Android app for the Classic

[Graham]

I just loaded the newest version of app from Dropbox.
It found both of my systems and all seems to work okay - except  I don't have any loads on one of my systems and it shows Consumption 232 W which is the same as the other system which is the one that has the loads on it .

These two classics are independent of each other with their own batteries and don't share anything - both have their own Whizbang etc.

With your setup you should have 'Enable System View' unchecked.

When it's checked, the app will connect to all classics and sum up the power and consumption values, this should be used when you have more than one classic that are charging one battery bank.
When it's not unchecked, each classic is independent and the app will only connect to the selected classic.

Uncheck the 'Enable System View' check box, restart the app. let me know if the consumption values make sense.

Yes - unchecking the System View - now they are different and makes sense.
Thanks,

Graham,

I just had nothing to do and a look to your dropbox,
the new release 3 hours ago:
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/z04q8hpw5ibpwfd/AACYFiNhy7ADhwUXyJ_UUz7Ia/app-release.apk?dl=0
have just download and test it

installed this latest version on both devices

Just if it is interesting for you:
If I open the app only on one device, it works
If I open it then also on the 2nd device, is has trouble to get data; it also can not "see" that the WBJr is in the system and shows only the tab with the 5 gauges. But shows battery voltage
If I deactivate the app on the first written device and close everything, then open it again on the 2nd device and change between the Classics, then it appears.
I open the app on the "first" device again, it has the same problems ... 


edit: now after noon I open both apps and works. Have an eye on it

Thanks for the video for the last issue, that really helped,
I wonder if auto connect is causing both devices to try to connect to the same CC
I'm  working on support for multiple pvoutput accounts/SID with the latest all on dropbox

I hope this is the right place to post my questions. I am using Classic Monitor. I am unable to auto upload to PvOutput. In Classic Monitor setting page I have everything checked and have put in my API Key and SID. It won't upload. I downloaded McDonald Pv Output last night and today or quit responding. Over night in Classic Monitor I lost my day log calendar reading for the last 4 days. The total kWh is 0.0, the power to batteries is 0 w except for Sunday it changed to 87w from over 700 w. For tie and we'd my panel volts is showing as 4.6v which is way low. Was over 30v. I love the live chart view. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am using version 2.4.3. System view is checked but it also frayed out. I only have one classic 150.

I lost my first days output (viewed on day 2) and no more sent/received since....??

Make sure the classic has the correct date & time using the local app or mngp.

In the settings of the app, there is a "Clear Recorded Logs' button, this will erase the file on your device containing the data that is sent to PVOutput.

Once you clear the logs, restart the app and wait for it to load the day logs, it should then start to upload the data to PVOutput.

if the above does not work, then I would clear the app setting by going to Android Settings under 'Apps' find the classic app, then "force Stop' & 'Clear Data'
then restart the app, let it auto connect to the classic then re-enter the PVoutput Key  & SID, Save the settings and restart the app again.

Question: do you have more than one classic in your system?

I will do all that when I get home tonight. Thanks. I will update when I am done one way or another.

No, I had the Day 1 data disappear at about the time you posted the latest version.
Noticed I was not the only one  so posted info on  my data drop.

I will load V 20.4.3 for this weekend and see if anything changes.

The kW/h data in PVOutput should be the same as the calendar tab and the 'Offline data' in the local app.

Did the app read the day 1 kW/h data and failed to upload it or is it missing in the calendar as well?

The latest APK has a few other fixes and the new Share icon to capture screen shots

My date was set back to 2012. Corrected that then forced reboot. I stopped classic monitor and cleared cache. Reconfigured classic monitor and rebooted tablet. I lost the data for the rest of the days for this month but it found the data for the 5th of this month. Will it slowly find the data or is it lost. Not a big deal as I am playing trying to get it to update PVOutput at this time. I know how well it is working I just want a better history.

It works. It transmitted all the way back through last month. Just missing data for this month. Will this correct itself or just from now going forward?

The PVOutput site imposes limits to the rate and number of entries it will accept.

the app will upload one entry for each day starting yesterday going back every 10 seconds up to a limit of 20 days.
the app will remember the date of the latest upload and will upload from the current date (-1) to the latest upload date
if you press 'Clear recorded logs' in the settings, it will clear the latest upload date so that it will upload the last 20 days again.
the data uploaded is the same as what is displayed in the calendar tab, so if the calendar is correct, it should eventually make it up to pvOUtput.org

I believe the pvoutput site will accept a .csv file that you can get using the local app in the 'offline data' section.
The site will probably stop accepting entries once you've uploaded 20, so you might have to wait until tomorrow for that limit to clear.

Hi Andy,
I'm down in the US for a couple of weeks, I'll take a look at the code when get back home.
I've had some issues with the layout, I fix it on a tablet and it breaks on a smaller phone
