barrygordon Posted August 22, 2013 Posted August 22, 2013 When I look in the log file I see only one entry for thermostat status (temp), yet I see many entries indicating that the cooling system is being turned on and off. Why don't I see the temperature changing? The mode is cool, the setpoint is 77 degrees and the outside temp is in the high 80's
Michel Kohanim Posted August 22, 2013 Posted August 22, 2013 Hi Barry, I am a little confused: the first statement says that the only thing you see is Status (temp) and then the question is why don't you see any temperature changes. So, which one is it as the two statements are contradictory. With kind regards, Michel
barrygordon Posted August 22, 2013 Author Posted August 22, 2013 In the log file I only see one temperature entry for each thermostat. I see lots of humidity entries, and I see entries indicating that coolIng Is turning on and off but only a single temp (status) entry for each thermostat. Shouldn't I see status entries in the log file each time the temp changes? I am pretty sure I did yesterday, then I cleared the lopg file and no longer see multiple temp changes over the course of a day.
Michel Kohanim Posted August 23, 2013 Posted August 23, 2013 Hi Barry, They should change if and only if you see the same changes in the Admin Console. Do they? With kind regards, Michel
barrygordon Posted August 23, 2013 Author Posted August 23, 2013 The changes are there, my error. Would it be posssible to change the format of the data/time field in a log entry to be Sort Friendly? The current date/time field looks like: "Thu 2013/08/22 11:00:00PM" which is not sort friendly I would suggest that DOW be dropped and the time shown in military format such as: "2013/08/22 23:00:00" which is sort friendly. If there is some way to do this simply in excel, I am not aware of it, is there?
Michel Kohanim Posted August 23, 2013 Posted August 23, 2013 Hi Barry, You have access to logs in a CSV format by /rest/log. You can do/format as you wish with it. Please review the WSDK for time representation (is an NTP number). With kind regards, Michel
barrygordon Posted August 23, 2013 Author Posted August 23, 2013 Thanks Michel, I already understood that. I was referring to retrieving the logs through the Admin console. You provide the mechanism to dump the logs into Excel which allows for filtering and sorting. The issue for me is that if I try and sort the logs by the date/time field it does not do a good job due to the way the date/time field is formatted. It is a text field so using that field as a key it does not sort too well. The change I would like to see is when you dump the log into excel the date/time field be made sort friendly. I realize I can do it multiple other ways, but putting it in excel as you do is the best for further mainpulation.
Michel Kohanim Posted August 23, 2013 Posted August 23, 2013 Hi Barry, That's the international format which we have used for more than 6 years. It would be quite difficult to just change it now. And thus my suggestion that perhaps you can have it in any format you like if you use /rest/log. With kind regards, Michel
