Hi, I´m using node-red-contrib-tibber-api without problems, but something internal seems to be wrong, my micro-sd card has been written full (20GB) with these messages from Node-Red:

In debug there is no error showing, everything is fine.

Any idea what´s going wrong with the tibber live feed, who is writing my sd-card completly full ?

There are two issues here.

  1. Why is the node apparently spamming syslog with messages
  2. Why is not syslog getting rotated so that old data is deleted.

For 1, I suggest you ask a question on the node's issues page

For 2, what does this command show?
ls -l /var/log/syslog*

3 
ls -l /var/log/syslog*
-rw-r----- 1 root adm  235083  3. Jul 07:50 /var/log/syslog
-rw-r----- 1 root adm 1589989  2. Jul 00:00 /var/log/syslog.1
-rw-r----- 1 root adm      21 27. Jun 21:47 /var/log/syslog.2.gz

I think it is rotating each week

4

There is only a few MB there. Where are the GBs you mentioned?

5

I´ve deleted them and disabled the nodes

6

Well it is difficult to diagnose the problem if you have deleted the evidence.

7

the inventor of tibber api is looking for the problem...

@Colin do you know how I can make a tibber api query on my own?

curl \
-H "Authorization: Bearer 5K4MVS-OjfWhK_4yrjOlFe1F6kJXPVf7eQYggo8ebAE" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-X POST \
-d  '{ "query": "{viewer {homes {currentSubscription {priceInfo {current {total energy tax startsAt }}}}}}" }' https://api.tibber.com/v1-beta/gql

https://developer.tibber.com/docs/guides/calling-api

with this:

subscription{
  liveMeasurement(homeId:"xxxxxx"){
    timestamp
    power
    accumulatedConsumption
    accumulatedCost
    currency
    minPower
    averagePower
    maxPower
  }
}

I don´t know how to put that in http request.

the tibber-api live feed is quering every 2s, I would do it 5 oder 10s on my own.

No, that is not an area in which I have good knowledge. Probably someone else can help convert the curl to an http request.
