We're getting a solar panel system installed next week and so I've been experimenting with different energy monitoring systems. I was going to use pvoutput.org but I really want something running on my home server that I can customize and expand (weather data, water and gas, usage, etc). I'm running the latest emoncms on a local ubuntu server and am experimenting with different data types, feeds, and displays. I recorded a days worth of data from our electric meter and imported that as two inputs (instantaneous energy usage and total kwH recorded on the meter).
When I try to experiment with different feeds, it seems like the feed will only process data that arrives after the feed is created so I have to keep re-importing my data when I'm doing my experiments. Is this the expected process? Is there any way to get a feed to run on the existing data in the input?
Thanks,
Ted
Re: New feed, existing input data not processed?
That is correct, you must submit the data again. "Input" is a live process and nothing is stored at that stage. Data is only stored (a) when it reaches a "Log to feed" and (b) at the intervals specified by the timebase when you set up the feed.
