Jon00 Database Charting Utility for Homeseer 3 & Homeseer 4

[jon00]

How are you obtaining the value with a . as your decimal separator should be a comma?

[jon00]

Yes I'm using that, I was just getting greedy for more. Consider automatic baseline a feature request.

OK, I've added this to the next version...both baselinevalue and AxisYMaximum

Jon, great work on the charting application. Very nice addition.

I have a question on using the $dva:{device address} method in the Jon00DBCharting.ini file. I was trying to chart some values out of WeatherXML and decided to use the device address rather than the device reference. When I specify the device reference I am able to chart the temperature values with no issues. When I use the device address it only records a 0 (zero). Just a guess but, I believe it could be due to the device address having spaces in it. The device address I am using is "Location 1 HST Temperature" (without the quotes).

The line in the Jon00DBCharting.ini file looks like this...

Data1=$dva:Location 1 HST Temperature

Should this work? I tried double quotes around the device address, but that produced 0 values as well.

Click on the Name link for the device in the device management page. What is shown for the code and address fields?

Show me how you are adding the device value into the database

Show me what you have under the AxisXFormat setting

[Fischi]

Hello Jon,

AxisXFormat=hh:mm:ss

The devicevalue 220 is added to the DB.
Is ist possible to devide the value in the charts by 10 ?

Regards, Fischi

[jon00]

Use

AxisXFormat=HH:mm:ss

For 24 hour (note the capital H) - See Appendix C in the docs.


I wanted you to post how you got the 220 into the database to make it easier to explain, however...

For example if you have:

Data1=$dvr:1234

You need to add the following under this line:

Multiplier1=0.1

If you wanted to do the same for Data5 i.e.

Data5=$dvr:5678

You would add the following under this line

Multiplier5=0.1

Now you're spoiling us

Thanks again, Jon !
It's running fine now.

When adding more than 4 data, the diagram shrinks, have I missed something in docs or is that one of the data cause it? Have also tried AxisYMaximum to it will be same scale but it did not help.

No, I have no easy means to know what that value is before the chart is created with the time span specified. I could read the database again but would reduce performance.

Just a thought, would it be possible to define the minimum with an HS Global Variable? Then you could have an event that keeps track of the minimum value.

You have to play around with the numbers, but it works!

Yes it does, thank you. I missed that post.

You may have missed the post but optional auto values for minimum and/or maximum values will be incorporated in the next version.
