Hi,

What is the URL you want to download from?
I'm able to download files from: https://github.com/SBFspot/SBFspot/releases.

Hi FireWizard,

I use the same site, URL (by clickin on sourcecode (tar.gz): command:
"wget https://codeload.github.com/SBFspot/SBF ... .gz/V3.7.0"

But i get message 443...failed: The network is unreachable.
Can you give me the exact command?

Grtz!

Hi,

Now I noticed that I can download the files using google chroom on my desktop, (this morning it went wrong even on the desktop)
But when I try to download the sourcecode with the Pi, i still get the notification that the netwerk is unreachable.
I rebooted the pi and tried again, same problem.

How bizar!

Hi,

@Mathiasdb

I was able to download it on a RPi with the following command:
wget https://github.com/SBFspot/SBFspot/rele ... ter.tar.gz

This is just an example, as there are many releases available.

See: https://github.com/SBFspot/SBFspot/releases

For the source code, you can try: wget https://github.com/SBFspot/SBFspot/arch ... 7.0.tar.gz

Are you giving up?

Question; Has wget been installed?

If not:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install wget

If it is already installed, you will see:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
wget is already the newest version (1.20.1-1.1).
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

If no, it will be installed.

Afterwards try again:

Code: Select all

wget https://github.com/SBFspot/SBFspot/archive/V3.7.0.tar.gz

Hi Fire-wizzard

I tried to install the SBF-spot again (V3.7.1)
I did the update and upgrade, I re-installed de wget (was already installed)

Still the same problem:
"
mdb@Domoticz:~ $ sudo wget https://github.com/SBFspot/SBFspot/arch ... 7.1.tar.gz
--2021-02-05 16:35:35-- https://github.com/SBFspot/SBFspot/arch ... 7.1.tar.gz
Resolving github.com (github.com)... 140.82.121.4
Connecting to github.com (github.com)|140.82.121.4|:443... failed: Network is unreachable.
"
On my desktop, there's no problem downloading the file.

Is there an other way?

Grtz!

why don't you use winscp to move the file to your pi from your desktop

Hi @Mathiasdb,

Still the same problem:

I tried to install both versions v3.7.0 and 3.7.1 en it installed immediately on my pi.
IP address is okay. Could it be that your Pi is not online or that a Firewall is preventing the connection?

It is not necessary to install it with sudo. But is does no harm, only that the file will be owned by root:root

Another way is possible, e.g scp (or in Windows Winscp)

Hi Erem and Firewizard,
The WinSCP wat a great tip. now I understand better what i'm doing in the pi.
I Think I installed everythin, I followd the manual on github. I had connection between the pi and SMA.

Now , I hope to see the SBF-spot-sensor working on domoticz tomorrow!!
I read there where several problems in the past with the sensor in domoticz. Are they solved? or do you guys have tips?

Thank you verry much so far!

Hello @Mathiasdb,

I read there where several problems in the past with the sensor in domoticz. Are they solved? or do you guys have tips?

I do not own a SMA inverter, so I don't use SBF-spot. So I can't tell you, if there are issues. I do not have any tips. So I quit.
