Service does not start

[chrigabr]

Hello, I'm on Rasperry PI Zero 2 W. I've been installing wmbusmeters several times. I can't start the service. I don't understand.

root@FramboiseN2F:/opt/wmbusmeters# systemctl status wmbusmeters.service ● wmbusmeters.service - "wmbusmeters service" Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/wmbusmeters.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled) Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Sat 2023-03-18 07:30:41 UTC; 1min 53s ago Docs: https://github.com/wmbusmeters/wmbusmeters man:wmbusmeters(1) Process: 3734 ExecStartPre=/bin/mkdir -p /var/lib/wmbusmeters/meter_readings (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Process: 3735 ExecStartPre=/bin/chown -R wmbusmeters:wmbusmeters /var/lib/wmbusmeters/meter_readings (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Process: 3736 ExecStartPre=/bin/mkdir -p /var/log/wmbusmeters (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Process: 3737 ExecStartPre=/bin/chown -R wmbusmeters:wmbusmeters /var/log/wmbusmeters (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Process: 3738 ExecStartPre=/bin/mkdir -p /run/wmbusmeters (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Process: 3739 ExecStartPre=/bin/chown -R wmbusmeters:wmbusmeters /run/wmbusmeters (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Process: 3740 ExecStart=/usr/sbin/wmbusmetersd /run/wmbusmeters/wmbusmeters.pid (code=exited, status=203/EXEC) CPU: 352ms

How did you install wmbusmeters? What does /var/log/wmbusmeters/wmbusmeters.log say?

[chrigabr]

I used

git clone https://github.com/wmbusmeters/ ./configure; make; sudo make install

var/log/wmbusmeters is empty ! :-(

Dongle sees work: root@FramboiseN2F:/opt/wmbusmeters# rtl_sdr -f 433M -s 1600000 - 2>/dev/null | rtl_wmbus -p s T1;0;0;2023-03-18 07:42:49.000;21;47;000000FF;0x T1;0;0;2023-03-18 07:45:12.000;25;25;FFFFFFFF;0x0affffffffffffffffffff T1;0;0;2023-03-18 07:51:29.000;22;52;FFFFFF3A;0x14ffffff3affffffffffffb6ffffffffffffffffff T1;0;0;2023-03-18 07:52:04.000;30;32;FFFFFFFF;0x8accffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffb1ff22ffffff09ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff T1;0;0;2023-03-18 07:52:09.000;61;18;FF1AFFFF;0x0affffffffff1affffffff T1;0;0;2023-03-18 07:53:25.000;39;19;00000000;0x

[weetmuts]

you have managed to put the build directory in /usr/bin do mv /usr/bin/wmbumeters /home/yourhome cd /home/yourhome/wmbusmeters and redo sudo make install

[chrigabr]

OK! WMBUSMETERS starts now. coooool!

One more question :-) it seems that he does not receive anything. I think it comes from the frequency. My water meter is a SENSUS iPERL which communicates at 433Mhz. But I believe that the original WMBUSMETERS is in 868.95MHz. How can I change the frequency? THANKS

Hello, after spending quite a bit of time on ISSUES I managed to find the command that works. On the other hand, you really have to be very, very patient... for once, almost 12 hours.

So with a Sensus iPERL meter here is the online command that works: cgabriel@FramboiseN2F:~ $ wmbusmeters --logtelegrams --format=json auto:t1 watermeter iperl 00211276 E6C8 8800DEB868C0D6A84880CE982840 Started auto rtlwmbus[MyDongleId] listening on t1 telegram=|1E44AE4C7612210068077AF30010052F2F_0413DFCF0300023B00002F2F2F2F|+5086 {"media":"water","meter":"iperl","name":"watermeter","id":"00211276","total_m3":249.823,"max_flow_m3h":0, "timestamp":"2023-03-19T20:53:48Z","device":"rtlwmbus[MyDongleId]","rssi_dbm":125}

Thanks for your help!

I happy it worked for you!
