SSH problem with MacOS

Hardware emonPi
1

I am trying to access my emonpi via SSH; I have enabled SSH by holding down the button via the LCD screen, and have typed ssh 192.168.1.150 in Terminal (macOS) and it asks for a password. I have tried both emonpi2016 and emonpi2018 but neither work. Nor does my Emoncms emonpi.local password work. What should I be doing differently?

I want to use the Dataplicity software but AIUI the first thing I need to do is log in to the pi :grinning:

Try ssh pi@<IP> and emonpi2016

Thanks @borpin ; Typing in ssh [email protected] returns

Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)?[/I]

I typed “yes” and that returned

Typing ssh 192.168.1.150 and then using the password “emonpi2016” returns

First you must use the form I said as you are logging in as the user pi to the machine on that IP address.

I presume that

  1. you are on the same network as the Pi?
  2. that IP is the one in the LCD?
  3. you can ping 192.168.1.150?

[edit]
A Google on " ssh mac broken pipe" offers this solution SSH on OSX Mojave failing with broken pipe error | Yellow Bricks

Google is your friend.

Again, many thanks @borpin . I can confirm points 1-3 above are all “yes”, and also that the IPQoS=thoughput tip worked a treat. Thank You!

I have now also managed to get my emonpi to show up within Dataplicity on my Mac as well.
