Showing AIO data on a Pyportal Moderators: adafruit_support_bill, adafruit

I'm also seeing this error when using the PyPortal library's push_to_io() function.

You may want to try downgrading to the Adafruit circuitpython requests library version 1.6.0, requests.get isn't working in the latest build. I'd also downgrade from CircuitPython 6.0 beta to 5.3.1 stable

Thank you brubell. Do you have a link to that version handy?

FYI, I also tested it with the latest 5.3.1 distribution. Confirmed the same issue.

It looks like the version that was included in the 5.3.0 2020-06-23 bundle is working nicely. Thanks!

Could you share your code? Has anything changed with the recent the release of 6.0.0 candidate?

[HarpDude]

Here's an extract of the code that instantiates the pyportal class and its push_to_io() function. Regardless of the surrounding code, it fails when using push_to_io.

Code: Select all | TOGGLE FULL SIZE

# Import the PyPortal class; includes ESP32 and IO_HTTP client modules
import adafruit_pyportal as pp

# Instantiate the PyPortal class
pyportal = pp.PyPortal(url=ADAFRUIT_IO_DATA_SOURCE,
                       json_path=ADAFRUIT_IO_DATA_LOCATION,
                       status_neopixel=pp.board.NEOPIXEL,
                       default_bg=0x000000)

pyportal.push_to_io(SHOP_HUMIDITY, humidity)

No, I haven't had the time to check it against the latest candidate or bundle, but hope to in the next few days after the project's sensors are received.

Yes, please remove the Requests library from your lib folder and replace it with this one

Thank you!

Could you try replacing the Requests library on your device with this version of the library?
https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_Ci ... /tag/1.6.0

[HarpDude]

I replaced the code you most recently referenced on a PyPortal running CircuitPython 6.0.0-beta.2 (2020-10-05). It worked much better than the 1.6.0 version I found; the found version would retransmit about 25% of the time. Your referenced version ran with no retransmissions during an hour of testing.

Results were the the same with CircuitPython 6.0.0-rc.0 (2020-10-20) and the latest bundle (sans the bundled Requests library, of course).

Thank you for your help Brent. This puts the workshop corrosion monitor project back on track just in time for the seasonal change when the corrosion potential increases dramatically.

BTW, it would be extremely useful to have a companion pyportal.pull_from_io(feed) function to retrieve a feed's latest data point. Would an addition like that be possible?

I found out I was just being stupid and using my forum password instead of the AIO key.

[brubell]

ok - thank you for updating me
