send input value, but not storing it to a database

Is there a way to send a input value to emoncms that won't be stored in the database.

i wan't to send several realtime temperatures to emoncms, these values don't neded to be stored in the database.

for storing the values i will send the values to a different input every 15 minutes or so.

the realtime values are send every 10 or 20 sec. so to prevent a large amount of data to the datase these realtime temp. should be stored.

 

how can i do this.

Only data that is subject to a "log to feed" is stored, andwhen you set up the feed, you can choose the timebase that the database uses. You cannot have 15 mins, you can have 10 or 20 mins.

oke, but when i send a value to an input, and afther that not sending this input to a feed. I can not display it.

in the dashboard you can only display feeds.

 

how can i work around that.

You do not need to send the data twice and there isn't anything to "work around" as Robert says you can select the interval at which the feed records its value

If you just continue to send your temperatures to emoncms every 10-20 secs and create a log to a feed with a time interval of 10 or 20mins for each one, I think that will do exactly what you are asking.

The live data will be available to display on your dashboards in dials and feedvalue boxes, updating every 10-20 secs, but the feed will only create a datapoint and save the value at that time to the database at your chosen interval ie 10 or 20 mins.
