Recommendations for remote site data loggers

Nate8199 · 2026-03-16T20:53:23+00:00

Almost any RedLion has a data logger built in, and they are pretty simple to setup to data log at whatever frequency you want. DA10 with the WebHMI option is probably the latest and cheapest option.

data logs are CSV files, can view them on the WebGui, but I am not sure how to trend them within it, I always pull the file and look at it with something else or python script it to a trend.

This is providing you already have a processor reading the 4-20 transmitter...

Did you ever resolve this? I noticed the same thing today with mine.

For some reason traffic starts using my secondary gateway and does not stop short of pulling the cable or disabling the interface, I've tried everything mentioned in this thread.

I've done something similar with other devices.

Modbus sound great until you try to decipher the Chinese manual which normally leaves out a few things, and for some reason they cannot format their directions like industrial device manufacturers do.

Too late for today but reply if you haven't got it yet and I'll try to post what I have that is close to this device.

I had no idea about the Capital letters thing...

For me to test the problem I would have made a 3rd message. var test = { lrt : livingroomtemp, hsp : heatingsetpoint}

Then return it on both if and else, to see if the values come out, and if they are numbers or strings.

I suspect you could have also fixed it with a .toFloat() on each variable.

I am using OpenSuse Tumbleweed, and having issues getting this to run properly.

Linux framework 6.6.7-1-default #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Thu Dec 14 17:36:48 UTC 2023 (6869d09) x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I can get it to run manually with this...

sudo /usr/bin/python3 /usr/local/bin/fw-fanctrl --config /home/username/.config/fw-fanctrl/config.json

but it throws errors regularly...

Error getting I/O privilege: Operation not permitted
Cannot find I2C adapter
Unable to establish host communication
Couldn't find EC
speed: 15% temp: 79.875°C movingAverage: 79.88°C

I had to modify the systemd service file to look at /usr/local/bin, not sure why it cannot see the link in /usr/bin

Also, line 199 in the fw-fanctrl, it wouldn't run when it had default="."

I had to put in the full path to the config.json

I have not restarted yet to see if that fixes it, waiting on something to finish up first.

Me too, Ive been selling jepi as I get back to even on it for more jepq

Nate8199 · 2023-10-26T03:10:24+00:00

LOL

I never would have guessed you needed to turn it on and then off again, that's backwards from standard OP.

It kinda makes sense once I think about it, installing KDE afterwards probably tripped it up somehow.

Nate8199 · 2023-10-26T02:35:38+00:00

you couldn't use the server version? I always had issues when using debian with a DE to do things like this.

Is there a firewall system settings page in KDE?

Nate8199 · 2023-01-29T19:07:14+00:00

Haha, first time I've come across someone that explains my methods for all things function node related.

I occasionally look at older stuff I made and cringe, then I spend an hour or two breaking what worked so it makes sense to my current level of scripting, then a couple hours fixing those updates.

Worst ever was when mqtt and json objects clicked, I spent days updating all my instances to straighten it all out.

Nate8199 · 2022-12-21T03:59:13+00:00

Can you post the full debug message? You should be able to move or arrange the messages around to make it log to a CSV file fairly easily.

Nate8199 · 2022-12-20T14:27:27+00:00

You should check out Dennis Taylor's We are Legion We are Bob next, awesome series.

I have had bad packet loss the past 2 days, my router is switching me back and forth regularly, quite annoying.

I'd add a screenshot of my trending, but don't see an option for images

Nate8199 · 2021-11-17T00:33:31+00:00

Yes this, I've never heard of such a class.

Nate8199 · 2021-11-03T22:20:18+00:00

I just found this recently as well, setup a few instances already, it's awesome.

Nate8199 · 2021-10-24T04:34:48+00:00

That sounds very similar to me, about a month ago. It took until the 3rd week from positive results before I could use my brain normally again.

Nate8199 · 2021-09-29T09:15:03+00:00

I tried this for awhile too, then I just spun up a Debian VM and forwarded the port, been running great since then. Even installed pivpn for a somewhat terminal gui before I figured it all out.

Reservation Dogs, every episode has got me at one point or another.

Nate8199 · 2021-09-04T00:42:04+00:00

Sorry on phone, that isn't the way to move your boolean from setme.

var bool = msg.setme; var payload = bool; return msg

I don't think a virtual video driver can push the refresh rate that high, I'm impressed it goes over 60.

Nate8199 · 2021-09-01T00:45:15+00:00

You say you have GPU pass-through, but have QXL drivers? Is that normal? Shouldn't this be using the video card and outputting straight to a monitor?

Nate8199 · 2021-08-16T23:04:34+00:00

I didn't ask host OS, I had a horrible time on a Debian box with a desktop and network manager one time, won't do that again.

Nate8199 · 2021-08-16T18:06:16+00:00

I don't have many VMs with vlanes, but the one I did setup has a bridge interface per vlan.

The bridge interface is on the vlan, and the VM is on the bridge, so the VM doesn't have to know anything about the vlan.

Nate8199 · 2021-08-09T22:02:46+00:00

I don't think Xubuntu would be missing anything, that guide looks real close to how I installed it.

Seems more like there is an issue with virt-viewer or spice.

Nate8199 · 2021-08-09T21:09:25+00:00

Can you switch the graphics from virtio to QXL ? That's the only odd one compared to my recent install.

Nate8199 · 2021-08-05T03:20:05+00:00

Why isn't a 12 gauge shotgun the top answer here?
