PellMon på Raspberry

[khe]

My version is new enough, as I have the graphs.

Should this setup work for getting alarms on low silo-level and high temp?

alarm1_item = silo_level
alarm1_comparator = <
alarm1_level = 32
alarm1_status = SiloLevel
alarm1_enum = OK|SiloLevel - Refill needed!

alarm2_item = boiler_temp
alarm2_comparator = >
alarm2_level = 80
alarm2_status = boiler_temp_supervision
alarm2_enum = OK|Boiler temperature too high

# Uncomment and set these for email on mode/alarm status changes
# This server:port works with gmail and TLS authentication
server = smtp.gmail.com:587
username = username@gmail.com
password = password
from = PellMon
to = mymail@gmail.com
subject = PellMon Status

# TLS is used by default, to use SSL instead set this:
#auth = SSL

# Send email when any of these change (remove the unwanted conditions)
#conditions=alarm,mode,parameter
conditions = alarm

Can't spot any error so I suppose so.

Not getting any mails from PellMon, nevertheless what i do  :(

I have checked the PellMon email settings against my SynoDS NAS, and my Syno sends mails, when i detects errors or alarm states.

Also I have rebooted PellMon, everytime I have maked changes to the .conf file - weird...

I thought you had it email working?

It's working 100%

If you change 'conditions' to:

Kode Vælg Udvid

conditions=alarm,mode,parameter

Then you should get an email whenever the boiler starts/stops and when you change any parameter so it's easier to test that it is working.

Do you get any errors in the event list when it tries to send an email?

I think that possibly the 'from' setting should look like an email address, I have 'from=user@mail.com' in my conf and that works with gmail. Google rewrites the 'from' field to match the account you are logged in to anyway, but it might possibly be rejected if it's not an email address at all.

And did you activate 'allow less secure apps' in  your gmail settings? It does not work without that.

[khe]

It seems like the string 'from = PellMon', has to be the same adress, as user account.
After changing that, I've received a mail after changing system clock parameter via PellMon WebIF - thank You wery much  8)


I thougt it worked after putting the info You gave me at first into the .conf, but unfortunately I just hoped too much, and final test failed... ::)

hey er der nogen der har et image af sin pellmon installation da jeg ikke kan får det installeret.???

på forhånd tak

[kivi]

Det kan jeg ikke lige hjælpe med, men hvad virker ikke?

Hvis du følger installationsvejl. slavisk så skulle det virke, jeg har ingen erfaring overhovedet med linux og det lykkedes for mig.

Har du husket alle "dependencies"

[Jinkz]

dependencies ???

;D

[kivi]

Skal det forståes som at det virker nu? O0

[Jinkz]

Nej desværre ikke er i tvivl om hvad det er ???

[motoz]

Hello Jinkz, if you can say where you get stuck I'm sure we can get you up and running. Any errors? Something needs more explaining?

[Jinkz]

når jeg prøver at konfigurere så skriver den at filerne ikke eksistere eller hvis jeg får åbnet filerne i text editor så er de tomme???

kan ikke finde installations biblioteket

[motoz]

I suppose that means that the installation was successful and you have pellmon up and running in your browser? The default configuration should not need any changes at all to work with a scotte burner, but when you want to change something you can use the included tool 'pellmonconf', which is a text editor that runs in your browser.

Kode Vælg Udvid

$ sudo pellmonconf
Open http://<ip>:8083 with your webbrowser to view the configuration tool
Run as root to be able to save changes
Quit with CTRL-C


Navigate http://<raspberryip>:8083 and you will se something like this:


Of course you can use a 'normal' text editor instead, for instance 'nano' in the terminal:

Kode Vælg Udvid

sudo nano /etc/pellmon/pellmon.conf

[Jinkz]

hmm det virker ikke den skriver komandoen ikke eksitere 
tror ikke det er instaleret rigtigt! :P

vil du evt hj;lpe mig over remote desktop p[ et tidspunk

[motoz]

I could do something like that (but I prefer a remote ssh shell in a reverse tunnel in that case). But you are right, the installation apparently has failed. If you could try to repeat the installation by copy-pasting all the steps from here https://github.com/motoz/PellMon/wiki/How-to-install-PellMon into the terminal window and copy-pasting anything that looks like an error here then I'm sure we'll find out what went wrong.
