How to display pi properties?

[skywatch]

Thanks for the response.

There don't seem to be any instructions with that download? Even the readme file is useless for installing. Still, I copied the folder and removed "-rpi-master" and tried to start it with start.sh. It just complains about a missing log file. I tried to creat the log file but still no joy. So, how about a short tutorial on how to use it, then you might get more feedback about it!

The logfile should be automagically created, is the directory that stores the logfile writable?

root@orangepizero:~/mcagent# ls -la
total 24
drwxr-xr-x  6 root   root   4096 Mar  5 14:54 .
drwx------ 25 root   root   4096 Jun 26 17:00 ..
drwxrw-r--  3 user user 4096 Jun 26 16:58 bin
drwxrw-r--  2 user user 4096 Jun 26 17:00 conf
drwxr-xr-x  2 root   root   4096 Jun 26 16:57 lib
drwxrw-r--  2 user user 4096 Jun 26 16:58 logs

you should see something like the above.

Hmmm....no it does not look the same. Does the following help?

pi@HAAS:~/mcagent $ ls -la
total 32
drwxr-xr-x 4 pi pi 4096 Jul 4 18:42 .
drwxr-xr-x 18 pi pi 4096 Jul 4 18:18 ..
drwxr-xr-x 2 pi pi 4096 Jul 4 18:43 logs

Ah, you downloaded the github version...
See if the version that is located here.. works better.

[skywatch]

Yup! That one seems to run.

Now what should I do? ? Are there any example or scripts available? How to display cpu temp? I even restarted mycserver, but can't figure out what to do next! Doh!

@skywatch
cool!,
not a clue, i am using the orangepi, and mcagent does not work for me (yet).....

look into the conf directory the config files might give a clue

or look in this topic

once i am able to test i will post my findings here!

[skywatch]

No joy yet.....the log file is full of this message.....

2017-07-05 11:26:29,952 ERROR [Thread-4] [org.mycontroller.agent.rpi.mqtt.RpiMqttClient:82] Unable to connect with MQTT broker [tcp://localhost:1883], Reason Code: 4,

I do not need mqtt so does it have to be enabled for mcagent to work? I even allowed annonymous login in mqtt settings and still no rpi-internal appears! ??? - How do I add the internal node? A nice feature would be a 'scan for new nodes' button - not sure how feasible that would be though!

@skywatch refer http://forum.mycontroller.org/topic/41/mycontroller-agent-for-raspberry-pi/14

[skywatch]

"MyController" is not available as a network type in the gateway update page. ?

@skywatch Kindly use snapshot version from here http://forum.mycontroller.org/topic/58/download-snapshot-build

Hoorah !!!! - It is working now !!!!

Thank you so much for your kind support and time today. Whilst I have only been running this for a week or so I have learnt a lot in the process. But don't worry, I will soon be back with more questions!
