Modem Events

What I am looking for is a plugin or method to use EventGhost to run scripts etc. when my landline rings and is answered, like the smart phone app but for the land line.

I have a ...

Re: Charts and graphs

While not totally within eventghost the best option I have found is to use MySQL, apache and HighCharts to plot the chart.

It does require a MySQL database, the MySQL python package, web server software (I use apache) and some clever coding but it works and is extremely flexible. Fortunately I ...

Re: How to calculate in Python to compensate for sensor erro

Change td = my_data[2]-1 to
td = float(my_data[2])-1

It should work then.

From my understanding (basic understanding) td was a string, not a number. You can't -1 from a string. Float changes it to a number... (Please, correct me if I'm wrong)

Edit: ^^ Beat me to it.

Re: Looking for advice on speech recognition concept

I use, and would recommend Vox Commando. It has served me well although is not free but it's not much for a licence. Between EG and VC my HTPC is totally voice controlled and have voice feedback too... basically, it's a less sophisticated version of JARVIS from the Iron Man films.

Re: Charts and graphs

I'm looking in to the charts & graphs for my Owl energy meter and my Heatmiser Wifi Stat.

Both log the values to a MySQL db (although the heatmiser one isn't eg based but linux based and runs on a different box).

Highcharts, I believe it is called, looks like it would do it but it does need some ...

Re: Log to MySQL

You need Python 2.6 installed for the codegood installer to work, without it it'll stop when it tries to find python.

The archive you supplied, I assume, includes the MySQL files to extract straight in to the eg site-packages directory? However, it depends on the version of MySQL you run as I had ...

Log to MySQL

Hi,

I'm very new to the world of EventGhost and Python and trying to learn (with some success but not as much as I'd like).

I have a few sensors which are picked up by EG, for now I'll just specify the one in the hopes I can add the rest later, the same way.

The sensor logs the current drawn from ...

Thanks, that was fast!

I'll give it a try when I get home tonight and let you know what happens.

Edit.

Forgot I had Team Viewer installed... Just tried it and it works.

Re: RFXtrx

Hey,

I'm new to EventGhost, I used it about 6 months ago for some basic tasks but that was it. Now I have my RFXtrx I need to use it more. And so far it's been pretty easy going.

But, I have the OWL CM113 which is being picked up by the RFXtrx and using RFXmngr I get all the details from it ...
