Hello,
I try to run a self-created script via my MeteoBridge RPI, unfortunately only the error message in the sending monitor: 2026-09-18 08:26:40 Error: 2026-09-18 08:26:38 Script failed: (no more tries):
I uploaded the script to the Scripts directory on the MeteoBridge under /data/scripts, in the Events tab, under Select Service, I selected Script Execution. Then select predefined script -> my. Script selected -> Clicked to load script and then click on save. The script is passed as parameter the ground temperature 4: [soil4temp-act.0]
here is the script:
#!/bin/sh
#
# rain_duration.sh (Meteobridge event version)
#------------------------------------------------
# Is periodically set by Meteobridge itself by "events" (events)
# called (e.g. every minute), with the current sensor value as
# first parameter. In the Meteobridge surface in the parameter field
# of the event simply enter:
#
# [soil4temp-act.0]
#
# Meteobridge automatically replaces this with the current value before
# the script is called - the script gets it as $1.
#
# IMPORTANT: Pure POSIX-sh (no bash, no bc, no curl), since
# Meteobridge only brings a slimmed down BusyBox environment.

Can someone tell me why the script is not running? Thank you!
The FTP parameters are of course correctly entered in the original script...
User defined Script on MB Pro RPI will not run..
