BDGraphs: Device value recording and graphing (charts)

[BrunDog]

Here is the discussion thread for BDGraphs, posted here: http://board.homeseer.com/showthread.php?p=1033807

Please note that HS2 and HS3 versions are available.

Thanks BD! Based on some recent upgrades there are some things I want to graph. I haven't looked at the other choices on the board yet so I will give it a try as a new user.

I downloaded and read the docs. There's a lot it can do. I travel weekly and don't mess with prod while on the road.

FYI, I found a bug where a device name that has a hyphen in it will cause some of the functions to fail. I have fixed it and will update the package shortly.

Added a few simple things to trap in events. Homeseer had to be restarted for it to function properly, got ole db script errors until I did when running events.

Will work with it more tomorrow

[BrunDog]

Hi pbibm,

Could you be more specific? What error did you get, where (in the log), and using which function?

I am working on the graph formatting now, but would like to make sure the backend DB stuff works as the priority. Obviously its hard to really debug when I can only write & test on one machine. :-{

Hey BD, sure, its below. It came up for my first two "add" executions from events. After I restarted HS, that was the end of it.

I'm not sure why I thought this, but restarting HS seemed the right thing to do given the .net 4 capabilities. As such, this might be a "loose nut behind the keyboard" kind of problem.

Blue is the call, red is the error, green are other event actions in the event that called the add, not colored are log entries in the middle that were part of the event in which I added the "add" parameter.

OK, so is it now working?

This kind of makes sense as you noted. If that is the case, I will update the directions.

Don't go too crazy yet setting up too many devices... I am updating the Make function to move the login credentials out of there and into the .exe. This way these admin credentials are not visible to Normal users.

[pbibm]

Sounds good and the plan was to start small and see what happens.

I really wanted to track humidity on my new 2441TH Stat but just replaced it as the first one was "possessed". As I am writing this and watching it, this one seems to have the same problem so I will leave BDGraphs as is.

I can't seem to look at the mdb which would let me see what's going in it. I move a copy in another location on my server and access says "this file is not from your intranet or untrusted location....". I moved it to a desktop with office 2010. It opens, but can't find tables etc. This is not a big deal, it would help me validate HS Adds vs whats in the db

[BrunDog]

Kooky! I can open the .mdb fine with Access 2007 but it does give me a warning about formatting or something. You can try making your own, blank BDGraphs.mdb and put it in place. Then run the "Add" function. It should create the table in the .mdb. You can then try to look in it again.

Likewise, if you would like to post your MDB here, I can try to open it for you.

-BD

[BrunDog]

I updated the package to version 1.0.5. The major change beyond code optimizations is the Addition of an .ini file, which contains login credentials and graph styles.

NOTE: The "Make" function has changed... you no longer put the login credentials there, they must be in the .ini file. In addition, you must declare a graph style to use. See the updated instructions in the PDF.

Sample BDGraphs images

Here's a look at some of the graphs you can create using the added graph styles. These are all the same data source, but different chart types, colors, etc. There are many, many customizations that can be coded in, and I will do a bunch more, but then will let requests drive the more detailed ones.

Hi Brundog,
It looks great, looking forward to install it. In the future releases, could you please add the ability to show two set of values in one graph. i.e. I would love to see the outside temperature against the the inside temperature.
I image I will not have any issues seeing them in HSTouch devices, correct?

Thanks for the great plugin,
Aldo

[BrunDog]

Yes, the ability to store and graph multiple values is in the pipeline. I would like to get more of the graph styles added (including 3D, which is a bunch of work on its own), then I will address this.

The images are .png format and are stored in /HTML/images/BDGraphs, so you should have no issue using in HSTouch.

Error: Script compile error in encrypted script

Hi BD,

The package looks great. I downloaded the latest version last night to try it out and configured it today. When trying my first add command, I got the following error message:

10/10/2012 9:10:57 PM  Event  Event Trigger "Update Voltage Level"

Any ideas?

[BrunDog]

Jeez, I dunno! I just ran it and did not have any issues, but that of course is on my machine where I developed it! I don't have another way to test it, my apologies.

1. What version of HS do you have?
2. Did you install .NET 4.0? You don't have to for the "Add" part to work.
3. Try restarting HS. As you can see above, pbim also got a script compile error and restarting HS fixed his issue. I am not sure why his error stated where the problem occured.
4. (dumb question but I gotta ask)... did you copy the BDGraphs.mdb file to the specified folder, which is your homeseer folder\Data\BDGraphs\? I do not believe this to be the issue because the script checks for the .mdb file and gives you an error (in english).

** UPDATE: See next thread - I think I know whasup.
