nil13 Posted January 11, 2016 Posted January 11, 2016 What is the best way to create a log file? For instance, if I want to know when a motion detector dawn/dusk sensor trips over the course of a week how would I create that log file? I realize that I could just send an email, but that seems a little messy especially if it triggers very frequently. thanks

Depending on how many events you want to keep in a log you can dedicate variables for each occurrence in ISY variables. I wouldn't try this with more than about a 10-15 events log, though. I count every MS trigger per day in my ISY. 10 MS units. Did you need actual times or just a count?
nil13 Posted January 12, 2016 Author Posted January 12, 2016 Yeah, it would be nice to have a timestamp.
IndyMike Posted January 12, 2016 Posted January 12, 2016 nil13, If you have the network module, you can use a program to log whatever data your heart desires (and variables support). http://forum.universal-devices.com/topic/10122-402-network-module-create-web-pages-using-programs/ I've been using this technique to log weather data for a couple of years now. Very nice.
nil13 Posted January 12, 2016 Author Posted January 12, 2016 Unfortunately I don't have the network module.
MWareman Posted January 12, 2016 Posted January 12, 2016 Unfortunately I don't have the network module.Yeah, you'll need that to utilize that built in function. Otherwise you can send emails and write an email parser, but I suspect the network module will be much better for your need, and it will open up all kinds of additional capability to you.
larryllix Posted January 13, 2016 Posted January 13, 2016 Unfortunately I don't have the network module. No Network Module required for ISYLogger to grab variables on a regular clock schedule and log them in CSV format. http://forum.universal-devices.com/topic/7293-isylogger-latest-version-v067/
