Posting data once a day to Mindergas.nl

[number3]

After working on it for a week I have created a script that will post data to the website: mindergas.nl

If you don't mind your data being on an external webservice, then you can use this script.
I am still testing the correct working of the script at this time, but it looks like it works just fine.

Find my detailed description right here:

'nickyb2' from Tweakers (also on this forum) created a simple Python script to upload gas consumption from smartmeter to Mindergas. I tested it, and it works fine.

You can find it here: http://gathering.tweakers.net/forum/lis ... 1#43606221

Great finds... I'm not a bash/sed/curl programmer, but I agree it looks like it can be done in a simplere way.
Love the find on tweakers, will take a look into it.
Btw. the wiki article is quite simple, it installs some stuff, if you follow the step by step it does work, but I agree it can be improved.

So I will look into these two finds.
And document the results.

Im seeing this when I run the script on my RPI2 with Domoticz:

Traceback (most recent call last):

Any idea? Token and IDX of the gas meter are filled in correctly.

Update: Looks like adding -u http://192.168.1.16:80 (which is my domoticz address) now seems to b e working. Hope thats all

How do you call the script from your crontab? Did you supply all the parameters needed?

The URL to Domoticz needs to be something like: "http://1.2.3.4:8080" i thought (without the quotes ofcourse).
If the URL is not supplied it will use "http://localhost:8080".

See also the wiki, it is all explained there: http://domoticz.com/wiki/Mindergas.nl#The_Python_way
