Initial Setup Trouble

[obsm-maker]

Hi,

I am trying to run Infinitude on a ras pie 4.

i utilized the instructions at
https://github.com/nebulous/infinitude/wiki/Installing-Infinitude-on-Raspberry-PI-(raspbian)
and reached the step 'changing settings' step
my infinitude.json file only has this in it
{"app_secret":"Pogotudinal","pass_reqs":300}

PI IP- 192.168.20.2
INFINITY THERMOSTAT- 192.168.20.3
after using cd ~/infinitude ./infinitude daemon -m production
i get the message, websocket opened but no streaming source configured

per the solution in another resolved issue,i turned on the option to use proxy servers on the wall thermostat
and set the address to that of the pi (192.168.20.2) and set the proxy serial port to 03000

Please do not hesitate to ask for more details and thank you in advance.
HAPPY NEW YEAR

Hi @obsm-maker

Do you have an RS485 interface? If not(and that's fine - it's not required) then that message makes sense.
Is infinitude failing to start? Can you access the web interface at http://192.168.20.2:3000/?

This is the second recent question having to do with those instructions and the json file so I'd like to get them clarified - what were you expecting to see in the json file that you aren't seeing?

hi. i dont have the interface. i was excpecting to find this"serial_tty":"/dev/ttyUSB0 However it is now working !! how would i go about adding 4 additional thermostats. (if you wouldnt mind specifying the changes i need to make on the wall units)
many thanks

you can optionally add a serial_tty if you have a serial interface - but that's not required.

for multiple thermostats, it's not exactly elegant, but it is simple: run an instance of Infinitude for every separate thermostat.

Hopefully that makes sense. Please do feel free to update the wiki clarifying any of the bits which were confusing! As a new user you have the best context/perspective to help others in the same situation.

Hi thank you for your quick reply. How would i go about running 4 additonal instances on a rasberry pi. currently it is not installed in any container

[nebulous]

You would just run it another four times, each on a different port. ie first one on 3000, and the last one on 3004. Make sure that each instance has its own state folder configured so they don't stomp on one another. The simplest, if again not the most elegant, way to do this is to make a copy of infinitude into a folder for each thermostat

eg

~/infinitude/guest_house
~/infinitude/garage_apartment
~/infinitude/basement_vrbo
~/infinitude/primary
~/infinitude/upstairs
