Data input screen for child temperature and logging

[jayceekeys]

Hi guys,

I use HS3Touch on custom screens around the house (Amazon HD10).

I would like to add a screen which has 4 text boxes - one for each member of the house, where we enter our body temp each morning and a button next to the boxes that updates the device value for each person's virtual device. The Text box would have to be able to accept decimal places (1DP). I would then like to be able to create a log of each person's temperature in HS3.

I know I will be able to get around the creation of text boxes but am wondering if anyone has any ideas on existing plugins that may help with keeping a log in HS3? I did look at BLChart, however it looks like it only logs on and off for a device.

It would be great to get this up and running as it would help log temperatures with the Coronavirus about - especially important when you have children with complex health needs.

If anyone has any pointers I would be REALLY greatful.

Cheers,

Jay

Because it's your call, I suggest you search along these lines : https://moschip.com/blog/iot/IoT-bas...dy-temperature

You may need MQTT for that.

Hey Eman,

Thanks for the link ... it looks interesting, but probably looking for a simpler data record rather than a device to automatically track the temperature as both children are special needs - they won't wear any devices or watches.

I've actually found a plugin that looks perfect to log the data - SKWare Device History Plugin - which can read the status or string of any device and produce a log and chart of it. The only thing I need to work out now is how to do data entry from the HSTouch screen into a text box, then save the value as a string - also getting arund the fact that the string can only hold whole integers and that I will need to multiply by 10 and then divide by ten and hopefully get the plugin to monitor that instead.

Cheers,

Jay

You may need the iHealth : https://ihealthlabs.com/support/thermometer/pt3

For the knowledge base : https://liu.diva-portal.org/smash/get/diva2:949264/FULLTEXT01.pdf or contact Michael McSharry with the idea. I think he can cook up something.

Edit : I forgot to mention that once the you get the data using MQTT then that's straight down in HSTouch!

I guess am not trying to steer you in other directions but am basing my answers on automation. There was another thread here : https://forums.homeseer.com/forum/homeseer-products-services/system-software-controllers/hs3-hs3pro-software/hs3-hs3pro-discussion/107992-a-script-to-log-device-changes-to-influxdb-for-use-with-grafana on logging data with grafana.

If you are running linux (or can load gnuplot and perl on windows. Also might have to use Task Scheduler in windows) I have written to how-to's on the forum to read from devices and write to files then be able to plot the data.

Hey guys,

Thankyou so much for your ideas and help.

After Eman made his suggestions I actually found a tricorder device that checks temperature, oxygen saturation, ECG and a ton of other stats all in a compact automatic device, so have ordered one:

Viatom Vital Signs Monitor Checkme Pro with APP & PC Report, Portable ECG Monitor Blood Pressure Monitor 24-Hour ECG Holter Overnight O2 Monitoring for Sleep Apnea Professional/Home Use FDA Cleared https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07S2RX2..._4vuBEbMEX30M8

Thankyou again,

Jay

here is another idea. Create a virtual device for each family member to store their temperature. Create a screen that shows each teamp along with two buttons, one to increase and one to decrease. Each time you take a temp, adjust the value using the buttons. Then use the Device History plugin to keep track of the history and display charts as needed.
