Feels like i’m spamming you with feature requests here Chris…
I’m planning on setting up a couple of android-pads on the walls here… and I will expose the vital house info on them (using an simple webpage with ajax requests composing data from from various sources).
It would be really nice if I could reuse/expose your nice graphs (house consumption initially) somehow in an iframe or fetching the datamine-generated-svg or something similar.
Do you think this is doable somehow? Just ask and I’ll help with development if necessary!
I think that raising my familys awareness of consumption of various stuff here at home would really make a difference…
This is the original intent of the short graph name that I had in the “save graph” dialogue. I removed it recently(ish) as I’d not implemented this, however the idea was that you could go to /dm/saved_graph.html and get a full window with just that graph. I ran into a few problems with implementing this in a flexible way so haven’t looked at it for a while.
The idea is it would reuse as much of the DM interface script as possible, but also be a lot lighter - ie no configuration, and ideally not using the extjs library which is quite heavy - I think it should be just the graph library, and jquery. This would make it quicker to load on iphones etc.
It’s actually not a lot of work (I think!) - the issue is getting the structure right so that I don’t have to maintain two source bases.
Let me have a think about it while I’m building my decking over the weekend (I’ll need something to think about other than decking boards!).
Ah so that explains why I couldn’t get to the short graph name.
I’ve been looking at buying a cheapo android tablet to control some of the lights. When I saw the saved graphs I thought the same thing - graph the data to show energy use.
Although this has since morphed into a Heater/temperature page with set-point control and graphs of current temperatures.
This has got my vote.
This feature is available in the last version or two of dataMine. The manual explains how to set this up, so take a look there, and if there’s any problems let me know.
