disabling but NOT deleting plotD devices

Hi Karl...

plugin working awesome...

I am using ghostXML to pull data from an Autelis device for my pool.
now that summer is done, I have disabled the ghostxml devices and in turn this is causing a number of errors messages with INDIGOplotD. see below...

my question...
how do I get indigoplotD to ignore the PLOT devices related to my pool that are dependant on ghostXML. I don't want to delete the devices as I would just have to set them up again in the spring. I just want INDIGOplotD to IGNORE them for now.

I have tried disabling communication to those plot devices, but that doesn't seem to work. Is there another way?

I could disable INDIGOplotD, but I am using it for other plots that are still active.

Thanx

dave

Will check it tomorrow.

as I understand this: the device state "temp_pooltemp" does not exist in the device for some period of time.; then you like to re instate it later.

Now plotD complains that it does not find the state "temp_pooltemp" which is correct .

BUT ALSO INDIGO has deleted all references to that state in the sql database... when it will reappear later it will only have the data from when it was reinstated.

Do you just want to not plot that specific line? indigoPlotD does many things before it plots the line: it reads the current device[state] and adds it to the internal db. that process will always fail, as it will not find that device[state]

With current capabilities you would need to remove that device[state] from indigoplotD data source (in define /select datasource ...)

one way to keep the formatting etc: look at the indigoplotd/py directory. there you will find back up files that will restore all configs of the date it was created.

if you know some python you could select the section for that device and plot and save it and run it in an action window when you reinstate the device[state]

eg

Code: Select all

plug = indigo.server.getPlugin("com.karlwachs.INDIGOplotD")
if not plug.isEnabled(): return   #### INDIGOplotD must be enabled, otherwise nothing here works

will recreate a plot with its lines


But anyway .. i could add an exception handler, that makes it 0 if the state is not there anymore, but need to think about the consequences of that, normally if a device state does not exist that is an error and the user should know about it .

Thanx Karl...

Think what im going to try is the backup and restore of the config settings.

I have manually backed up my current profile (summer). Then removed the offending data sources and backed up the profile again (winter).

So as long as i dont make any changes until spring, i should just be able to restore the summer config and be good to go.

Thanx for the help
