PIO remote step by step for dummies?

I think this is not an user problem.

It doesn’t works even using this script.

python -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/platformio/platformio/develop/scripts/get-platformio.py)"

Sorry, that was our issue. We rebuilt PIO Plus Core with a support for ARMv6l. Please run pio update. Everything should work now.

Hi!

Thanks for all your effort!

I got it working now and I have successfully updated the firmware of my 3D printer. :smiley:

I had to reinstall everything again since just update PIO core doesn’t solve the problem.

This time I have installed using this command:

sudo python -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/platformio/platformio/develop/scripts/get-platformio.py)"

Now I think only login with token is not working.
I got this message when not logged in:

PIO Plus (https://pioplus.com) v1.4.10
You are not logged in. Please log in to PIO Account using
PlatformIO IDE > PIO Home > Account or `pio account login` command and try again.

If you don't have PIO Account yet, please create it using
PlatformIO IDE > PIO Home > Account or `pio account register` command.

When I did login with email and pass then tried with token I got:

Error: [API] Account: Invalid password

But token is right I tried regenerate it too.

Best regards.

How do you use this token?

pio account token -p Mytoken

See docs

Hi!

I can’t se any example of usage in docs.

I’m just following the help from the pio command.

pi@Geeetech:~ $ pio account token -h
Usage: pio account token [OPTIONS]

Options:
  -p, --password TEXT
  --regenerate
  --json-output
  -h, --help           Show this message and exit.

As you can see in docs there’s no information about -p option.

Best regards.

Now I just found by try and error that -p is to show the current token as string. Equivalent to this option in IDE.

So typing pio account token -p passwordUsedinPIOaccount will return an output like this:

PIO Plus (https://pioplus.com) v1.4.10
Personal Authentication Token: 7*************************************************9

I just would like to use this token following your advice here but I can’t see any way to place this token before start remote agent.

See PIO Token workflow:

  1. You generate your own token
  2. You put it to system environment variable PLATFORMIO_AUTH_TOKEN

Now, all PIO Plus commands work without authentication.

Hi!

Sorry by bother you but It is not clear to me.

if I have an auto start script like this where I’ll add this variable before start remote agent?

[Unit]
Description=pio remote agent
Requires=network-online.target
After=network-online.target

[Service]
Type=simple
# change to your user of choice
User=pi
Group=pi
WorkingDirectory=/home/pi

ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/platformio remote agent start
Restart=always

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Because when the session is expired the agent won’t start to send this token.

Maybe is more simple add ExecStartPre=/usr/local/bin/platformio account login -u MyEmail -p MyPassword for this script or something like this.

Also please add info about token -p option to docs.

Best regards.

See systemd.service

Environment=“ONE=one” ‘TWO=two two’
ExecStart=echo $ONE $TWO ${TWO}

You need something like this

[Unit]
Description=pio remote agent
Requires=network-online.target
After=network-online.target

[Service]
Type=simple
# change to your user of choice
User=pi
Group=pi
WorkingDirectory=/home/pi
Environment="PLATFORMIO_AUTH_TOKEN=INSERT_TOKEN_HERE"
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/platformio remote agent start
Restart=always

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

It worked!

Thank you very much for all your help!

After reboot I did:

pi@Geeetech:~ $ pio account show
PIO Plus (https://pioplus.com) v1.4.10

Logged as: token
PIO Plus Plan: PIO Plus Community

I’ve done the same steps multiple times to avoid errors, but I can’t get output from platformio.

On the develop machine I have done nothing and it works like a charm.
On raspberry I’ve tried with and without penv with same results.

Fixed in v1.5.2. Sorry.

Don’t apologize, thanks for your quick response!! :blush:
