i followed the PVOutput Integration Service Installation Guide v1.5.3.1 to install it on a raspberry pi i just copied all the files to the root directory?

now its installed what do i do…

Im using the rj45 to usb cord that comes with it. is this the right one?

im editing the currentcost.ini and says to change to port but how do i know what port it is?
i have setup the pvoutput.ini file

once setup do i run bin/pvoutput.sh and its good to go?

or do i have to cron it every 5 minutes?
if so how?

does it auto start if the pi is powered down?

There are two API keys. One for my account and another within the system. I was using the Xively API key from the system. It works with the API key for the account. I’m now getting an error: (Seems to be trying to load a i686 version of librxtxSerial.so ) Java HotSpot™ Client VM warning: You have loaded library /home/pi/pvoutput/lib/Linux/i686/librxtxSerial.so which might have disabled stack guard. The VM will try to fix the stack guard now. It’s highly recommended that you fix the library wi…

and end up getting this error and then it times out
i don’t know if its because im running it on measureit and that still has control of the sensors
i have stopped measure it service from running using

svc -d /service/measureit

ok done that
do i have to somehow stop the service?

now it just shows below . how do i know its working?

/dev/ttyUSB0 is the correct port, check that measureit is stopped and not grabbing the data.

unable to find out how to disable Measureit from starting up on reboot so i renamed all files i thought were important. and put the shutdown code into the rc.local file.
for some reason its not auto starting when i reboot even after follow this
Xively and CurrentCost Energy Meter
Running

The install instructions say:

Run bin/pvoutput.sh to start the process. (but this didn’t work… I needed to:

cd ~/pvoutput/bin

./pvoutput.sh (or bash pvoutput.sh)

(sudo nano /etc/rc.local #add these lines to start automatically)
my rc.local shows below. is this correct?
svc -d /service/measureit

cd ~/pvoutput/bin

./pvoutput.sh
and not sure if i have set it up correctly
im using these settings but it doesnt look right. is this how to set it up.

sensor 0 is consumption in the main graph and sensor 9 is V7 in the extended data graph.
sensors=0,9

direction=in,in

v7.sensor=9
i think its adding sensor 9 into the sensor 0 total for main consumption?
EDIT:

worked it out if i ignore the sensor i want to bypass main consumption and just put it in the V7 it works as i want
sensors=0

direction=in

v7.sensor=9
