Graphs auto-scaled to 100 percent?

Every graph I have seen posted has zero at the bottom, 50 at the middle, and 100 at the top, regardless of what the person is actually using.

It appears that the graphs may be auto scaling to 0 to 100 percent of some value that will get all the dots on the page.

Mine does NOT correspond to dividing by 1000!

Again, check auto-scaling the graphs, Rich (or Rick).

Thanks,

Rick,

I have attached a jpg with two know large electrical draws. There is a spike on the graph at an indicated ~1030, this was the stove going on at ~1623, the second spike at the indicated ~1200 was the water heater being turned on manually at ~1800. Perhaps this could be an installation anomoly? Maybe it gets better once it rolls through its first midnight?

X-Axes

Watching the Today vs. Yesterday chart, it appears as if the chart is meant to update with a new value every 12 minutes, this would provide 10 data points every two hours, e.g. 00:00, 00:12, 00:24, 00:36, 00:48, 01:00, 01:12, 01:24, 01:36, 01:48. This should yield 120 data points per day.

I zoomed in on a chart and it appears as if there are 12-13 points (hard to see) every two hours based on the existing hash marks. If true, this would exhaust all the (assumed) 120 data points before 2400 as we have seen.

Best Regards,

Mark

How are you uploading to Google Powermeter? If you have an app on the PC that is reading the data from the Envi using its one USB adapter, then that is why there is a problem because two apps cannot open the same COM/USB port.

I am using the app from the CurrentCost website to upload to my registered Google Powermeter account.

http://www.currentcost.net/Installat...%20%283%29.pdf

Is there no way to have BOTH the HS graphs and the Google Powermeter?

Default rate.

I've just installed this without issue except for one.
It always wants to use the default rate of .13. I've created another table with my current rate of .07, but can't seem to get the plugin to use it.

Have I missed something?

Incidently, the plugin runs fine with Firedaemon running as a service.

I noticed this as well, and ended up editing the currentcost.ini to choose the name of my newly created table as the default table for the moment. This then picked up my new pricing. The Web page does not seem to change the ini file when you create a new table.

cheers,
Phil

Phil,

Mine updated the ini file as seen here. But you can't seem to specify the table to use. I thought about deleting my table then doing a global replace on the Default table - though I thought I'd ask here first.

Gee I just found that if I specify Current=Manotick in the ini file, it uses my new rate table... A small quirk I guess

Rob

[outbackrob]

That worked!

Same thing here. Had to restart HS to get it to do that though. But now Energy Cost Per KWH($) is correct!

Anyone know where the default value of .13 is located? It should really be in the ini.

OBR

[pogle]

I was able to change the default rate using the edit function on the rate page. You need to be sure the dates for the edited rate are all checked.

[fbitz777]

To get the graphs working you need designer 1.0.0.44 (just run your designer to get the update), and the latest Server plugin 1.0.0.21 which is here:

ftp://ftp.homeseer.com/pub/HomeSeerP...h_1_0_0_21.msi

You then need the version 1.11 of the iphone client.

I have all the latest software and just updated to 1.14 on iphone and
STILL can't get ENVI graphs to show..same on HStouchPad 1.14

[flaplante]

The updater says I am running 1.0.0.4 and that 1.0.0.31 is available.

After downloading and installation, setup/interfaces still says I am using 1.0.0.4

Am I misunderstanding something.

I have the plugin running on a Hometroller model 1. with latest HomeSeer versions.

Did you restart HomeSeer to complete the installation?
Is the plug-in enabled in your system?

[flaplante]

Oh yes, I restarted it as instructed on updater screen and in the log.

In fact this is the second time I have tried the download, once yestrday and again this morning. Same results both times.

The plug in seems to be running just fine, and has been for a few days now.

I had thought that perhaps I mis-understood the version numbering and 1.0.0.4 was actually 1.0.0.40 which might have explained things.

Fred

[Rick Tinker]

Check the log to see what is happening - either the download is failing, or the subsequent installation after the restart is failing.

When you go to the Interfaces tab of the Setup screens, it lists all of the plug-ins and their currently installed version there.

[flaplante]

Here is what the log says:

the interfaces list confirms that 1.0.0.4 is installed.

Also if I go to the updater it also says that 1.0.0.4 is installed.

There are no error messages durring download. Nor are there any in the log at that time; It simply ays download completed, restart HomeSeer to complet installation.

A quick check with the windows explorer shows the file specified in the above log entry to be present (with the proper 1.0.0.31 suffix on the folder name!)
