lightwaverf summarise and lightwaverf web exit with errors about lightwaverf HOT 14 CLOSED

I will check that for you after work... there is a cron job that runs that creates the summary file.

from lightwaverf.

in the docs i could only find the cron for creating the html

/usr/local/bin/lightwaverf web 5 > /var/www/lightwaverf.html

but the lightwaverf web would generate this (although in my case is empty of data. but the html structure is added), but the summarise function exits looking for a json file. - I will dig into this a bit more - thanks

from lightwaverf.

lightwave summarise is the job that should create the summary file. There must be an error. I must have changed the code to say "read in the old summary file first" but not handled the first running of this when there would be no summary file... I'll fix later today, thanks for reporting.

from lightwaverf.

I've checked this by deleting ~/lightwaverf-summary.json and then running

lightwaverf summarise 7

and I get no errors. I will try again running "summarise" when there is no existing data in lightwaverf.log

Do you have your energy monitor set up correctly? Is it reporting energy usage to the wifi link? Do you have a cron job in place to log the energy usage? My crontab has this

*/2 * * * * /usr/local/bin/lightwaverf energy > /tmp/energy.out 2>&1

my full crontab is

*/5 * * * * /usr/local/bin/lightwaverf summarise 7 true > /tmp/summarise.out 2>&1
59 * * * * /usr/local/bin/lightwaverf update_timers 60 1440 true > /tmp/update_timers.out 2>&1

perhaps its the gem I'm using ? 0.6.5 ? I'm on a mac by the way. So i am connected and there is energy data, lightwaverf energy does return data. The gem also works to turn on and off devices.

The issue seems to be the various json files, they don't exist and are not created.

I will try removing the gem and building it manually.

aha it is the lightwaverf-daily.json - I'll try removing mine tonight, debug it, and then post a fix

from lightwaverf.

I've released a new version of the gem, can you update and try again?
Thanks for being patient.

from lightwaverf.

Winner :) 0.6.6 gem works like a charm. Graphing energy Data now. Now i need to port it to ARM maybe package it up for my synology NAS, fantastic work - thanks !!

from lightwaverf.

tell your friends!

from lightwaverf.

Just as an FYI I managed to get it to work on my synology Nas, (ARM processor), the gem installed failed - which is due to the gcc / dev tools on the busy box build (i will look into this), but I cluged together a manual build, so it now works in the background on my NAS updating the local web server - sweet , ill test it on my pi build also.

if you could add the room control functions to the web page that would also be cool

from lightwaverf.

I did have the room control functions on there but moved it out to separate parts. https://github.com/pauly/robot-butler is the phone app, but is all html based so will work in any web browser. That requires https://github.com/pauly/lightwaverf-api which should be running on the box where you installed the gem...

I'll have a look later see if I can make it an option easily to put the controls back in that webpage.

from lightwaverf.

Cool thanks for following up - controlling everything from one page and the graph for me would be a great help, plus time hourly on the graph, as I use it to graph power every 5 min, ill check out the butler , as an Fyi using you gem and proximity (a free osx util that gives bluetooth status) I can now have my office wake up and shutdown when I walk in and walk away, check it out its pretty nice (https://code.google.com/p/reduxcomputing-proximity/).

from lightwaverf.

good to know about proximity I think someone suggested it before, not on iphone myself though... hmm only power up the surround sound if I am in the lounge, and keep the volume down low if I'm in bed!
