Question Vera for historic usage

Other Devices & Integrations Power Management
1

Hi!

I have a VeraLite and some plugs from Everspring.

The thing is that I need to question VeraLite from an external app, written in Java (although that doesn’t really matters) to get Energy usage.

I know I can do a rest petition for the current consumption at myaddres/data_request?id=live_energy_usage&output_format=xml

What I want to know is if I can do a similar request to get the historic usage like the one seen in the Energy–> Usage screen

Thanks!

The historical data is stored on Micasaverde’s servers, not on the Vera.

I’m not aware of anyone reverse-engineering the HTTP calls that Vera evidently makes to display the historical data, so I recommend that if you want to keep history, do it yourself, either with dataMine or by polling the current usage and storing it into an external database.

Ok, thanks.

And is there any way to recover with REST petitions some system variables, like sysinfoJson or proxy_url??

Or at least a way to login a user or obtain the token…

On my own I do historic power usage using mrtg+rrdtool+routers2.cgi.

I use AEON HEM_3 but it can be done maybe with another power management systems…

Love the MRTG graphs! (I miss MRTG…) Can you give some insight into how you set it up? Did you install it on the Vera box, or are you running it remotely? How are you polling the data? Can these graphs be viewed remotely? (Something you can’t do with the dataMine graphs…)
