Need help with refactoring charting for a fork of a module.

@jwilson5607 i changed the node_helper like this … I sent a pull request

accept it and this will be added to your instance, then on pi, git pull to get that update locally
restart magic mirror

  getData: function (notification, url) {
      var self = this;
      console.log('requesting:' + url);
      request({ url: url, method: 'GET' }, function (error, response, body) {
        console.log(self.name+": request response="+JSON.parse(error)+" statusCode="+response.statusCode)
          if (!error && response.statusCode == 200) {
            var result = JSON.parse(body);
            console.log(JSON.stringify(result,null,2) );
            if(result.success==='true'){
              self.sendSocketNotification(notification, result.data);
            } else {
              console.log(self.name +" api request failed =>"+ result.data.error_message)
            }
          } else {
              console.log("MMM-Beestat : Could not load data. error="+JSON.stringify(error));
          }
      });
  },

@sdetweil I see the data flowing into the logs now (I think it would be ok to comment out the console.log portion of this later on when I start parsing longer stretches of time). Thank you so much for looking at this! However, its now changing the title of the chart to Ecobee Runtime, and just sticking on loading… in the chart area. Screenshot 2022-05-06 210416.png

I don’t see any reference in the mmm-beestat.js file that should put this there for the title. I have chart_title defined in the code and called via this snippet here on 118:

title: { display: true, text: this.config.chart_title, padding: 5 }

It also never displays the data. I use PowerShell for my day to day scripting work (IAM Systems Engineer) and Javascript is a whole new beast to me (one I am having difficulty adjusting to working with), but I know order of operations can be important. My guess is that it is not in this case, but unsure.

I THINK its related to the getdata function and specifically how its treating the socketNotificationReceived potion of this.

 getData: function () {
        var url = this.config.url + this.config.api_key + '&resource=ecobee_runtime_thermostat&method=get_aggregate_runtime&arguments={"ecobee_thermostat_id":'+this.config.ecobee_thermostat_id+',"time_period":"'+this.config.time_period+'","time_count":'+this.config.time_count+',"group_by":"'+this.config.group_by+'"}';

        this.sendSocketNotification('beestat_runtime', url);
    },

    socketNotificationReceived: function(notification, payload) {
        if (notification === "beestat_runtime") {
            this.hist = payload;
            this.loaded_history = true;
        }

Is this good or should it be different here? I see the original code is referencing in the node_helper file:

self.sendSocketNotification(notification, result)

And you updated it to result.data… In the received section it references payload. Would changing this to result be whats needed here?

Let me reiterate again how much I appreciate your patience and assistance.

@jwilson5607 1st… you never showed your config.js ( without the apikey) , so I don’t see your title string

console.log()… I usually add a if(this.config.debug) in front so you can turn them on when u need it via config.js
add a debug:false, to the beestat.js to set it to false by default.

as for title… did u use the debugger in the dev console… you could stop right there to see if the values are what you think they should be

‘payload’ is just a idea name…

its the data in the notification, ie the payload

doesn’t matter what its called on either side… use whatever term works in your head

payload is just generic

in got this notification, id = 1st parm, and the data/payload of the notification is in the 2nd parm…

you have loading cause the code does this is getdom()

        if (!this.loaded_history) {   // if data not received yet
            outerWrapper.innerHTML = this.translate("LOADING");
            outerWrapper.className = "dimmed light small";
            return outerWrapper;
        }

but here is where this.loaded_history is set to true

socketNotificationReceived: function(notification, payload) {
        if (notification === "beestat_runtime") {
            this.hist = payload;  // yay!!  we got some data from helper, save it
            this.loaded_history = true; // indicate we  got data so getDom() will work
        }

that just says hey, if I get socketnotification events, call here
and if the id string is “beestat_runtime” then
save the data (payload) in the variable this.hist

on the send of result.data, you only expected the DATA on the beetstat.js,. so that is what I had sent…

using the debugger will REALLY make this a LOT easier… cause u will see the data as u process it…

@jwilson5607 I don’t have my apikey yet… so only get error

sdetweil

@jwilson5607 also, hist is set to be an array []

but the data comes back as objects

"data": {  //  is an object

                    "deleted": false
                },
}

you can’t process that with a simple for loop… as u don’t have an array, buy you could MAKE an array with the

function Object.keys(objectname)

is will return a list (array) of all the high level object names in the input object, in your case
[ “29249277”, “29249278”]

and you could use it like this

 Object.keys(this.hist).forEach(thermostat_id =>{
             let thermostatinfo=this.hist[thermostat_id]
                 xxx=     thermostatinfo.sum_auxiliary_heat_1 / 3600
 })

@jwilson5607 finally got my beestat apikey

one change

in node_helper, I tested the response for the literal ‘true’, not boolean true
change to

             if(result.success==true){

jwilson5607

@sdetweil Sorry for the delay - life got busier than normal for a while. I am extremely thankful for your help as this was beyond my current set of abilities. I’ve updated my code and verified that its working for me as expected. Thank you again, you’re amazing!

sdetweil

@jwilson5607 glad u got it working…

if I hadn’t done my own chartjs module, I would have had no clue,
