How to stop Measureit from sending temperature data to PVOUTPUT

[agold...@gmail.com]

Hi, I was just wondering how to stop Measureit from sending temperature data to PVOutput. The temp data is being taken from my CC EnviR but I also have another RPi using Aurora Monitor sending the inverter temp data from my Aurora Inverter. I would prefer to see the inverter temp, not ambient temp inside my home. The two software continually change the temp figure as they each post their data packets to PVOutput. I assume it will be a simple uncomment in a file, but which one? Help will be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

I don't know enough about python to give you exact help.

Find the file data-input.py under /measureit_system_files/python

Search for "addstatus", I believe this is the line responsible for uploading to PVOutput. At the end of the line it adds V5, the temperature. You might simply be able to remove +'&v5='+str(tmpr)  restart the grabber and the temperature won't be uploaded. (Not tested, and I don't know what I'm doing anyway :) )

Regards,

Steve.

BINGO. I edited using NANO and just removed the test as you suggested. Worked first time. Thanks Steve.

Could you be so kind as to post the path that you used in nano to arrive at the file to edit. I'm new to Nano and editing and although i've been able to find and edit other files I can't find this tree.

Hi Reg,

I got notified of your post because I'm subscribed to this thread. Unfortunately I can't help for two reasons. 1) I have a very non standard installation and the location of data-input.py won't be the same. 2) I very rarely use NANO, I use WinSCP on my Windows machine to log into my headless Pi and end up being able to browse the Pi with and explorer similar to Windows explorer and use the built in editor to edit my files (editor is similar to Windows notepad).

Regards,

Steve.

On my system, it lives in /web/measureit/measureit_system_files/python

Failing that, cd /; find . -name data-input.py -print

Worked well thanks.

Hi i have found this but for some reason it wont save. do i have to disable the grabber first? how do i do that?
or is it because im not root? How do i get root?

or is there something else im missing?

also steve is if i was to change the generation from "v4" to "v7" in that file and use the generation setting in the sensor for my Hot water would that work or is it harder than that? i already have something else monitoring my generation so i don't mind losing generation for a quick fix

Stop and start the grabber after editing

Maybe you want to explain what exactly you try to do :)

I wanted to become root so i could log into Measureit via WINSCP and be able to change the files without having to do it via terminal

I was hoping to be able to change the generation part of the grabber and turn it into V7 but after working out how its created im unable to do that and don't know enough about how the script works to attempt it

i wanted to disable the grabber from auto starting on reboot so i could try the PVOutput integration service as measureit kept taking control of the sensors.
