Issue with update & git changes

[CFenner]

When there are changes in the local git and the code cannot be updated, the update script now succeeds.

i know that if there are changes in the repo the update won't work. I can fix this by stashing all changes but this might not be perfect for somebody, else if you only update your config.py your repo is in updatable state.

I think the update works fine now. my devices updated all fine. How was on your end?

[CFenner]

No, not really. Looks like my config is not really handled correctly. I enable update sensor and uptime seconds but nothing is showing up. Really weird.

[CFenner]

For some reason the fan topic is reported as False

Shouldn't this be 0 or not be there at all?

[hjelev]

The issue with the git and update should be resolved now, but you need to reinstall as there are changes to the service file + one additional git command during installation to allow root to read the repository. You are right in your last comment that I am sending disabled values, will dig into this now

What is the best way to uninstall and make sure there is no process running anymore? When I did changes in the past to the script and ran it more often, I had the feeling the old script was running somewhere in the background.

[CFenner]

Just ran --update again and got this message.

But when running --display it's saying

Where does this come from?

[CFenner]

Ok, I was not on master branch.

I still have the feeling not all messages are coming through. Still no update sensor. Maybe my change https://github.com/hjelev/rpi-mqtt-monitor/pull/54 was not a good idea..

I now tried to use service instead of cron job. Let's see if that works better.

The 0.6.2 seems to come from here: https://github.com/hjelev/rpi-mqtt-monitor/blob/bc7ba4ec1c71e9f85afa1660e12e18b75f3706c3/src/config.py.example#L4

Interesting, I reduced the update_check_intervall to 60 and now I get only the update sensor and binary sensor for updates available. Could it be that the scripts are blocking each other?!

Edit: I also activated message grouping.

if you want to use the update and new buttons you need to run the script as a service. To uninstall:

• delete or comment out your cron entry # crontab -e
• delete the folder where the script is installed
• run the install script again and pick service option

The version in the config.py.example is 0.6.2 I am not updateing it every time but when the script is installed or updated its automatically updated. If you reinstall now as service and delete your cron entry all should be fine. I'll leave this open since it looks you still have update problems

[CFenner]

I removed the folder and service and now it seems to work.
