Prototype for Dashboard with live data
Posted: Sun Sep 18, 2011 9:08 am
As you might have noticed, Meteoplug can receive live data of your sensors in intervals down to 10 seconds since a week or two. Simply select that option on "Settings" page and you are done. Your Meteoplug client will need a reboot to load the new code as well.
My working on special kinds of charts that can display live data did produce a prototype I would like to post here for comments and ideas from your side. This prototype does a "regular" chart definition as you use them for the other charting options of Meteoplug. The prototype is named "_live-demo-black". Feeld free to select it from the drop-down list of available charts. As you see, the elements of the chart are separately defined as widgets with sensor definitions in the classical meteoplug style and an additional property section between the <chart> tags, which is filled by definitions in fusionchart style. Documentation how this all works in detail will follow. Defined widgets are composed by regular CSS statements on the screen to make up a dash board. As you see this is extremely flexible and when you get familar to the fusionchart parameters you can make very individual live data charting.
Best thing here is, that you don't have to buy these widgets from fusioncharts. As with amcharts, Smartbedded did purchase a SaaS license for usage in Meteoplug. To keep costs at a reasonable level smartbedded and fusioncharts agreed on the small fusionchart advertisement sticker in the bottom left corner. Please dont try to remove this, it would break the T&Cs of using that feature.
I hope you enjoy the new features and like the way powerful graphing tools are included step by step into the Meteoplug concept (amcharts from start on, now fusion widgets).
