Enviro Indoor stops posting via MQTT when storage is full.

[maddogeco]

I have a pair of Enviro Indoor’s (Pico W boards). I have set them up to post every 5 minutes to Home Assistant via MQTT. They were posting every 5 minutes like little champs for 3 weeks. After 3 weeks or so they stop posting. When I plug them into Thonny I can see there are lots of reading log files and no free disk space. Once I delete the log files, they will continue posting readings until all the storage space is full again. Can the log files be automatically removed after a set time or remove the oldest as the disk fills up.

Thanks for raising this. I will look into the best way to do this.

@maddogeco Do you recall which log files specifically? Checking the most recent code, the main log.txt auto truncates, and files in uploads are deleted after they are uploaded. The only files that are not deleted are the ones in readings which (now at least) only get created if you have specified that readings should be stored locally rather than uploaded.

yes it is the readings folder that is filling up. i have set it up to post via mqtt. should they be removed after the post happens ?

I /think/ that this was the behaviour under version 0.0.2.

I have a feeling that I also managed to get it happening when I was trying to upload to two endpoints, which was almost certainly down to me bodging some bit of code badly.

[ZodiusInfuser]

Being behaviour under v0.0.2 sounds plausible. @maddogeco I would suggest you try updating the code with what is in this branch: https://github.com/pimoroni/enviro/tree/patch

I know for sure that does not create readings files unless you explicitly say you want local logging.

There is a new release that should fix this issue, so I'm closing this: https://github.com/pimoroni/enviro/releases/tag/v0.0.9 Please re-open it or raise a new issue if you update and experience the problem again. Thanks
