Startup error caused by config.json typo?

---

Hello everyone,

I’m 31, father of 4, and owner of a house that I would like to automate with piratic. I purchased a house that I’m trying to automate in order to make it more energy efficient. I have bought a pi 3, and a superheterodyne, arduino nano and followed the instructions from Koffie’s tweakblog. All has gone well, until very recently. Piratic doesn’t startup because of an error I made in the config file in line 21, can anyone spot the mistake I have made?

Yes, i guess you are missing an extra } to close “options” on line 21
Try reformatting it in notepad++ for example. Or throw it on http://jsonlint.com/

you have inserted a device at the database setting.
first of all delete these lines since it is a switch and has nothing to do with the database options

next thing would be to either insert the COMPLETE switch into the devices section OR better to use the auto discovery!
the posted code of the switch is not complete! here is missing some part of code …

so my suggestion is first to delete the shown lines. then restart pimatic and see whether there are some more errors in your config to be resolved. if so pls. come back when in the need of help

lxx and leader21, thank a lot! I added the extra }, moved the device to the device section and I’m on track again! Thanks!

nice to hear then have fun with pimatic !
