Assistance for a newby getting things running in Ubantu 14.04

[karelwh]

I have unzipped download into a folder Powerwall2PVOutput in my Documents folder.
I then edited the PW_Config putting in the key, system ID and IP address of the Gateway.
I then used cd to get the files and used the command python PW_Datalogger.py in terminal. This shows the line "2018-10-18 15:33:09,572 Start PVOutput datalogger"
I the edited my crontab file adding the line
"*/5 * * * * python ~/Documents/Powerwall2PVOutput/PW_PVOExport.py >/dev/null2>&1"
hopefully to upload the data every 5 minutes.
Nothing seems to be happening!!! Any help would be greatly appreciated.

make sure you reference the full path for python in crontab eg. /usr/bin/python

Also full path in your config for the sqlite db.

Thanks- I have referenced full paths
At last I have the cron working properly (Had to change PW_PVOExport..py to PW_PVOExport_py for Ubuntu.
The sqlite database is being populated - values back to Powerwall install.
However no change on PVOutput web page.
Since the solar instal I have been using Fronius push service to send data to PVOutput.
I have used the same API key for the config for Powerwall2PVOutput. Is this OK or do I need a new API key? If so will that stop the Fronius push from working?
Your help is appreciated.

Not sure regarding using the same key for multiple devices. Do you have a log that you can send me?

If I can't use the same key for 2 devices, could I open a separate PVOutput account and get it running with the Powerwall data. (Obviously have to donate again). But that would mean I still collect the Fronius data until I am up and running properly with the Powerwall data? On 7 November 2018 at 07:17, Karel Witten-Hannah <karel@wittenhannah.com> wrote:

You can use 2 separate accounts.

Log file should be in the folder where your python files are

[karelwh]

Thanks. Log file attached. Will set up a separate account tomorrow.

Thanks again for your help. I set up a new account, redid the config file etc. I looked at the cron log and found 2018-11-08 16:45:01,675 - Start PVOutput export 2018-11-08 16:45:02,153 - get_sqlite_data: no such table: View_pw 2018-11-08 16:45:02,181 - [ERROR] object of type 'bool' has no len() 2018-11-08 16:45:02,184 - delete_sqlite_data: no such table: pw 2018-11-08 16:45:02,189 - End PVOutput export However if I ran PW_*PVOExport_py *from the terminal data was at last uploaded to PVOutput. Not sure about why I changed the crontab to: PATH=/usr:/usr/bin:/usr/bin/python:/home/karel/Documents/Powerwall2PVOutput */5 * * * * cd '/home/karel/Documents/Powerwall2PVOutput' ; python /home/karel/Documents/Powerwall2PVOutput/PW_PVOExport_py >> /home/karel/Documents/Powerwall2PVOutput/tempCronLog.txt Data is now being uploaded successfully to PVOutput.
