The count (-c) parameter doesn't work

[tuccler]

Hello, i have installed the script on a fresh Raspbian installation. It seems that the count option has no effect at all. With -c 1 the script should stop after the first run bit it goes ahead.

Hi The first thing you need to do is install the mqtt client using sudo pip3 install paho-mqtt as shown in your output above. The script will be raising an exception before it gets to the delay because the mqtt publish will be failing.

I installed the paho-mqtt packet. Problem still exists.

Can you show me your output again please - like you did in the first post?

JsBergbau fixed it.

Ah. I see your confusion. In my script I have changed the behaviour of the -c to be the number of readings taken from a device before moving on to the next one. My script behaves exactly as designed. -del let’s you set the delay in seconds between changing devices.

Ok thanks. I will give it another try.
