Trouble Getting Nodes to Appear with Modified Hat [solved]

[brandock]

I have been using Open Energy Monitor's stack for a long time, but want to explore using the LPL Pi Gateway stack.

I configured a new RPi 3b+, got the Pi Gateway up and running, and got the serial communication working.

Then I took a spare RFM69Pi hat from OEM and changed the firmware so that it listens to my OEM sensors but outputs what I think should be compatible with LPL Pi Gateway.

This is what I'm seeing in the gateway.sys.log:

But I don't see anything in the Moteino Gateway Dashboard. I was expecting to see some unconfigured nodes appear.

Any advice?

Thanks,

I explored further and saw that I needed to define metrics that match the labels I'm sending through. Once I got those matching up my nodes appeared.

Great, so this is resolved then?

[brandock]

Yes. Resolved. Thanks!

In case anyone else is trying to do this, here's what I did. I put the following code in my userMetrics folder, as per the example there. Restart the gateway. Now I could see all my nodes coming from emonHub-style sensors. From there I could refine my userMetrics for each node to better fit what was coming in on that node.
