Hi
It would be great to be able to display a map of an OEM network in EmonCMS.
It will ease the management of an OEM network. I mean displaying a tree graph with :
- The EmonCMS server at the top with its main parameters : hardware, IP adress, EmonCMS version, ...
- Every EmonBase sending data to the EmonCMS server with its main parameters : hardware, IP adress, software version, ...
- Every Sensors sending data to the EmonBases : hardware, sketch name, node ID, calibration values, ...
Each item of this diagram will display a color (green, orange or red) according to its status (up and running, inactive for a long time, or down)
Right now, I have no time to develop this functionality. Moreover, I guess that it will also need some modifications in the software (EmonTX/TH sketch and Emonbase). So I am not anymore experienced to do it.
Anyway, I am interested in your opinion about this functionality. Is it worth doing it ? Did someone develop a similar functionality ? What should/could be displayed ? What should be modified in the sensors and Emonbase software ?
Thank's
Eric
Re: Be able to display a map of an OEM network in EmonCMS
Hello Eric, Nice idea! You could probably do a lot of it with the information currently available in emoncms such as the nodeid's, last update times for status. To get the basestation IP address this could be done from within emoncms with php $_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"] variable. Creating the map graphics and getting interactivity would probably be hardest part I imagine? It would be nice feature.

Hi Tristan,
Well, I have no time to dive into the EmonCMS code now.
I will try to implement that feature later but not in the coming weeks.
