My Bright app still seems to be working.
-
Update from support :- We had a firewall issue between 0413 and 0900 this morning that has since been resolved. Apologies for the inconvenience but be assured all is now working as expected. Kind regards, Amity Wilson

All working again at 9:15am

I was hoping to have heard from support by now. Decided to go ahead and re-run the set up wifi procedure. Just as much pain as ever but I did finally see the message “Success : you’ve connected stick to internet. Make sure all lights are green. Th…

Working again now
-
I'm still struggling ! Jane has given me a link to some 'handy hints' but that list doesn't include what sort of security protocol the stick expects me to use. If no protocol is selected, it won't ask for a password at all so there's a choice betwe…

Thanks Jane

I have tried to raise a support ticket but the support page doesn't seem to recognise my password and hasn't sent me a 'token' to allow me to 'change' it (back to the one I've always used !)

At approx 3:30 BST my glowstick was showing a red light and my 3:30 meter reading had been missed. No real problem - my 3pm reading had been received OK and I'd noticed the red light, rebooted stick and set up a manual meter reading for 3:35 (when …

Thanks Jane, I don't often rely on the laptop buy away from home this week and just realised that I hadn't added Bright to my list of regularly used urls. &BTW "a customer" who recommended Bluestacks was me - but that's not on my lapt…
-
I imagine this issue was the reason why the app was claiming that my Glowstick "had no internet" - even though all 3 lights on it were green. It wasn't working Monday evening or Tuesday when I left home but seemed to recover during the d…

I collect half-hourly electricity meter readings via Python & MQTT then save them in a database. There are no gaps in my table since midnight last night.
-
The problems I reported on this page still recur sporadically. MQTT less affected than the Bright app but not working normally. I have emailed 'support@glowmarkt.com' to raise a ticket.
-
Something odd happened last night. The PC version of the Bright app (https://bright.glowmarkt.com/dashboard) had several instances of claiming the Glowstick was offline and indeed the app on my mobile phone was saying the same. Some of the time the…

I have been making a Python MQTT request every 30 mins for almost two years. They usually get moved +/- 5 secs or so anyway without even trying. Not sure how to do it with the API (or even why anyone might prefer that to MQTT). Apart from last few…

11:29:57 i.e. 3 secs early 12:00:08 i.e. 8 secs late 12:29:56 i.e. 4 secs early Nothing too dreadful there but timings are usually all in same direction and within a few secs of the true half hour At a guess, the 12:00 attempt took longer th…

I managed one at 10:27:55 (just to check it was working) using my PC then using my old mob :- 10:29:56 11:00:27 I usually aim for getting a meter reading on the half hour. 4 secs early at 10:30 is fairly normal; 27secs late at 11:00 was unusual (…

My Python script wasn't working a few mins ago (hence posting on the 'Outage' thread) but seems to have recovered now.
-
Not sure why trying to quote failed ! @janeatGlow posted :- (3/2) FURTHER UPDATE For our customers with a CAD, Bright, our APIs and MQTT have been restored but response times may still be a bit slower than usual. For people who don't have our CAD an…

You might even find that people would be willing to pay extra for local access.
-
(as explained above) MQTT still not working for me ! But I'm not seeing the app either - or the webpage version. Or to be more precise, both versions load OK but home page doesn't show anything.
-
My Glowstick is showing 3 green lights so presumably working OK. But some sort of server problem (DOS again ?) means that I'm getting no data from it. Local access would solve this at a stroke !
-
Not sure exactly when my app or the webpage version stopped working but I noticed its absence from 2pm Tues (Feb 1st) MQTT worked OK at 10am Tues but not since (except that my Python script seems to be trying to connect then re-processing an old pay…
-
I run Python on an old mobile phone using a script that calls MQTT every half hour and stores results in a MySQL database. I get the occasional glitch whereby full datafile isn't downloaded a couple of times a week but otherwise, system has run we…

Here's the latest JSON string but 'prettied up' and with MPAN & meter serial number removed :- { elecMtr: { 0702: { 03: { 01: "000001", 05: "43", 04: "9B", 02: "0003E8", 07: "(My MPAN)", 08: &q…

I'm now able to get my meter readings with MQTT but rather disappointed to see that rather than the 3 decimal places that Octopus seem to offer (but not till following day) I'm only seeing the first decimal place plus a 0 or 5 in second and third is…
-
I've asked about reading the export register with MQTT but I think you can only do that if you're on an export tariff and meter has been programmed to provide that reading. Certainly my JSON string doesn't have a block labelled ["elecMtr"…
-
I've pretty well accomplished what I set out to do with a suite of two python files , one php file and one batch file run from Task Scheduler. I can download the JSON payload with a script I call GetMeterReading.py which collects the JSON payload …
-
I've found my 'extra line' - I just needed to add print ("Payload : ", payload) within the def on_message block script now receives a message from glowmqtt.energyhive.com and prints it out. I'll worry later about what to do with …

I think I've (sort of) answered my two main points :- I still can't find a specific IT use of 'gist' so assume it's simply it's general meaning of 'nub' or 'salient points. From an email of Jane's, I've deduced that "GLOW_DEVICE_ID" pro…
