Errors & not connecting

[timeighty5]

The script doesn't autorun on reboot. In my root's crontab, I see:

@reboot /usr/bin/python3 /home/pi/BusyLight/app.py

But for some reason, it doesn't connect to Azure IoT.

python3 --version

Python 3.7.3

sudo python3 app.py

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "app.py", line 112, in
asyncio.run(main())
AttributeError: module 'asyncio' has no attribute 'run'

sudo python3.7 app.py

Allows the Pi to connect to Azure IoT

Not sure what the issue is.

Looks like something has gone haywire with your python versions. It's strange that the version that comes out is high enough to have asyncio, but when run it looks like its an earlier version.

As a short workaround, you could change your crontab entry to use Python3.7.

@timeighty5 - I had a similar issue after it had been working for a bit (I had done some tinkering in the meantime, so not sure what caused the issue). I used @jimbobbennett 's workaround to update the crontab entry and it works now even after restart.
