Jon00 Virtual device graphing utility

[Pierre]

I am not sure any more right now, it may be a problem with HS, not your script ...
I think that the value is rounded when saved with hs.setdevicevalue.
I will check tomorrow, and let you know.
Thank you for taking care

[jon00]

Devicevalue can only store integers. That is why many scripts/plugins multiply by results by 100 to get around this and why I put the dividevalue in to compensate for this.

Send me an email tomorrow. I would like to send you a new version that hopefully sorts out this issue.

Jon,

I am very sorry but this is not an "international setting bug", and, as explained above, multypling by 100 is the way to go.
This is also perfectly explained in your instruction pdf.
I never realized that my temperatures where rounded when stored in a device value, as I only use these values after rounding them, for image selection by example.
I swear I will read the instructions and every single message of this board before posting next time.

Thanks
Pierre

What exactly are you writing in french for maximum & minimum?

Does it work if you don't add the language words?

[MichelG]

[jon00]

I've just looked at the code and the error has nothing to do with the language but rather there is something wrong the data you are providing it with.

Can you post your ini file so I can take a look.

[MichelG]

Ok Jon

In attachment my ini file

Jon

I rewrite my ini file, and now all is ok.
Thanks

I was going to say, it is in a bit of a mess!

Nice job on the virtual graphing!

Jon,

In your documentation/package for setting this up, you might want to include a sample vbs script that puts it all together for the "programmingly challenged" Something like the following, called jon00vdGraphing.vbs will help people understand how to get a 'device value' out of an existing device into your ini.

sub main

    hs.SaveINISetting "Graph1","Data",hs.devicevaluebyname("Garage Freezer Temperature"),"Jon00VDGraphing.ini"
    hs.SaveINISetting "Graph2","Data",hs.devicevaluebyname("Garage Small Freezer Temperature"),"Jon00VDGraphing.ini"

    hs.runex "jon00vdGraphing.vben","Main","1|2"

end sub

Question: Can i change the Location value of the newly created virtual devices or are you keying off this value in your .vben code?

thanks

[jon00]

Thanks!

Obviously if you use devicevaluebyname then you would need to do as you suggested but surely it is much easier to just use the device value of the house code?

i.e. if Garage Freezer Temperature had a house code of t78

Within the INI file for that Graph, you would use:

Data=$DV:t78

As for the location value, yes it can be changed to anything you wish.

[mnsandler]

Data=$DV:t78

Well, that sure is easier. I guess I didn't read far enough into the docs

I was under the impression that I was responsible for putting the value in the data key, guess not.

Thanks

Thanks

Let's face it. Who reads the instructions when we buy a new toy! It's only when we can't get something to work that it's read! Obviously I gave too many options

[mnsandler]

how do you reset a graph

in other words, i want to erase the chart in the image?
