io/emoncms - User reports Timeout period is too short #429
Description
On the Emoncms Forum a user reported that the newly introduced HTTP Timeout appeared to be too short.
https://community.openenergymonitor.org/t/timeout-object-object-error-in-node-red/6990
This timeout was only intended to prevent gross errors and allow the capture of an event whereby no response was received. It was suggested a time of 60S would be more appropriate. It has been noted in other circumstances that there are users who communicate over high latency links so this is not surprising.
User reported that changing the value solved the error.
In addition, the error message needs to be amended so the message is better than “timeout: [object Object]”.
Suggested solution is to increase this value to 6000 and modify error message. Happy to create PR.
