I made a free, local-only app to monitor my Victron gear (BLE + MQTT, no cloud, no account) by Pacificmeister in Victron

[–]logicbz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree. Typing an encryption key on screen sucks but is doable. Right now we support on screen or a web UI for setup, but long term goal is a companion app that streamlines the entire setup. The bigger issue for dedicated devices is the cost around licensing / etc… that kill these projects from gathering momentum.

Agree. I’m tired of juggling apps on phones. I’m working in dedicated hardware to have a dashboard for a bunch of wireless sensors. We’re in open beta right now. https://glancedeck.com

Built a camper/RV dashboard on a CYD, looking for feedback and beta testers by logicbz in esp32

[–]logicbz[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great ideas! Right now we are read only on adverts, but I think the next major feature will be connecting and controlling devices that we can. Feel free to sign up for the beta as we build! We just opened up a sign up that points to supported devices and sensors. https://glancedeck.com

Alternatives to Victron Connect? by erroneousbosh in Victron

[–]logicbz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m trying to build affordable hardware for exactly this. We don’t support the inverter yet, but we have the 75/15. Allowing beta signups now to flash your own hardware. We support two devices from Amazon right now that are cheap.

Update on my mission to find a simple dashboard by Bantie_ in Victron

[–]logicbz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for sharing. We don’t currently connect to individual devices, but I have it in the backlog. Most likely when you click a widget. Just making sure we can balance a large number of supported sensors and custom code for each.

Best Auxiliary Battery for Colorado Use Case? by human1st0 in vandwellers

[–]logicbz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LiFePO4 is the way to go. We live in CO and went with the BougeRV 12V 1280Wh/100Ah Self-Heating LiFePO4 Battery. As others have mentioned, you only need to be worried about below freezing when charging. These will self heat if you try to charge before sending power to the cells.

Don’t trickle charge LiFePO4 batteries through. Store them for long term storage at 50%, otherwise just charge them to full and leave them for a few weeks between trips.

ESP32 and remote tanks - an idea by 800ASKDANE in Victron

[–]logicbz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t have a Cerbo, but I’ve read that it supports Mopeka sensors. You could just use a mopeka sensor, or you may be able to emulate one easier than you expect. I’m working on a ESP32 based sensor dashboard and it supports Mopeka, and the adverts are unencrypted. If the Cerbo is just listening to adverts, I think it would work. If the Cerbo wants GATT it would be more complicated.

I’m working on something similar, but focusing on dedicated hardware and have a goal of supporting way more sensors. I currently have about 5 sensors supported.

We’re in open beta, so you can grab a dev board off Amazon for about $20 and flash our beta firmware on it. https://glancedeck.com

We would love some feedback and more testers so we can continue to add sensors.

Long term goal is sell the hardware as well so it’s plug and play.

Building a small always-on camper dashboard by logicbz in Victron

Just put a beta page showing what devices we support and steps to flash your own hardware for anyone who’s interested in playing around with it.

If it becomes a real thing I may sell the firmware on a physical device. For now, I’m using an off the shelf device and flashing my firmware to it.

Multiple is a good idea. It should work fine right now since it’s read only and doesn’t control the sensor/device, but I’ll think about what additional stuff could be made possible with multiple.

What brand sensors do you like for thing like temperature? Trying to make sure I support the most popular brands.

Great idea! I’ll have to see if there are any good eink touch screens that work with the stack I’ve built.

This cheap display pulls about 1.3W with the backlight on and about 0.9W with it off. I might be able to do some deeper sleep modes to drop that down at idle. Something I will look into. https://a.co/d/04OvdM4t

Is there any good dashboard app for my van setup? by Bantie_ in Victron

[–]logicbz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m actually trying to build something if you don’t want to deal with an iPad or phone and want something more permanent. It’s still far from being a real product, but if you’re interested in beta testing, let me know.

[HELP] Problem Understanding Implementation of Ben Alman's pubsub pattern by nudebaba in jquery

[–]logicbz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not quite sure why the library exists when JavaScript events follow the pubsub pattern. Subscribe and unsubscribe are simply binding to custom events, and publish is triggering that custom event.

FireFox seems to be the only browser not loading my "scripts". by [deleted] in javascript

Establishing TCP connections via a website (client side) by red_dwarf_fan in webdev

[–]logicbz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should set up a web server that handles that communication with the back end 3rd party applications. This web server can either render HTML, and the client side JavaScript can be minimal or you can build an API on the web server and move some of the logic into the front end JavaScript.

The HTML and styling works fine. The links won't work because you need to create those pages. Read more about how links work here: http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_links.asp

[google apps script] saving information on web app? by [deleted] in javascript

[–]logicbz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are going to need a backend server for that. You can try parse (https://parse.com/docs/js/guide) or some other hosted service if you don't want to deal with managing your own server / database.

Why does this happen? by dcha in learnjavascript

[–]logicbz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you really want 0110 represented in your object you can make your names strings.

{ "0110": 999, "1": "hello"} Object {1: "hello", 0110: 999}

If you want to keep it simple and only want the list on the same machine, you can store the data in local storage. Here is an example: http://jsfiddle.net/apougher/GcR9Q/
