Excellent. Glad to hear it. I'll release an update this weekend to bring everyone up to v1.11.

The totals are based on the literal months. The test is if the month is not the same as yesterday's month.
CraigM wrote:2) I like to view historical data for comparison. Assuming literal months, then on Oct 31 we will see Oct total min, but the next day Nov 1, we will see zero.
The issue is where to simply store the data... I am looking to extend this, and generate emailed reports....
But I certainly welcome suggestions....

2013 AC MINUTES
Jan (20)
Feb (17)
Mar (5)
Once again, it becomes, how many states is safe for a device to store? Or for someone to be able to view?
The STATE GUI in Indigo only allows you to see 4-5 states, and doesn't dynamic resize, so it's possible to not be able to read the contents of a state....
While it is possible to send data to the web process, it's one way communication.... So I could pickle the thermostat data, and have IWS display it.... But the real answer is for IWS to be able to communicate with Indigo server.... But I have no idea on the time frame for it...
So I'm not sure the best way to display the data.... It's a catch-22....
CraigM wrote:3) What exactly needed to be added that now makes my plugin work? I thought everyone [except those who own the integrated Venstar] are using a 2441v. The reason I ask is that I'm planning to purchase another stat in the near future. So if I choose another Venstar T1800 w/ 2441v will it need to also be added to your plugin code?
Unless there's a different model of thermostat, we should be good... I needed to find the model for the plugin, since it ignores all devices, except for the registered ("Known") thermostat models...
CraigM wrote:4) Will we ever be able to display data in graph form, like your old script?
I will be looking into this, but I have to find a better way to generate the graph. Google Charts is quite limiting, and it is possible to exceed the allowed data going to Google Charts....
