Refreshing data for mqtt or httpd json interface- use of polling? about ebusd HOT 3 CLOSED

I can't verify your problem with the MQTT interface. Everything works just fine. Which version of mosquitto are you using? When I do a mosquitto_pub -n -t ebusd/$circuit/$name/get a couple of seconds later a mosquitto_sub -v -t "ebusd/#" receives the result.

For the regular polling of data: why don't you use the contrib/scripts/readall.sh in the cronjob for that?
And why looking into the log file at all if ebusd supports multiple regular ways to retrieve the values?

Confirmed. I had 2 ebus instances running, reason unknown (sorry- I thought I had closed this issue to clean it up).

Haha ;) Never looked there. readall seems to run through every message found and read it?

And why looking into the log file at all if ebusd supports multiple regular ways to retrieve the values?

I wanted to get a good and detailed look at the bai operation- subminute resolution and was looking for the bai to push messages instead me polling it.

Looking at the logfile I got that Status01 whenever the bai sent it (though not much else). I was afraid to have my polling overload the bus and impact bai/vrc operations if I requested too much data.

I'm still wondering what the polling (with priority levels) actually does?

from ebusd.

yes, readall.sh reads all elements matching the parameters give, so e.g. with ./readall.sh -c bai temp it would read all temperature messages of the bai circuit.
the polling does what it says, it polls the messages marked as such in regular intervals (see --pollinterval argument to ebusd). you can also use the "read" command to adjust poll priorities during runtime of ebusd. a higher a poll priority value will lead to less often poll of that message, i.e. prio 1 messages are polled in every cycle, prio 2 messages are polled every second cycle and so on.
