Sorry I don’t follow, are you saying emoncms is no longer refreshing?

Try using ctrl-f5 to see if that fixes it OR has your log in session timed out?

**tonertiffi** · March 16, 2019, 8:45pm

Correct

it works everywhere else except for the feeds page.

**pb66** · March 16, 2019, 9:01pm

I’m still not sure what you mean, you are showing us the graph page which is data derived from the feeds, it cannot update unless the feeds update. Which is why I suggested a clear cache to the browser.

What is that “paused” button?

**tonertiffi** · March 16, 2019, 9:41pm

Gmail is paused

**pb66** · March 16, 2019, 9:43pm

ahh ok!

**tonertiffi** · March 16, 2019, 10:03pm

Ok this is what i do, and the results.
I go to the inputs and select a feed add it (log to feed)
I go to the feed page its not updating.
I delete that feed i just created (log to feed), the rest start updating.
i go out of the feed page, i go back in no feeds updating

I changed on the My account,My profile, Beta Features:

Device Module Beta

was On, to OFF
started working 100%

**tonertiffi** · March 16, 2019, 10:36pm

Its now 24:30pm here, will run it till the morning and let you know, If its still updating ok.

Please do. If the issue persists it sounds like something @TrystanLea should be aware of.

Just as another test, can you try using input and feed names without any special characters, it should be able to handle a couple of underscores, but you never know.

Hi @pb66 ran it through the night, till now no problem, feeds r there, everything working 100%.As long as i do not switch to

Hi @pb66, wondered on something, some off the gpio pins,on the RPI seem to have a low voltage not activated. I noticed that when i plug in the relay, eg IN1 signal to a random gpio pin on the RPI, the led on the pba has a very small glow, without doing anything.(this relay pba has 2x status leds) can i assume the following, that the pin gets the correct state, when being told what to do so from the script (else a small voltage on the pin if unused.)

, any idea? Not using it that way now RPI supplies the ground and power .
but that is my plan to use it as the final build. dJ5wKNh

**tonertiffi** · March 17, 2019, 12:42pm

The end goal, so far all this is working 100%, thanks to allot of help from @pb66

Hi @pb66 sorry for asking you again, I have acquired a 20x4 lcd I2c, it updates a hole lot quicker than the 16x2 for some strange reason. Sorry my question would i be able to use the extra 2 lines to display values.

I assume you have to alter, home/emonpi/lcd/emonPiLCD.py

Please tell me its as simple as adding in 2 more feeds

**tonertiffi** · March 22, 2019, 5:49pm

Here are the 2x files i tried to alter but ya no luckemonPiLCD (2).txt (18.9 KB)
emonPiLCD.txt (996 Bytes)

**pb66** · March 22, 2019, 9:22pm

I’m not familiar enough with the emonPiLCD code to know offhand.

I have no doubt it is possible, maybe @glyn.hudson can give us some pointers (he wrote the current code), otherwise I will try and look into it over the next few days, but I can’t say exactly when or comment too much further until I do.

**tonertiffi** · March 23, 2019, 1:58am

Hi @pb66 much appreciated as always, thanking you

**tonertiffi** · March 24, 2019, 10:21pm

Hi @pb66 i did send @glyn.hudson a message, heard nothing till now. Take it he is a busy man like you. Thanks again for all your help much appreciated.

**tonertiffi** · March 27, 2019, 8:40pm

Hi @pb66 any luck with regards to the Lcd, i have tried getting hold off @glyn.hudson ,proving to be a real challenge.
