Errors running deamon.py about kamstrup-402-mqtt

Looks like you haven't specified a poll interval of the meter in the configuration file.

[JeroenHaringman]

All right, I added the poll interval, my config.yaml now looks like this:

mqtt:
host: 192.168.178.84
port: 1883
client: kamstrup
topic: kamstrup
qos: 0
retain: False
authentication: False
poll_interval: 1
serial_device:
com_port: /dev/serial/by-id/usb-FTDI_FT232R_USB_UART_A5043WW6-if00-port0
kamstrup:
parameters:
- energy
- volume
- temp1
- temp2
- tempdiff

That COM port is the same one I use with the multical402-4-domoticz.py script.

When I run python3 daemon.py I get permission denied errors (can't quite remember if I had those last night as well, maybe I went straight for the sudo python3 daemon.py), so I run sudo python3 daemon.py, and then I get this:

pi@raspberrypi:~/kamstrup-402-mqtt $ sudo python3 daemon.py &
[5] 18746
[4]   Exit 1                  python3 daemon.py
pi@raspberrypi:~/kamstrup-402-mqtt $ Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "daemon.py", line 92, in <module>
    main()
  File "daemon.py", line 88, in main
    daemon = KamstrupDaemon()
  File "daemon.py", line 50, in __init__
    self.poll_interval = kamstrup_cfg["poll_interval"]
KeyError: 'poll_interval'

Looks like the same error. Also (obviously, but I checked anyway) nothing showed up on the kamstrup MQTT topic.

[matthijsvisser]

The poll interval attribute is part of the kamstrup object. You'll need to place it under the kamstrup parameters. Take a look at the example; config.yaml

[JeroenHaringman]

And that was, the solution, thank you very much! No errors when i run the script, log says it has transmitted sane values to the MQTT topic.

Now I have misconfigured the configuration.yaml of my Home Assistant and it won't start anymore 😋 but that's my problem.

Nice, have fun!
