I have an existing InfluxDB database on my raspberry pi 5. Does anyone know how I can make the pironman logger work with that database? There is a conflict right now and the dashboard doesn’t work (I can still control colors and such, just not view the stats).

Thanks

Unfortunately, we have not been able to reproduce the issue you are experiencing at the moment. It seems to be a database-related problem, which is causing the dashboard data to not display properly.

However, we have had users report this issue before, and they were able to resolve it. You can try the following steps to see if it helps in your case:

Command:  
sudo service pironman5 stop  
sudo rm -fr /var/lib/influxdb/data/pironman5  
sudo rm -fr /var/lib/influxdb/wal/pironman5  
sudo service pironman5 start

> Greeting, Nope, all is set to its default value. UPDATE (adding here since i cannot add another reply) It seems to be an issue with the shutdown. I had to start the system by unplugging and replugging in the power cable (the power button were not working) and now it seems it’s working. I think there’s some kind of issue with the “halt” or the “suspend” mode.
