Matplotlib Plugin for Indigo 7 - New!

I write out the info as a Json and the external py program continuously reads that json ( every 10 secs) and if anything new : make new plots

At the risk of over reporting

If I use a Scatter Chart and select Pixel for entries then I get the following Critical Error on trying to Redraw Graph

Code: Select all

   Matplotlib Critical Error       Chart - Test - scatter: Check path to CSV file (Unrecognized marker style PIX)
   Matplotlib Critical Error       ValueError: ordinal must be >= 1

Not at all! This is is a great find; I'm surprised it's taken this long to surface. I've found and repaired the bug and the fix will be available in the next version. Until I upload the new version, this bug will affect Pixel, Triangle Left, and Triangle Right marker styles for scatter charts only.

By the way discovering some really useful info on power usage around the house and how to reduce it.

Nice. Glad to hear that you're finding the plugin useful!

Thanks Karl.

Now feel free to say if I am getting greedy/over ambitious.

The historical data graphing is great and allows for some very useful analysis, loving what i can do with it.

But, is there a way I can also just capture the last 3 or 5 readings and create a very small little graph to indicate trend - i.e.

20 º C / or 20 º C\ or 20 º C -- for trending up, down or staying static

So instead of the / , \ -- actually have a small graph with the trend.

This could then be inserted into overview Control Page

I have tried creating a second CSV Engine with just retain last 5 entries but not sure how to plug into it, if you can.

Not greedy at all, but it's getting a bit wide of the original intent of the plugin (to create simple, uniform graphical charts for control pages). Probably the simplest approach to create what you're after is to create the CSV data outside the plugin and save that data to the same folder that the plugin uses. In that way, the "smaller" CSV files will be available within the plugin for charting just like the rest. I hope that makes sense!

I'll add a TODO list item to consider ways to make variable CSV data file lengths or user settings to vary the number of observations shown.

Please keep the ideas and bug reports coming. I really do appreciate it.

Makes sense

At the moment I am using the graphs as interim diagnostic tools to identify energy usage around the house and look closer at things that are draining a disproportionate amount of energy on standby.

i.e. swapped out a 42" TV that was using 200W in use and 40W in standby with a 32" TV that uses 41W in use and 5W in standby - as it is the screen I just have a fake fire burning in the fireplace managed to make a significant dent in it's running costs.

Actually the fake fire really makes you feel much warmer - the warm glows and gentle crackle in the background has a real affect.

Since putting it in the thermostat is set permanently to 19.5 C for the house and no longer keeps getting turned up when I am not looking

That's great! I'm glad the plugin is helping you to save some money. It's too hard to come by.

Still unable to find why it is complaining.

The only thing I can think of is the two TFA remote temp sensors. They need 'tweaking' by the Adapters Plugin to get the temperature right.

They are configured as 'Custom Formula Adapter (numeric result)

The csv, above, looks ok

Hi Busta999 - sorry that you're having trouble. Unless I'm mistaken, I haven't made a change to that part of the code in a long time. The error you're seeing is because there appears to be something amiss in the CSV Engine definition for one or two of your devices. Please do me a favor and run the following code in an Indigo script window (or via the Indigo scripting shell) and post the result.

Code: Select all

dev = indigo.devices[CSV Engine Device ID Goes Here]
indigo.server.log(unicode(dev))

Be sure to enter the ID of your CSV Engine device in the code above.

I believe that the issue is definitions 'k10' and 'k11' which don't have valid entries. When you look at the CSV Engine device configuration, do you see something like this (showing blank lines)?

If so, go to the Edit Data Item panel in the CSV Engine, click each blank line in turn, and click Delete Item--and then Save. This *should* clear those errors. I'll add some additional safety checks to the code to help keep this type of thing from happening in the future.

Please let me know how you get on.

That was it!!!

But not to indicate a blank one just two blank spaces that I had not noticed.

Many thanks for all your help.

This allowed me to track a 2 year old Fridge in Extra Eco mode which as using way too much power.

Bought a new fridge that will cost £100 a year less to run and is bigger!!

I'm glad that solved it. I will definitely do some work to tighten that up so that it won't happen going forward (and probably add some internal logic to automatically delete these empty entries).

I'm also glad that the plugin helped you to find a way to save some money. I'm hearing more and more stories like that, which is fantastic. Maybe I should start charging a commission!

Thanks for the update 0.4.03 and the six notifications in 3 hours reminding me of it.

Boy, are you keen for people to upgrade

Thanks for the update 0.4.03 and the six notifications in 3 hours reminding me of it.

Heh, sorry about that. It's likely due to the memory leak issue in Matplotlib. If you have a chance, please take a look at the log and see if there were plugin restarts around that time. The notifier should only run once until the next version is released, but this requires saving some information to Indigo about the last notification. If that's not saved successfully, it will repeat--as you found out.

I'll address the restarts before pulling the plugin out of beta.
