Hi I have a Watts Clever EW4008 Consumption monitor that I have successfully used to upload data to PVOutput on and off since 2018. This past week I wanted to resume uploading to PVOutput However, after awhile of uploading the data to PVOutput it just stops working. Subsequent attempts to run PVBeancounter didn’t work and I would see constant errors in the log.
In a effort to fix the issue I reinstalled PVBeancounter and reconfigured it from scratch. As I only want to monitor consumption and that is usually straight forward. I also used Auto Setup to configure managers and devices correctly. This worked successfully a couple times and when I started the service in PVBeancounter it updated as it should. Then it again just randomly stops and wont restart updating PVOutput.
I also use the prolific usb to serial comm port driver with cable to connect to my computer running Windows 10.
Can anyone help with a fix…PLEASE
When I check the log I get the following errors:
