Looks awesome!

Does it still run on 8.4? I need the Input module of 8.4 as I use it for decoding the solar stuff which of course limits my upgrade possibility.

Does it require Redis to work? I have hosted Emon on a 24 core Windows Server running an Apache server just for Emon. 

Thanks and good work!

Thanks! I dont think it will work with 8.4 as I did quite a bit of work to the way data is requested in 8.5 in order to make sure that the data returned was for the right interval which without this the daily data would quite likely be incorrect. It should be redis independent although I have only tested it on the emonpi and emonbase which has redis.

Why cant you upgrade to 8.5? whats missing in the 8.5 input module?

Ah ok, just living with the "Never touch a running system" attitude, haha :-)

Maybe I'm doing something wrong but it was not working anymore when I tried it on my server. I made a copy of the 8.4 DB and of the data folders and configured everything. I then downloaded the Node module from GIT and added it. I then changed the code of my solar "nodes" to use the new URL but they were not showing any data...
Get into the admin menu and did the DB update etc.

I will retry it later again. I also made some changes to the dashboard code itself to make my life a little bit easier when creating dashboards. 

fair enough, dont want this to disrupt a running system!

Nice work Trystan, tried it on 'v8.6 experimental' using a variety of devices, and it renders well across most common screen sizes. The graph data also looks much more clearly defined and detailed, is it using a thinner graph border?

There has been a long standing annoying bug with the 'app' for several months, which is also present in this new version, and it concerns menus when using emoncms on a tablet or phone (Its ok on a lap/desktop).
When switching between dashboards using the menus, the expanded menu collapses after a selection has been made, but not so when switching between one 'app' function and another 'app' function. For example, you're currently on the 'My Electric' page, and using the menu decide to switch to 'My Solar', but although the 'My Solar' app loads ok, the menu is still expanded and does not automatically collapse as per the screen shot below. I've tried it on a ipad, 8" android tablet, iphone & HTC smartphone, so it's not just on one device.

Thanks, great to hear Paul, found the fix for the dropdown issue, the changes needed are in this commit: https://github.com/emoncms/emoncms/commit/31069454a7403e13f85a16057f2141...

Thanks Trystan, the apps are starting to consolidate their place in emoncms, with buckets of potential still left...

Paul

Trystan,

The dropdown part of app_menu.php needs to be in this format (also dont pass apikey in path) :

array('name' => 'My Solar&Wind', 'icon' => 'icon-asterisk',
      'path' => 'app/myenergy', 'session' => 'read', 'order' => 4)

Not:

array("My Solar&Wind","app$apikey#myenergy")

I have a workaround for this since 8.5 in menu_view.php but will be removed to support icons and current page highlight.

Choose your icon name here http://getbootstrap.com/2.3.2/base-css.html#icons

As oem apps will inevitably have sustainability in their heart, can I suggest the 'icon-leaf'?

Paul

Great idea, really like the icon design. I will add this in.

Probably need to start thinking about other modules too...

Hi can anyone explain why the time scale across the bottom of this app is a day out of sync for me? For example today is Friday yet as you will see from the attached screen shot taken from my ipad the Friday total generation bar is complete and Saturday is building.

Thanks.

Edit resized pic and munged apikey - BT

Thanks for the edit!

Update - now that I have managed to get my data uploading to emoncms.org where this day error doesn't seem to be occurring this is no longer an issue for me.

What version of emoncms are you using?

low write v8.5
