Wrong last value of network connected node [solved]

[Lukapple]

I've a network connected node, that pool data from my weather station using API, using this approach:

Code Select Expand

api.getStationsData(function(err, devices) {
            //temperature data
            var fakeSerialMsg = '['+nodeRightNow._id+']'+' C:'+devices[0].modules[0].dashboard_data.Temperature;
            processSerialData(fakeSerialMsg); 
            //rain data
            fakeSerialMsg = '['+nodeRightNow._id+']'+' R:'+devices[0].modules[1].dashboard_data.Rain;
            processSerialData(fakeSerialMsg);

Everything worked fine, until I added the additional call of processSerialData to get to get the rain data.
And now it shows the wrong temperature info in the "Last value" field. Any idea why?

[Felix]

What was the value if not "4.4"?

[Lukapple]

It was minus X.

It looks like it's somehow stuck at 4.4, but the values on the graph are correct.
Another example:


And the "refresh time" is also stuck. It looks like something went wrong yesterday when I added the Rain data.
Maybe I should try to delete the old measures?

[Felix]

My guess is you're probably overriding something.
Ensure you don't have any duplicate metric definitions.
Otherwise I can't tell just by looking at photos, it will take some debugging of whatever code you added or modified.

Here is some more info what exactly I do.

I added this event which triggers every 10 minutes

Code Select Expand

weatherStationPoll: {
  label:'Netatmo : temperature/rain Poll',
  icon:'fa-heartbeat',
  descr:'Poll temperature/rain from Netatmo outdoor module',
  nextSchedule: function(nodeAtScheduleTime) { return 10*60*1000; }, //runs every 10 min
  scheduledExecute: function(nodeAtScheduleTime) {
    db.findOne({ _id : nodeAtScheduleTime._id }, function (err, nodeRightNow) {
      if (nodeRightNow)
      {
        var netatmo = require('netatmo');
        var auth = {
          "client_id": "removed",
          "client_secret": "removed",
          "username": "removed",
          "password": "removed",
        };
        var api = new netatmo(auth);
        // Get Stations Data
        // See docs: https://dev.netatmo.com/dev/resources/technical/reference/weatherstation/getstationsdata
         api.getStationsData(function(err, devices) {
           var fakeSerialMsg = '['+nodeRightNow._id+']'+' C:'+devices[0].modules[0].dashboard_data.Temperature;
           processSerialData(fakeSerialMsg); 
           //rain data
           fakeSerialMsg = '['+nodeRightNow._id+']'+' R:'+devices[0].modules[1].dashboard_data.Rain;
           processSerialData(fakeSerialMsg);
         });          
      }
    });
  },
},

and this additional metrics for Rain data:

Code Select Expand

exports.metrics = {
  R : { name:'Rain', regexp:/\R:([\d\.]+)\b/i, pin:1, graph:1},
}

I've checked the console logs and if you check the first line, there is correct temperature "C:3.4", but in the second line with the rain data, there is also temperature data, but with old value "4.4"

      Rain: 0.101,
      sum_rain_1: 0.202,
      sum_rain_24: 0.2
    }
  }
]

Am I doing something wrong in that weatherStationPoll event?

[Felix]

Looks ok at first glance.
BTW You could call processSerialData a single time instead of twice - ie concatenate the metrics in a single message.

[Lukapple]

Thanks for the hint. Not I'm not sure what's the correct format for merging those data together. Should the data be comma separated?

[Felix]

It has to be space separated:

TOKEN:VALUE TOKEN2:VALUE2 TOKEN3

[Lukapple]

That worked perfectly. Temperature is now properly displayed. Thanks Felix!
