I am doing this from memory but I think you will find it in the folder /opt/openenergymonitor/EmonScripts/defaults/emoncms/ and the file is called emonpi.settings.ini
So it seems my problem was that after I rebuilt the flash card, I copied my previous emonhub.conf and (more importantly) my previous settings.ini overtop of the one that came on the flash card. It would probably have ‘just worked’ had I not done the latter.
Awesome! Thanks for your help!
I think I can probably fumble my way through it from here.
hmm. Not quite. When I try to create a feed, it looks like EMONCMS_DATADIR is not being expanded. Appears that that is post-edited by an install script.
I guess I’ll just manually correct it. Leaving this here in case someone else stumbles upon this thread.
Bear in mind the numbers you’ll get by using a table lamp as a load will more than likely not
be the values you are expecting.
You’ll want to use a larger load e.g. kettle, space heater, etc to do/check the unit’s calibration.
If you don’t have a larger load handy, you can pass multiple turns through the wire window of
a CT. e.g. a 100 Watt lamp with 10 turns through the CT is equivalent to a 1000 Watt load
with a single pass through the CT.
Thanks. Now that I have brought the whole kit and kaboodle to the site where I’ll be using it, I’ll actually put it in a panel and try to figure out how many more emontx’s I’ll need to buy and plan out my CT’s. I have 3 panels from two separate feeds.
