[broke23]

/home/SMA-EM $ sudo python3 sma-daemon.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.5/configparser.py", line 1136, in _unify_values
    sectiondict = self._sections[section]
KeyError: 'SMA-EM'

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "sma-daemon.py", line 30, in <module>
    smaemserials=parser.get('SMA-EM', 'serials')
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.5/configparser.py", line 779, in get

  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.5/configparser.py", line 1139, in _unify_values
    raise NoSectionError(section)
configparser.NoSectionError: No section: 'SMA-EM'

Can someone help out here?

configparser missing ?
apt install python3 cl-py-configparser

typing error in /etc/smaemd/config
?
just run sudo <path/to/sma-daemon.py> start

There are known problems with Systemd because the multicast address is not yet available at system startup.

Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done cl-py-configparser is already the newest version. python3 is already the newest version. 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 38 not upgraded.

configparser is installed ...

config:

[SMA-EM]

• serials of sma-ems the daemon should take notice
• seperated by space
  serials=1900254537
• measurement values
  values=pregard psurplus qsurplus ssurplus

[DAEMON]
pidfile=/run/smaemd.pid

so no clue what I'm missing here to write the data (i edited the # icon only in here, cause it wrote in huge letters)

what i do see is that i do not have any file for :

[DAEMON]
pidfile=/run/smaemd.pid

I checked that location, I don't have that .pid file

[datenschuft]

the daemon should generate the pid file on startup, after reading the configs.
but you have a problem when reading the configs.

no idea...
Did you create the configuration file with utf8 charset?

[broke23]

I did a copy-paste from the example you put here in the github, so I guess yes ?

I just launched the following to be sure:

iconv -f UTF-8 config -o /dev/null

sudo python3 sma-daemon.py
usage: sma-daemon.py start|stop|restart
/run/smaemd.pid

sudo python3 sma-daemon.py start

and now it works!
