Rolling Charts #38

Closed dolszews89 closed 5 years ago

dolszews89 commented 5 years ago

I am looking to generate a rolling chart that I can add to my Raspi-Sump webpage, something in the range of a 4 hour window. Has anyone here attempted to do this previously? I've look into modifying the current "rsumpwebchart.py" code and the "webchart" backend is currently a bit above my skill level. I just wanted to check if anyone has done this before I jump in!

@dolszews89

Check out this fork -- I have modified the page.. it's not rolling but I think its quick and easy to use:

Also, I have a modified script that feeds into ThingSpeak -- see my public feed here:

I have a widget install on my cellphone that reads right from Thingspeak so I have real-time data on my mobile if you will..... Screenshot_2019-05-01-17-11-22

so you always want to show a chart of the last four hours only?

dolszews89 commented 5 years ago

@spankurmonkey Thanks for the reply. I like the widget idea. I'll take a look at your fork.

@alaudet Yes, but 4 hours was just an idea. Ideally, I guess, it could be any amount of time user configurable (2,4,6 hours, etc.). We had a lot of HEAVY rain last night and my pump has been cycling like crazy which made the normal graph hard to read (see graph). (Fun note: the flat line was my pump running non-stop because of the amount of water flowing into my basin matched what my pump could output. I though my detector was faulting).

today

That's what I was think of doing, if you could offer any advice I would greatly appreciate it. I'm not too familiar with Python so this will be an educational adventure!

Edit: I’m thinking it would be easiest to reset the graph to the current day, instead of referencing two days worth of CSV files when rolling over to a new day.

Your pump is working as hard as mine these days. Charts could use some attention for sure. I have had requests to be able to chart multiple CSV files, make them look different, all kinds of things. I have some ideas for charting but all that is lacking is time to work on it.

For a rolling chart I would see simply giving the option when running the chart script to tell it how many readings it should graph. It's do-able but I really don't know when I will be able to get to it. I will enter it as a feature request in the tracker, but that doesn't mean I can get to it quickly.

Closing this issue and rolling it into issue # 39 for a overhaul of chart reporting capabilities.
