Display a Net field on the measureit web page

[dcr68...@gmail.com]

Hi everyone,

I have an EnviR which was set up with two sensors (solar and grid) by the solar installers. Data was uploaded to pvoutput via Xively. Now that Xively has stopped I have installed Measureit on a Pi and it works fine.

1.  Is it possible to display a Net field (solar minus grid) on the Measureit web page and have a conditional colour such as green/blue if the the panels are exporting or the net value display as red if importing the shortfall from the grid.

2.. Would it be possible to use that net value on an unrelated web page (upload, scrape, etc).

I am not a programmer but can modify code using the terminal in Linux etc.

1. To be honest I do not understand what you mean :)

2. You can request a lot of values from measureit via API requests. It delivers the values in json format that you can use in other projects

Hi Thomas, thanks for your response. Sorry I should have said that I am not a programmer,

I read the API doc and I looked in the web directory on the Pi and found a bunch of scripts and the default html page, but have no idea which one to modify to add a third row to the displayed html page so that it displays a cell with the net figure (consumption minus solar).

Or is there an easier way to do this.

Thanks.

Hi,

I will take a look when I am back from holidays end of next week :)

Maybe the effort is not so high.
