Data logging and visualisation?

On the ECM-1240 I previously used, there was a native Windows application that took the data feed, logged it to a database, provided graphing, etc.

The equivalent of this for the GEM? I found PHP7CI3 in the software downloads, but could not find any documentation. Or is the Dashbox the recommended solution? I have scripting and such capabilities, but I was looking for something more turnkey.


Thanks,

Allan.

EmonCMS/Grafana and BTMon.py is the suggested open source route nowadays.

BTMon.py is pretty easy to get running, it's available on GitHub.

https://github.com/matthewwall/mtools/b ... n/btmon.py

Over in the 3rd party software section you can browse the threads there for config examples:

It translates our packets into different formats.

Grafana is here:

https://grafana.com/

EmonCMS is here:

https://emoncms.org/

They're both visualization software, they connect up-to whatever you decide to data log to and then you define your own graphs.

Thx a lot for the details. I decided to go with the Dashbox for simplicity. Next post... :)


Thanks,
