resol-vbus-logger.rs

A Rust application that uses the resol-vbus.rs library to log and visualize RESOL VBus data.

Features

• Connected either to a serial port or VBus-over-TCP device
• Writes data to CSV file at configurable intervals
• Renders a PNG containing data at configurable intervals

First-time setup

# Change to the directory where the project should be stored
cd <path to directory>

# Clone the project
git clone https://github.com/danielwippermann/resol-vbus-logger.rs

# Change into the project directory
cd resol-vbus-logger.rs

# Copy the `config.toml.example` to `config.toml`
cp config.toml.example config.toml

# Edit the `config.toml`

Usage

# Change to the project directory
cd <path to directory>/resol-vbus-logger.rs

# Run the application from the folder where the `config.toml` is located.
cargo run
# or
cargo build
target/debug/logger

# To run the application with debug output, just run
cargo build
RUST_LOG=debug target/debug/logger

Using the SQLite logger in tabular mode

The SQLite logger needs some manual setup to work in tabular mode.

• Make sure the SQLite is disabled by setting sqlite_tick_interval to 0
• Start the resol-vbus-logger in debug mode:

  $ RUST_LOG=debug target/debug/logger

• The tool will start the "packet settling" phase. In that phase it tries to identify, which packets are transmitted over the VBus. At the end of the process, a list of packets and packet field IDs is printed:

  ...
  [2022-05-07T05:00:39Z DEBUG logger] Received new packet, need to resettle...
  [2022-05-07T05:00:39Z DEBUG logger] Received new packet, need to resettle...
  [2022-05-07T05:00:40Z DEBUG logger] Settling: 1 / 6 -> 16.67%
  [2022-05-07T05:00:40Z DEBUG logger] Settling: 2 / 6 -> 33.33%
  [2022-05-07T05:00:41Z DEBUG logger] Settling: 3 / 6 -> 50.00%
  [2022-05-07T05:00:41Z DEBUG logger] Settling: 4 / 6 -> 66.67%
  [2022-05-07T05:00:42Z DEBUG logger] Settling: 5 / 6 -> 83.33%
  [2022-05-07T05:00:42Z DEBUG logger] Settling: 6 / 6 -> 100.00%
  [2022-05-07T05:00:43Z DEBUG logger] Settled ["00_0010_7E11_10_0100", "00_6651_7E11_10_0200"]
  [2022-05-07T05:00:43Z DEBUG logger]   - 00_0010_7E11_10_0100_000_2_0: DeltaSol MX [Regler]: Temperatur Sensor 1
  [2022-05-07T05:00:43Z DEBUG logger]   - 00_0010_7E11_10_0100_002_2_0: DeltaSol MX [Regler]: Temperatur Sensor 2
  [2022-05-07T05:00:43Z DEBUG logger]   - 00_0010_7E11_10_0100_004_2_0: DeltaSol MX [Regler]: Temperatur Sensor 3

• You can stop the logger after getting the output above
• Open the config.toml file and transfer all packet field IDs you are interested in into the sqlite_fields array
• Make sure that the sqlite_statement matches your sqlite_fields entries:
  • The amount of columns in the first set of parentheses must match the amount of sqlite_field entries
  • The amount of question marks in the second set of parentheses must match the amout of sqlite_field entries
• Enable SQLite logging by setting sqlite_tick_interval to a value greater than 0
• Save the config.toml
• Open the SQLite file references in the sqlite_filename configuration value
• Create a table that matches your sqlite_statement, e.g.

  CREATE TABLE data(id ROWID, time TEXT, temp1 REAL, temp2 REAL, temp3 REAL, temp4 REAL, temp5 REAL, temp6 REAL, pump1 REAL, pump2 REAL, pump3 REAL, heat REAL);

• Start the logger again (does not have to be in debug mode, but might be helpful)
• Wait for the SQLite database to fill
