Automated download of measurement data to file possible?

[themoose]

I cannot imagine I am the first to ask if there is a possibility to have the measurement data from Profilux downloaded to a file automatically i.o. that tedious manual way!? Just haven't been able to find it

[themoose]

No reply, not even from GHL?

[Matthias]

in general it is possible, you can load the file "http://192.168.0.110/sensordata001.txt" (is example, of course use the correct address of your ProfiLux, 001 is the index of the sensor you want to load)

but:

load it from where to where?

in a dedicated web page? with a special self written PC software?

I need more details to give a substantial answer

Thanks Matthias for your response, you have provided all the info I need!

Purpose: automated downloads of Profilux measurements to Unix environment, some number crunching, combining it with other measurements in my tank setup and providing customised overviews/graphs on daily (weekly or whatever) bases. Inconsistencies in measurements (e.g. pH valve open for x time without expected dpH/dt) will be fed back to Profilux dig inputs to trigger alarms etc...

ah ok

keep in mind that the measurement data file gives you all stored data, not only the new data after your last request
-> you have to eliminate duplicates

Only as an idea for further development: It would it be helpful (also for the app) to have the possibility to set a limit for download like

http://192.168.0.110/sensordata001.txt?limit=10

This would speed up requests and reduce the workload for the PL

[Matthias]

we already reduce the transmitted data using a special command before this request, but this idea is good and may be used in a future version

Is clear, Matthias.

Can I dl state of switches / illumination etc in a similar way? If yes are filename definitions for those somewhere documented?

[Matthias]

there are some json-files

-> have a look at the file system (with ProfiLuxControl), I think the filenames are clear
