Hi all
now that i figured how to setup the extended branch and get mysql running i wanted to add something more
i came across this one
http://openenergymonitor.blogspot.dk/2013/12/emoncms-control-development...
and i thought i could use a single button like that for my heating, right now it runs for 2 hours each morning and that is ok in most cases.
thou there are some times that i get up before there is hot water for a shower and i need to set the alarmclock 1 hour in advance, get up and turn heating on, then back to bed and sleep and then up like i planned
a simple button could work as i could then turn on the heating from the bed..
ideal a small box with on and off times and enable, i dont need a full week schedule with multiple periods a day since this is just for those rare days
like the demo said i tried to dump all the files in a folder under modules but that crippled every page in emoncms
have anybody tried like i want before?
i did manage to make a sketch for emontx v2 that are able to both collect data and control the hotwater via a relay, at least it compiles and the logic seems simple enough. just need to find the time to test it

Re: Packetgen and button on dashboard
no one done this before and can share how?
Re: Packetgen and button on dashboard

Re: Packetgen and button on dashboard
controlling a device with button-widget possible? --> packet-generator?
Re: Packetgen and button on dashboard
Hmm...
still a bit confusing to me... i get that i need to draw the botton on the dashboard and create a feed for it
but then i'm lost on how make the feed value send out the packet to the emonTX
i liked the youtube video trystan made for his boiler, but a more in depth desciption would have been nice
Re: Packetgen and button on dashboard
no rush...
the dials etc does not show up, even thou dashboard and feeds are set to public
EDIT: basicly this is what i want: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C4WGaiw7jyo
but with a bottom next to the cylinder on the dasboard so i can tell the OpenTRV unit to heat up on those rare cases where i need hot water at odd events
Re: Packetgen and button on dashboard
revisting this one again....
i read that other thread and it was only confusing to me
or maybe i understand it correct.... that zip contains the js file that is the widget right?
and that creates the button seen in the post made Thu, 08/01/2015 - 09:11
so i assume that this button just changes the feed value....
but how can i now change a value in the packet generator?
Re: Packetgen and button on dashboard
read this blog:
http://openenergymonitor.blogspot.dk/2013/12/emoncms-control-development...
i copied over the demo files and i got the myheating page... but that page never shows any of the buttons
EDIT: now the nest dial shows up... but since i have not figured how to change settings etc it reads NAN all over
i was hoping to see the simple button only
EDIT2: think i got it.... /emoncms/myheating/button is the link for the button... now i just need to get it to work :-P
EDIT: in packetgen i hit reload default packet and i can now change the button... but it does not change the value from false to true and vice versa
Re: Packetgen and button on dashboard
btw... will packetgen also find its way to V9 ?
