Nefit Easy™

Short question: does this all work on Jessie?

I can confirm the nodered option will work on Jessie

Hi all,
Still some trouble with node on my Rpi. Running easy-server from the prompt works like a charm, but now I'd like to start it when booting the Rpi. I added the next line to the cron job for the root (sudo crontab -e):

Code: Select all

@reboot /usr/local/bin/easy-server --serial=xxx --access-key=yyy --password=zzz >/tmp/cron.log 2>/tmp/cron.err

When rebooting cron.err mentions:

Code: Select all

/usr/bin/env: node: No such file or directory

What is going wrong?

EDIT: Found the answer myself. See https://github.com/nodejs/node-v0.x-archive/issues/3911

EDIT2: Nope...still same problem
Cheers,
Niels

Enable the new Easy hardware, point to the running easy web-server (ip, port) and enable new hardware. It will create a bunch of devices for you.

Is there a way to select the devices to be displayed? The default devices list does not contain the supply temperature ("aanvoertemperatuur") and I would like to use that.
(I saw it in the thread somewhere but I think this was with a node red configuration. If that is needed, I will try, but if there is an easier way, I would appreciate it)

Supply temp is not supported (yet) in the code. These are: Setpoint, Inside Temp, Outside Temp, Boiler Status, Display Code, Pressure

I also installed the Nefit Easy HTTP server and this is all working with the latest Beta version of domoticz. But how can I install the Nefit Easy HTTP server so that it will run automaticly?

I have created a script and run that from cron at reboot

/home/pi/scripts/easiest

#!/bin/bash

NEFIT_SERIAL_NUMBER=<serial number>
NEFIT_ACCESS_KEY=<key>
NEFIT_PASSWORD=<password>

easy-server --serial=$NEFIT_SERIAL_NUMBER --access-key=$NEFIT_ACCESS_KEY --password=$NEFIT_PASSWORD > /dev/null

crontab:

@reboot /home/pi/scripts/easiest > /dev/null 2>&1

Thanks Sweetpants, the script works like a charm!

One addition for my fellow-n00bs: make the script executable by entering 'chmod +x home/pi/scripts/easiest

What do I have too do for a continious working of the easy server.I managed to start and got results in Domoticz, but after closing Putty no new data arrived in Domoticz

Who has any idea?

Thx, read about this:"nohup ./server & "

But I don't know which exact command I need to issue. Something like: nohup easy-server etc.etc....?

Thank you very much for trying helping me out!
Already implemented the script, made a cronjob and made script executable.
Nevertheless it wont work. When I start the script from the commandline in putty all works nice. As soon as I quit putty, it stops delivering data. What do I do wrong?

Wait a moment, guess a miracle happend After e reboot it seems to work. Will test it some time and will inform you folks later.

Did you reboot your raspberry?

Hi,

I have noticed that during the last couple of weeks Node Red is quite unstable. So the Nefit information flow works stable for 2 days, then Node Red crashes, and a restart of the service is required. Running Node Red version 0.12.4. So trying to figure out if anyone experienced the same thing?

Are you using the MQTT or JSON flow?

[Holland]

still the old one; MQTT

[pepijn]

We know there is a stability issue with MQTT, you should consider using the JSON flow

[Holland]

ok, thanks. Will reconfig to JSON

Question related to the nefit http server functionality of Domoticz. I tried to use another Domoticz server (in my case 10.58.60.84 and port 3000) as the remote server and it didn't work. Whereas locally, using 127.0.0.1 port 3000, it works without a problem. So a bit strange. Is this a known limitation?
