EventWatcher in UI7

Any UI7 issues?

I’ll add the latest documentation to this post asap.

The App Store version seems to run fine on an Edge with 1.7.906 with just minor issues:

It shows the default Z-Wave icon rather than yours.

The last reboot and restart times are missing.

It is necessary to hold down the Ctrl key when clicking on any of the links to get the report on a new tab. This is with Chrome 39.0.2171.99 m.

it looks like this in my Vera3 running UI7 (1.7.439):

version info : 2014.12.07 @akbooer

Yes, I’ve seen that before.

I THINK (but do not know for sure) that this is a UI7 error which is fixed in the firmwore on VeraEdge, but not in the lower version on Vera3/Lite.

Anyone know anything different?

Any way to get the EventWatcher data into Homewave over the Mios servers? I would love to have a page with the last tripped state of my security devices.

You don’t need EventWatcher in order to be able to do that. Here’s a screen shot of my Homewave Security page showing the last tripped times picked directly off the door sensors. I also have virtual switches which latch the tripped state until they are manually reset, so that I can also tell if the sensors have tripped since I last looked - even if the doors are shut again.

Thanks for the response akbooer. I had an older version of the Elk M1 driver installed, which did not support “last tripped” so it was not available. I upgraded the Elk driver and I now have that option.

Hi there - i’m looking for a very basic way to plot temperature values. Datamine wouldn’t work for me on UI7.

I got eventwatcher configured. Pretty much default settings except I modified the watch categories to include temperature. I now see temp as a watched variable. However, my plots are all blank for all the watched devices. What am I doing wrong?

http://192.168.0.170/port_3480/data_request?id=lr_EventWatcher&plot=6

Watched Device list:
Device No. Device Name Service Variable Room
4 InsteonPlugDimmer SwitchPower1 Status MainCottage
6 Embedded Temperatur TemperatureSensor1 CurrentTemperature MainCottage
7 Embedded Humidity S HumiditySensor1 CurrentLevel MainCottage

New temperature values are only sent to [tt]EventWatcher[/tt] when the temperature changes, or when a certainly threshold of change has been crossed - depending on the sensor configuration. If you’re in a relatively stable environment, it might be that this hasn’t happened yet. So wait.

Recall, also, that [tt]EventWatcher[/tt] only saves things in a memory cache since the last restart. If, perhaps, your Vera has restarted recently, or restarts often, then the history will be lost. You could write things out to a log file for a more permanent record, but then you couldn’t plot the results.

A more durable alternative would be [tt]DataYours[/tt], which is now available from the MiOS App Store, although other people seem to have got [tt]dataMine[/tt] running successfully on UI7.

Yeah it worked! Woke up this morning and had a nice pretty graph!!

Now i have an issue when accessing Vera over the internet. All the graphs/report links fail. WHen on local network it all works fine. How do i fix?

Excellent.

UI7 completely changes how this works. Under UI5 authentication information (username / password) could be passed in the URL along with the plot number, etc. Now, however, I believe this is done differently. I've only recently got a UI7 development machine and I haven't looked into this yet.

Ok - i’m anxious to hear how you make out on UI 7. I guess i’ll have to open a hole in the firewall to access Vera from outside. Makes me nervous but i’ll do it for now (i’m using it to monitor a remote cottage).

How do I change the time axis on the graph? Right now i’m only seeing last couple readings. Can I plot last 100 lets say?

It should plot all the readings in the memory cache, which is reset between restarts. So if you’ve recently restarted Luup, then there may only be a few readings. Also, if your cache length is relatively short (it is configurable) and you are logging lots of different devices, then there may only be a few measurements in the cache.

For long-time archival and plotting of sensor measurements, take a look at [tt]DataYours[/tt] instead.

I’m a newbie and couldn’t really get DataYours to work in UI 7 so I abandoned ship.

I bumped up the cache to 8000 to see how much it will capture. Going to leave it on for a couple days. Thanks for everything.

You tried the App Store release??

I was actually in here to try to get an answer to where the addon configs are held and how to get rid of configs for removed addons. The reason is that my logs were riddled with “FileUtils::ReadURL 7/resp:0 user: pass: size 1 https://127.0.0.1/event/event/event” messages, and they occurred so often that the VeraLite would kneel and restart. The support staff says it’s EventWatcher setting this server address and after they “fixed” my config, it’s only changed “https://127.0.0.1/…” to “https:///…” - which really isn’t much of an improvement in my book :wink:

Do you know how come this might have happened?

[tt]EventWatcher[/tt] doesn’t, actually, ‘set the server address’, or anything like that. What it does do is open a socket on port 443 and listen for HTTPS messages.

Do you know how come this might have happened?
Nothing should be sending to that port [u]unless[/u] Vera has been sent the following HTTP request: [code] http://[your Vera IP]:3480/data_request?id=variableset&Variable=AltEventServer&Value=127.0.0.1 [/code] as per the instructions for enabling an Alternate Event Server hook in the wiki: [url=http://wiki.micasaverde.com/index.php/AlternateEventServer]http://wiki.micasaverde.com/index.php/AlternateEventServer[/url].

THAT action is allegedly reversed by this request:

http://[your Vera IP]:3480/data_request?id=variableset&Variable=AltEventServer&Value=

(You will need to reload the Luup engine for this to take effect.)

The alternate event server protocol has been significantly changed in UI7 and [tt]EventWatcher[/tt] does not respond correctly to the new HTTPS request. This may be the issue you are seeing with the logs. I suggest you try to disable this mode by using the request above, although it may be that this is what the support folk have already done… we will never know: they are not usually very forthcoming about such things.

What this all does tell us is that UI7 is still VERY chatty to the MiOS servers - something which I thought was supposed to be rectified in the latest firmware?

@akbooer: Thanks for the long reply! I don’t blame you for not understanding my initial statement. As you said yourself, the mios support team aren’t exactly sharing their knowledge or findings. I was under the impression that some part of your addon was left on the system even after uninstalling, but if I understand you correctly the command to log to an alternate location is part of the mios core.

In any case, I ran the command to turn it off and it initially looked good. Then, after a while, logging was so bad that the web output was lagging about 10 minutes after the tail I ran through ssh.

These are the lines in my log from just ONE second:

(sorry for the long paste, but…just wanted to illustrate how much is actually going into the logs. AFTER I ran the command to turn it off.

I edited out that first sentence out shortly after posting because I thought it might be misinterpreted, so thanks for taking that in the right spirit!

I was under the impression that some part of your addon was left on the system even after uninstalling, but if I understand you correctly the command to log to an alternate location is part of the mios core.
The only thing that generally gets left behind when you uninstall an app is the files themselves which do no harm other than taking up a tiny bit of space.
In any case, I ran the command to turn it off and it initially looked good. Then, after a while, logging was so bad that the web output was lagging about 10 minutes after the tail I ran through ssh.

These are the lines in my log from just ONE second:

I ran the same experiment myself - with the same result! Either that disable function is not implemented correctly in the Luup engine, or we have mistaken the instructions. I’ve tried the null address:

http://<MyVeraIP>:3480/data_request?id=variableset&Variable=AltEventServer&Value=0.0.0.0

and that certainly helps a lot, although I’m not sure that it’s better than the original 127.0.0.1.

I’m restructuring [tt]EventWatcher[/tt] as we speak to make it more modular (a la [tt]DataYours[/tt]) and address the UI7 specific issues, including how it behaves as an Alternate Event Server, which should fix all of this.

Of course, the real problem appears to be that you can’t turn off verbose logging - or at least that doesn’t work for me.
