jmhdz / currentcostgui Goto Github PK

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Download Once -> download via serial port
2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected to see graphed data, I see no graphs. My cc128 has been running 
for a number of weeks now and from the display looks like it is recording 
data fine.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
CC128 with 0.9.28 of the software, just downloaded and re-installed to see 
if that would help but no improvement.


Please provide any additional information below.

The trends tab shows some data but none of the other tabs show any data. 
Trends tab is giving me a lowest and highest usage as well as when I 
typically use the most electricity. It also says my usage has remained 
consistent for the last 9 months. The download of data seems to proceed 
fine.

The temperature data from the CC128 is very useful, it would be good if 
currentcostgui could download this, show it in all of the graphs and export 
it in the CSV files.

[deleted issue]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Running the currentcostgui, requesting real-time data
2. I am using an older Prolific v 2.0.2.1 driver
3. With the very latest Prolific v130 driver I get Error Code 10 and
yellow exclamation  mark against the Prolific PL2303 USB to Serial Com port 8.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Error message = Serial Exception: could not open port 8 (2,'The system cannot 
find the file specified)

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Version downlaoded today 24th Sep 2010, Windows XP SP3

Please provide any additional information below.
Is there a different recommended driver?

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Show Live Data
2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
A graph with a red data line. 
A graph is shown with changing axes but no data (red) line.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
0.9.29

Please provide any additional information below.
0.9.28b works just fine.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Connected up CC128 Meter
2. Downloaded Code from here
3. Set-Up web account and asked for Users data

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Saw a error reporting dialogue box with the following written in it:

Using the latest HEAD to test the import script i get this, both with a new or 
old database file:

On both 'currentcost-source-0.9.30.zip' and svn (r195) 'currentcost.py' is not

This causes problems with wxWidgets.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Reading realtime data from Classic or new CC128 model

All version of the app with the "Live Data" up to the current release have 
produced this error some time after I have left it running.

The connection is direct on my Micorosft Windows Home Server.

Regards

Ian.

As you know the CC128 supports 9 "appliance" sensors as well as the main
"house" sensor.

In our office we have two meters (don't ask), and CurrentCost advised us to
set it up as follows: one transmitter for meter 1 going into the "house"
sensor, and one transmitter for meter 2 going into the "appliance 1" sensor.

So we want to analyse the combined output of both sensors, both in the
currentcostgui app and in Excel via the CSV export.

To help you out I've attached an XML dump. It's pretty easy to recognise
which sensor each reading belongs to!

I have Classic Cost Monitor but I am unable to download information from 
it to CurrentCost GUI. My computer is running XP3.

When I try to connect via COM1 I get a message "waiting for data from 
current cost meter 1 update remaining"  My computer then hangs and also 
the information on the Cost Monitor goes blank.

I see a similar problem was posted about the new CC128 Monitor but the 
solution given only made my problem worse....I had to pair the Transmitter 
and Monitor again and start again!

On my first connecion using .19a I get connection, 3 bars on download meter
and then message "waiting for data from current cost meter 1 update
remaining"  After a short while i got an error message.
I then connected directly which worked, and then supply demand which
worked, then tried direct connect and it worked perfectly.  Restarted app
and it seems to work now, will keep you updated.

In addition to Serial port and RSMB, can you add the ability to connect to
a tcp host:port.  This would help if the serial port is on a serial port
server, like ser2net.  There's no protocol, you just connect and the data
comes.

new install of currentcost, running source .py.  Have all pre-req.

however I tried miniterm and see clean data

In newer versions of the firmware, the xml version is higher than 0 and so the 
code
fails.

Here is a example of my output:

<msg><src>CC128-v1.30</src><dsb>00174</dsb><time>03:49:57</time><tmpr>25.7</tmpr
>
<sensor>1</sensor><id>03704</id><type>1</type><ch1><watts>00337</watts></ch1></m
sg>

attached is a small pacth to remove the v0.x  check for a more generic code.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Unzip the Windows package
2. Run the currentcost.exe
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I get a window coming up that tells me to check the error log. THe 
contents of the error log is:

Using 0.9.19a on WinXp SP2


Please provide any additional information below.

I downloaded the version 0.9.3 and I got this log when i run currentcost.exe so 
i cant execute it.

I tryed running as admin and with compability XP SP2 and more but nothing.

How can i solve it?

Thanks in advance!

I just try to download the history from the currentcost device (enviR usb)
but the import reports:
"Received 0 update with history data, 0 updatewith live (no history) data
xxx invalid updates"
and xxx increments every few seconds while the progress bar slowly increases 
(there's one month worth of data to retreive)

I'm using currentcost version 0.9.30 on windows 7 64 bits.
I got the usb drivers from currentcost website and their C2 terminal software 
shows the correct information (date, watt, temperature) using COM6

After restarting currentcost, and downloading history I get:
"Received 0 update with history data, xxx updatewith live (no history) data
0 invalid updates".
The "show live data" option also works, but there's definetely one month of 
data on the device, but i can only get the live data. 

Any idea on the issue? thanks

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Select Download History -> Download Once -> Download via serial port
2. COM6. Select OK
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Download of the CurrentCost data.
Serial Exception: could not open port om6: (2,'CreateFile', 'The system
cannot find the file specified.')

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
0.9.21. Windows XP

Please provide any additional information below.
I think a data file has got corrupted but I don't know how to find out
which one. I can still see all hourly, daily, monthly info etc.

Hi Dale

Great app, just a small issue the Average Day graph has a title of Average
Weekday.  Actually the code isn't using weekday it's actually using weekends

       for k, v in hourData.iteritems():
            if v > 0:
                if k.weekday() >= 5:
                    hoursCount[k.hour] += 1
                    hoursSum[k.hour] += v

While not being wrong, a week day and weekend version would be useful (or
quick title change of course).

Regards

Rob

Please provide any additional information below.
thid has hapend more often on update to lattest verssion

It would be useful for me to have a local file data.xml which containe dthe
last xml line.

This would be overwritten each update.
I'm considering altering currentcostserialconn.py readUpdate.

Is this something you would consider adding?
Even better would be a http server offering the lastest xml on a
configurable port.
