Temperature sensor does nog work Raspberry Pi2

Votes:

0

I just setted up a Raspberry Pi 2 with the newest version of rasbian. I have completed the setup for linux miniprobe to connect it to prtg.

The miniprobe works 100% and cpu, ram ect. works fine in prtg. The temperature sensor works in the pi. i can readout the temperatures. But the sensor in PRTG gives a error message. Error: DS18B20 sensor failed. See log for details

Do i need to make a script within the pi or should it work?

prtg rasbian raspberry-pi temperature

What are the results when you execute the following command:

ls -al /sys/bus/w1/devices

Could you post the results?

I Fixed it,

in the sensor code of the temperature sensor there is a comment i have removed. PythonMiniProbe/miniprobe/sensors/ds18b20.py

and changed:

#import __init__

TO:

import __init__

Now it works
