      Can you run this command (I hope the syntax is correct, I am getting it from another post):

      hs.writelog("", hs.plugin("Current Cost").ChartLastHourUrl(0,500,100))

      and then copy exactly what is printed to the log into this thread please

        Im testing that now, so far it seems ok.
        Gonna post the results here.

        I use Optismart for my envir, should that cause any problem?

          The optismart sensor should link two channels to your meter, one is a data channel and has a pulse count on it and the other is a psuedo channel in the same format as the conventional current clamps. This last channel should be in the same format and present itself to the plugin the same, from looking at your database the data is being stored correctly and even with the . as a data seperator. If the data is storing in the monthly cost history table correctly then I would not think it is a problem with the data, more a problem with the charting.

            This what come up in the log when i run the command:

            08.05.2012 17:39:36 - System - Control Panel Immediate Script: &hs.writelog("", hs.plugin("Current Cost").ChartLastHourUrl(0,500,100))

              If you copy that into your browser you will get the chart showing up incorrectly, whereas if you copy this it will show correctly;

              http://chart.apis.google.com/chart?c...33&chxl=0:|41| | |43| | |45| | |47| | |49| | |51| | |53| | |55| | |57| | |59| | |1| | |3| | |5| | |7| | |9| | |11| | |13| | |15| | |17| | |19| | |1:|0|1,837|3,675|2:|KWH Last Hour|3:|KWH|&chxp=2,1.837|3,1.837&chdlp=b&chls=2|2&chxs=0,00 0000,11.5,0,lt,676767|1,000000,11.5,0,lt,676767

              The bug is in the fact you use a comma as a decimal seperator in the &chxp parameter, in your setup it will show as &chxp=2,1,837 whereas it should be &chxp=2,1.837 . When it uses the comma it will cause all sorts of problems as it is a character in the charts API that does other things.

              I imagine it is a similar if not the same problem in all of the other charts, I know I had to use a replace function myself to cope with it and it worked OK.

              I am not sure how you record bugs now, Rupp will need to answer that one.

                    it's ok... for now

                    I don't have a envi device but i use the plugin tot keep track of my energy usage of my kamstrup smart meter (reading a p1 port). I make use of this line to capture data to the currentcost database.
                    &hs.plugin("Current Cost").UpdateSensor 1,(hs.DeviceValue("r8")).

                    I think that the problem is caused bij too many entries in the database while the device r8, is updated every 10 seconds by the kamstrup electricity meter, and not every minute. I renamed the database and scheduled the task once every minute and the graph looks ok for now... hope it still does tomorrow...

                        Gonna try that version when i come home from job.
                        But, i did make the plugin too work yesterday.
                        What i did was change (,) too (.) in my Regional and Language Options.
                        Look at the picture and see what i did, I changed the (,) too(.) for number as well.

                        So, i think the problem is somthing withe the (,) and (.)

                        As i said i gonna switch back to (,) and see if the new version works better.

                              I did get a answer from the helpdesk again today.
                              They did say this:

                              " Looks like the charts will not work for you then as we use Google charting:
                              http://chart.apis.google.com/chart

                              The values we pass are seperated by commas, and since your numbers use commas, it messes up the formatting."


                              Does that mean that they can`t fix it?
                              MrHappy you use google charting in some of your plugin and they works for me...

                                Yes I do because I test the Globalization.NumberFormatInfo.CurrentInfo.NumberDecimalSepa rator setting and then change the charting string based on what this is set to on your PC. I just forgot to fully test it (on my list of things to sort out today)...obviously I can't answer why HS can't fix it but it should be possible.
