HowTo refresh a virtual device?

Post by pz1 »

ref: FAQ

I do have a problem with my Wunderground App (github) I moved some of the metrics to a newly created vDev for the wind direction
direction. However the metrics that I did move out, still show up in the JSON that I get from the device.

The image below show that "moved" metrics still showing up in the configjson file in folder stage

What can I do to resfresh these devices? The data marked in yellow is expired data. Even system reboot did not clean this up

Note: The device is found under the vdevInfo-branch

I guess you should to stop server, remove metrics manually from configjson and start server again. I had to do this, as i reworked OpenWheather for me for multiple devices. But i removed from config whole old device entry, created new module, then changed id of newly created device to old one in configjson.

Thanks, I did just that, and it worked! Last time I edited this configjson 1-2 years ago it ended up in a big mess. Hence my question to the forum Apparantly the system and me have become more robust ;)

Side note: I do use Notepad++ as an editor. It does have a nice graphical tree browser on json, as can be seen in the first post

I installed a json pretty printing tool directly on my banana pi. It makes json file readable like on your screenshot. Then i can edit file using nano from my tablet, just i have to disable syntax highlighting in nano (alt-m) because configjson is to big for that.

Code: Select all

georg@bananapi:~$ cat /opt/z-way-server/automation/storage/configjson-06b2d3b23dce96e1619d2b53d6c947ec.json | json_pp
