Vera and HighCharts on a Synology NAS

Developer's Corner General Dev Discussions

I was not all happy with the Datamine / Datayours plugin. I think it was not flexible enough for showing different times and presenting the charts.
That’s why I was thinking of getting all the data I wanted into another format so I could use it with any other (freeware) charting software.
It happens I own a Synology NAS, with a lot of possibilities like MYSQL, PHP, Webserver, …
I found a freeware charting software to use. Highcharts.
After a few days struggling with Highcharts it showed a lot of flexibility building the charts. In the example I use a linechart with panning/zooming. But with a few variable changes it can be made into a 3D chart. Almost everything is possible…

I just wanted to share this, maybe there are more people with the combination of a Vera / NAS.
In the attachment I explain step by step creating a chart.
Hope some more people will enjoy this.

Nice!

Currently I am also working on something like that.
I’m using the Dashing framework in combination with Highcharts to build my graphs. It pulls the JSON data via DataMine HTTP requests.
I am still working on additional graphs and dashboard, but the beginning is there.

Hi gent’s
I am very interested in the trending possibilities on a NAS and tried to install cifs as mentioned on the forum but got all kind of error messages. (below)
Today I have asked assistance from Tech support
Firmware is 1.7.583

I has problems like that initially (as did others). This thread worked for me in the end: [url=http://forum.micasaverde.com/index.php/topic,30227.0/topicseen.html]http://forum.micasaverde.com/index.php/topic,30227.0/topicseen.html[/url].

I seem to need “sec=ntlm” in my mount requests as shown below:
[tt]
mount -t cifs //172.16.42.100/DATAMINE /nas -o user=XXX,pass=YYY,sec=ntlm
[/tt]

@akbooer
Thanks for the fast reply.
I did see the post’s and your experience.
However apparently I do not reach the usage of cifs
After the mount command I get a message cifs not supported

root@MiOS_30104375:/# mount -t cifs //192.168.178.32/VeraData /VeraData -o user=XXX,pass=YYY,sec=ntlm
mount error: cifs filesystem not supported by the system
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g.man mount.cifs)
mount: mounting //192.168.178.32/VeraData on /VeraData failed: No such device

During the installation process there are corruption messages
