    HSTouch charts?

    I see there are other threads about charting problems, but I think mine are different. I also think there is an error in the hs help file. Here is the excerpt.

    HSTouch
    To display data in HSTouch, use the HomeSee Device Association and select a Current Cost device.

    To display graphs in HSTouch add an image element and set the ImageURL property to the following:
    Day vs Yesterday: [$SCRIPT=&hs.plugin(""Current Cost"").ChartDayVSYesterdayUrl(0,now,500,100)]
    Day: [$SCRIPT=&hs.plugin(""Current Cost"").ChartDayUrl(0,now,500,100)]
    Month: [$SCRIPT=&hs.plugin(""Current Cost"").ChartMonthUrl(0,now,500,100)]
    Month vs Last Month: [$SCRIPT=&hs.plugin(""Current Cost"").ChartMonthVSLastMonthUrl(0,now,500,100)]
    Last Hour: [$SCRIPT=&hs.plugin(""Current Cost"").ChartLastHourUrl(0,500,100)]

    Replace 0 with the sensor to chart (10=All 'Sensors To Add' sensors), replace ""now"" with an actual date for different days (must be mm/dd/yyyy format), replace 500 with the width of your chart and replace 100 with the height of your chart.
    I found not give any of these to work. I did find what I think is an error. I removed the extra " marks around Current Cost in the statement and now my Last Hour chart works. However, none of the other charts show any data. Today and Today vs Yesterday do not even show a chart. Month and Month vs. Last Month show the chart but no data.

    Since the help file was wrong, I want to make sure its not something simple like that. Any help is appreciated.

      Thanks Rupp. I don't know that it's a bug though.

          Was this resolved? The idea of having graphs on my touchscreen sounds cool...

            What I tend to do is when going to a page, just run an event. I don't like using [$Script] since it seems to be something you need to use sparingly due to processor loading, since it is re-executed over and over.

            Then on the client, I only need to point to an image, served from HS itself.

            Tasker, to a person who does Homeautomation...is like walking up to a Crack Treatment facility with a truck full of 3lb bags of crack. Then for each person that walks in and out smack them in the face with an open bag.

              I think some clarifcation on these [$SCRIPT] commands would be nice, full credit to HST for giving us this option as I then used it in a number of plugins but I don't know how it is actually performing.

              When I used a [$SCRIPT=&Rnd()] command then every second it would give me a random number in the box, but if I did a [$SCRIPT=&hs.plugin(xxxxxxxx)] call then it only seemed to run once. Checking the debug logs only showed the download of the image done once which I thought meant that the procedure was just called on page load. If they ran every second for plugin calls I would imagine there could be issues with HS - so do some [$SCRIPT calls run at different intervals?

              Because the command only returns a URL you can also use a simple script to download the image to your html directory, then in HSTouch you just need to put 'http://localhostort/image.png' in the text field. This is sort of script I am talking about...

              Code:
              Dim Full As String = hs.plugin(""Current Cost"").ChartLastHourUrl(0,500,100)
              
              Act = Full.Replace("http://chart.apis.google.com", "")
              
              Result = hs.getURLImageEx("http://chart.apis.google.com", Act, hs.getapppath & "\html\images\cheat.png", 80)
              
              If Result <> "" Then
              
              hs.writelog("D/Image", "Image Error: " & Result)
              
              End If
