code, and 3 more backticks also on a line of their own after the code:

```
code
```

If it is something like php you can add a language identifier after the first 3 backticks: ```php or even ```text if you don’t want any language markup applied.

Your square brackets should not be escaped with \ - if you only put them there instead of surrounding the whole text with ``` - you’ll need to take them out, otherwise, they’re wrong, a comment in the file is everything following a #.

Your config file looks correct. Do you have another USB-C to USB-A cable you could test between the MBUS reader and the emonHP?

Yes I do but I am using the one it came with. I will give it a go. The thing is, is that it was all working fine.
