Dew Heater Module "Failed to read sensor"

[ZekeWo]

Hi,
Installed Dew Heater module and activated. Pin 4 and DHT22.
Debug states "Failed to read sensor".
Have restarted Pi and Allsky.
Checked DHT22 on Arduino and it works fine.

Any suggestions?

Regards,
Mats

Can you please provide a few more details, pi version, os version, allsky version

Thanks

Can you try cloning the modules repository again and install the dew heater module.

I fixed an issue last night that will fix this but it requires the module to be reinstalled

Thank you for your support!

Unfortunately when trying to clone I get a message that "destination path 'allsky-modules' already exists and is not an empty directory.
Please advise what to do as I am not familiar with Linux.

Anyhow I tried to remove allsky_dewheater with Module manager.
Unticked (*) and then . The module still remains when checked again.
As I understand it should be removed?

There is a "Delete" button in Allsky Web UI for the "Sky Dew Heater Control".
Maybe remove the module from there?

When you use git clone the target directory can exist but it must be empty, which is what the error message is saying.
You can remove the directory and everything in it by running:

rm -r DIRECTORY_NAME

Got it all to work now! Readings and info in overlay.

Thank you Alex and Eric :-)
