Hi,
I'm refferring to the following example at Input Api Help page of Emoncms (http://localhost/emoncms/input/post.json?time=1395381734&node=1&csv=100,...),
It would be a great help if anybody can explain me the notation of the ''time=1395381734'' here I couldn't find any documentation about it.
Also when sending bulk data how do I set my very first data point to a specific time, basically in my case I set the device to send updates each 15 minutes and containing current values of each minute for previous 15 minutes.
Thanks.
Re: EMON CMS manual input entry time
It's the time as Unixtime or the number of seconds since 01 Jan 1970.
Re: EMON CMS manual input entry time
The time is a UNIX timestamp - you can go to i.e. http://www.onlineconversion.com/unix_time.htm to convert a regular date/time, or do it programatically with almost anything (that has an internal clock).
Re: EMON CMS manual input entry time
Hi, Thanks for the reply.. I have another question. Can I use the bulk input method with unix timestamp ?
Basically I want to use following format to send the data which containing first parameter as the unixtime.
http://localhost/emoncms/input/bulk.json?data=[[0,10,250,100,20],[2,12,1437,3164],[10,10,252,80,21]]
http://localhost/emoncms/input/bulk.json?data=[[<unix_time>,10,250,100,20],[<unix_time>,12,1437,3164],[<unix_time>,10,252,80,21]]
Thanks.
Re: EMON CMS manual input entry time
Why not test it in a browser?
you can use http://www.onlineconversion.com/unix_time.htm
to generate three values for unixtime in your example
and the cut and paste the entire address into your web browser..
one thing you will need to add is the APIKey you can find the APIKey on the api input help page in emoncms
