emon plugin How to ?

---

Could someone please explain, how to install die emon service ? i have addes this:

{
  "plugin": "emon"
}

and this:

{
  "id": "emon",
  "class": "EmonDevice",
  "name": "Electric Energy",
  "ip": "localhost",
  "port": "12345",
  "username": "testuser",
  "password": "testpassword",
  "interval": 5000
}

to my config

is it neccesary to install the emon-server or is it just enough to install the plugin to pimatic?

a how to would be very nice,
thanks in advance.

i could not find out, how to start the server, or enter the webpage.

i always get this error:

error [pimatic-emon]: { [Error: connect ECONNREFUSED] code: 'ECONNREFUSED', errno: 'ECONNREFUSED', syscall: 'connect' }

For the Homepage:

IP-Adresse:Port
192.168.0.1:12345 or localhost:12345

Or try this:
192.168.0.1:12345/api/ipu

you tried:
sudo service emo-server start/status/stop ?

have you had a look here ?
https://github.com/dkroeske/emon-server

yes, but how to start with it, where should i put the files,
sudo service emo-server start

gives unrecognized service

i could find a how to install the emon-server

Ok, i had tested it.

I had install the Plugin and add a Device to the Config.json.
In Pimatic i became following Error:

error [pimatic]: Could not initialize the plugin “emon”: Cannot find module ‘./device-config-schema’

You have the same Error?

yes, after that i copy the device config from github into pimatic-emon and the error is gone.

but i cant acces the webserver
a device is shown into pimatic

The IP-Adress ist set to the Rasberry IP-Adress?

yes it is 192.168.0.110

do i need files from here: https://github.com/dkroeske/emon-server

or is it enough to install the plugin and add a device ?

if all fails, report an issue at https://github.com/dkroeske/pimatic-emon

Yeah, i think you must install the server from github and the Plugin is only a device in Pimatic. Its the Interface between Emo and Pimatic

ok, could you please explane how to install the server?

Wait a minute i will test it. (Ohh the 120s rule arghh)

thanks for that.

It want not to start right now. Maybe its the best solution to pull a request to the developer

Maybe, you must install the EMO-CMS?

@ck2003 could you tell me how you tried to install the server?

anyone else who get this working ? or an idea how to install that, looks like the developer was not online since e published it.

Hey,

ok i think im an idiot. I will tell it later

sudo service pimatic stop

sudo npm install connect
sudo npm install sqlite3 (Drink an Coffee or two) When you get a Error-Message, try without sudo
sudo npm install jwt-simple
sudo npm install express
sudo npm install body-parser
sudo npm install moment

git clone https://github.com/dkroeske/emon-server.git
cd emon-server/software/server/
sudo npm link
node app.js start

I can start the app.js and become on the IP:12345 an Message: Cannot GET /

I dont know why

ok thanks at this point iam too. !

Is it possible that this is not a Webserver? When i look to the description from node.js i See for Webserver a http command. In the commandline from app.js is not an Entry like this?
