Hi there!
I am using a Sense Hat on Raspberry pi 4.
I have exactly the same problem that bubba198 reported on 14 July. I tried the proposed solution but the problem persists! Sense Hat sensors are still missing as you can see in my screenshot.
Please Advise!
There is already a solution for it for bubba198 Sense Hat support on Raspberry Pi - #64 by bubba198
Thank you for the quick response !
If you mean this
"cd /etc/myDevices/plugins/cayenne-plugin-sensehat
sudo sed -i ‘s/True/False/’ /etc/myDevices/plugins/cayenne-plugin-sensehat/sensehat/startservice.py
sudo python3 setup.py install
sudo service myDevices restart
"
I have already tried ( twice …) . No Luck . Any other solution or idea to try ?
run this command and share the log:-

check your connection with sensehat. The raspberry pi is not detecting it. You may want to manually check and see if you can read data from sensehat first.
Thank you !
I will check the hardware connection . Any suggestions for reading/testing manually ?
Thank you !
I will read and try . First try using python3 returns error " Cannot detect RPI Sense …etc " .
My Pi obviously does not see my Sense Hat for some reason , even though it has all its led lights brightly on .
Thank you again !
is it continuously on??
that means some issue with the sensehat or connection. The light should turn ON and then turn OFF once booted.
dtoverlay=rpi-sense
was missing on /boot/config.txt
After adding and rebooting PROBLEM SOLVED !
Thank you
I have done all of the suggested changes. The lights go off as they should, and also have access and read each one of the sensors and the LED-matrix via python examples. So there should be no connection or hardware problem. Still the
tail -f /var/log/myDevices/cayenne.log
gives

On the dashboard I have only the SensHAT Digital and SensHAT Analog actuator.
What happens here ?
Thanks
can you try
cd /etc/myDevices/plugins/cayenne-plugin-sensehat
sudo sed -i ‘s/True/False/’ /etc/myDevices/plugins/cayenne-plugin-sensehat/sensehat/startservice.py
sudo python3 setup.py install
sudo service myDevices restartI have already done that. Here is my current startservice.py file:
“”"
This module provides script for starting the Sense HAT service. This service is needed so that it can be run
as root to use the sense_hat module, while allowing clients that are not running as root to access Sense HAT data.
“”"
from sensehat.manager import start_server
if name == “main”:
start_server(True)
of course I have done it once more… but still…

^C
I pressed CTL-C because after some pause a next read of rows comes out…
since you are able to read the data from sense hat using python, I would suggest you to use GitHub - myDevicesIoT/Cayenne-MQTT-Python: Python Library for Cayenne MQTT API to send sense hat data to send to cayenne as it will take some time to resolve this issue.
Ok… It seems I am of the lucky ones… Hopefully you come eventually with a solution…
thanks for the fast answer…
