show integer logs from python script as diagram in MM ?

tbbear · Feb 1, 2018, 11:40 PM

@cruunnerr Hi, i dont know if u would like what i have but i made the same u want to have.
I also use a HC-SR04 and a python script, i think its the same u use i put all results in a json file and than
i read it with my openhab server so now i can display via (MMM-Openhab) the actual filling on my mirror.
Also to get a diagram is no problem . I would realy recomment u to take a look at openhab and what it can do. In case of questions please contact me … Robert

I use highcharts to make a diagram for my gas station price module. It’s quite easy to implement and use if you have the data in an object.

@tbbear

since u wrote the brilliant Openhab module this would really be a good option :)
I will keep that in mind.

@doubleT
i will take a look at it. looks great. But i am sure i will have questions :D

edit:

i also found this: https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/2470/mmm-chart-view-your-graphs-on-your-mirror

But what is meant by “JSON data source”? is it just a *.js file with text in it? And is that the only file needed to use this module? i am still looking. ^^

cruunnerr · Feb 5, 2018, 4:31 AM

so i actually edited my python script, so that the results will be automatically loaded up to my MySQL Database on the Synology NAS.

With PHP i can show the Data as a diagram :)
So now i could use an iFrame module.
So far so good ^^ (never thought i get this working)

next days i will take a look at the MMM-Chart Module and the OpenHAB solution. (or a other that maybe works with MySQL)

For those, who are interested so far:

@cruunnerr You could use a mysql module to query your database, create a route to output a JSON file, then use MMM-Charts to display.

cruunnerr · Feb 5, 2018, 4:27 AM

@ninjabreadman said in show integer logs from python script as diagram in MM ?:

create a route to output a JSON file

alright, that sound makable for me i think. ^^Will take a look. Thank you

edit: ehm…first question :D

i installed this now (seems to be newer). But where to start? Where i need to create the file, and what type of file, and how will it be loaded?
Is it a javascript file, which must be saved somewhere in the node directory?

doubleT · Feb 5, 2018, 3:09 PM

I have been following this, but I didn’t have time to comment.

You asked about the. json file. Simplyfied, it’s a file that holds a (JS) object for data sharing.

{{date:"2018-01-01", litre:500},{date:"2018-01-02", litre:498},{date:"2018-01-03", litre:495}}

Probably comparable to what you did with your txt file.
For a working solution, that would actually be enough. Grab the json, handle the object, print the result with highcharts.
To me, the SQL db seems a bit “heavy weight” for such a simple use case, but it’s solid if you can make it work. Just my opinion.

ninjabreadman · Feb 5, 2018, 4:46 PM

@cruunnerr @doubleT It would certainly be more easily handled in JSON or even a CSV (easiest to append readings). You can then set up cron to rsync the file to your mirror, load the file with an npm package like csv or fast-csv, and display in MMM-Chart (I would modify MMM-Chart to load the CSV directly).

doubleT · Feb 5, 2018, 5:11 PM

Yes, that’d be the easiest option. Could be running tonigt. ;)
Personally, I’d go with the json, though. I did it like this with Highcharts.js, which seems familiar to MMM-Charts:

node-helper.js:

const fs = require("fs");
//...
    socketNotificationReceived: function(notification, payload) {
        if (notification === "UpdateChart") {
        	this.getChart();
        }
    },
    getChart: function() {

		var rawdata = fs.readFileSync('path/to/my.json');
		var history = JSON.parse(rawdata);
		var history = history.slice(-84); // 12 per day x 7 = I only want the last 84 data points
		this.sendSocketNotification("ChartUpdate", history);
	}

module.js:

    getScripts: function() {
        return [
            this.file("highcharts/highcharts.js"),
            this.file("highcharts/series-label.js"),
            this.file("highcharts/exporting.js")
        ]
    },
    socketNotificationReceived: function(notification, payload) {
        if (notification === "ChartUpdate") {
        	this.getChart(payload);
        }
    },
    getChart: function(history) {
        var chart = "";
            for(i = 0; i < history.length; i++) {
                if (i === 0) {
	    		chart = history[i].litre;
	    	}
	    	else {
	    		chart = chart + ", " + history[i].price;
	    	}
	    }
	    var maxi = Math.max.apply(Math, JSON.parse("[" + chart + "]"));
	    var highest = maxi.toString() + " L";
	    var mini = Math.min.apply(Math, JSON.parse("[" + chart + "]"));
	    var lowest  = mini.toString() + " L";

	    Highcharts.chart('module-chart', { // the id of the div to contain the chart!
	    	chart: {
		    	height: 175,

wow, thank u guys for your effort :)

personally for me this project is not that easy, because i need to learn and understand several languages at the same time. So pls be patient ^^

While u posted here i was able to create a JSON file from the mysql database. But the results were looking like this:

[{"Datum":"2018-02-03T23:00:00.000Z","Volumen":2488},{"Datum":"2018-02-03T23:00:00.000Z","Volumen":2488},]

thats probably because the columns in the database are defined as “date” (not datetime) and “decimal”
I think i would get this right and could load this into the MMM-Chart.

But now u guys posted several solutions. The easiest would be to create a CSV and log this directly with the MMM-Chart @ninjabreadman said.
To create the CSV is no problem for me, but how changing the MMM-Chart… i need to pass a.t.m. ^^

Actually i’m not sure how node.js and npm works so i need to read and try a little bit more to understand it better :)

@doubleT
How exactly would highcharts work together with the MM? Is it just like a web page or what? :D
How to start it, where to put the files, and how to implement to MM?
For me it looks nearly like an own module for the MM.

Sorry for the much questions, but i am trying not just to use a finished solution. I want to nearly understand that whole stuff XD

Thank you guys, u are great

edit:
So i changed the columns definition from “date” to “text”.
Now my with the javascript using node i can get a JSON file looks correct:

[{"Datum":"2018-02-04","Volumen":2490},{"Datum":"2018-02-04","Volumen":2488},]

but i am using a very very simple script i think and i am just able to execute it manually by typing in terminal “node script.js”
also i don’t know in what direction this has to be saved.

var mysql      = require('mysql');
var fs = require('fs');
var connection = mysql.createConnection({
  host: 'xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx',
  port: '3307',
  user: '...',
  password: '...',
  database: 'Tank'
});

connection.connect();

connection.query('SELECT * from Volumen', function(err, results, fields) {
    if(err) throw err;

    fs.writeFile('results.json', JSON.stringify(results), function (err) {
      if (err) throw err;
      console.log('Saved!');
    });
});

connection.end();
