I see there’s now a means to filter channels during import when you enroll the hub - nice.
Are you still considering adding a way to “bulk delete” channels already subscribed? I’d like to clean up my channel config but the individual delete process remains time consuming and lacking any cost (to me) to just keep everything laziness will prevail.
Hi @georgeh
I’ve added bulk channel delete to the to-do list but it’s not that high up at the moment.
Next on the list is the ability to scroll the time axis on a graph, even after it is saved.
There have been some more updates to ConstantGraph (please reload the page to make sure you are running the latest version)
hi Simon - only just come across this, at first glance, early days in collecting data, it’s exactly what i was after. Only feedback as others have said, it imported all my devices and i ended up having to remove a lot of them one by one. Thanks again, hope to donate once this has bedded in a bit.
@Daniel_Berry thanks for the feedback. I guess I’ll push this up the priority list. Could you (and @georgeh and others) describe how this might be done better? e.g.
Your feedback appreciated.
2 sounds good. Add a checkbox to each channel the user can select, then give a bulk delete option for all selected channels. The concept could be extended to allow other operations on multiple selections in the future via a drop-down of options (although I can’t think of other multi-channel operations of interest at this time other than deleting, some could come up).
Hi @bafonso.
I’m sure there are plenty of devices out there that can report on outside temperature. Maybe even a weather app can give you local enough temperatures depending on how precise you need it to be.
On your second point, I’m interested to understand a little more about what you are trying to achieve. What do you mean by finding the correlations for different temperature differentials with outside?
Are you trying to show the relationship between two different channels? E.g. what is the relationship between inside temperature and outside temperature? Or how does the difference between inside and outside temperature relate to my heating energy consumption?
I have just released a new feature that allows you to bulk delete channels. Just select the channels you want deleted in the Channel Config menu and click on the new Delete all selected channels button @Daniel_Berry @georgeh.
A major improvement for those of us with lots of unused channels – thanks!
After using it, just a few comments (for future enhancement bin):
As it turns out, one now needs to have an edge smartapp which means we need a local computer to run a bridge driver 24/7 … at which point one wonders, why not just use home assistant
I’d like to gauge how long it takes to heat up my house 1C from temp X C if it’s -20C or -10C outside. This could potentially be used to estimate how long in advance to start heating up the house if I’m away for a few days. It could also be useful to estimate when to start heating up the house and by how many degrees if we don’t plan on using electric heating for a certain timespan of time during peak electricity usage in quebec (hydro quebec)
@georgeh - all good points. I’ve made the 20 channel limit more obvious but also made a note to see if that can be improved later. I’ve also added a deselect all channels button. I’ve also added the search results button to the list of ideas for the future.
Maybe I am missing something but how do I get my thermostat status to be imported? i.e., when it is heating? This would be the thermostatOperatingState bit. It does import thermostatMode but that is not useful since it never changes, it is always set to heat 
(or 1)
@bafonso - My first thoughts on this are that there would have to be a way to create a channel that is calculated as a function of the values of other channels. Whilst doing the maths is easy, the overhead of managing custom channels is not. I’ll add it to the list of feature requests for the future.
@bafonso - I have just added a new data type for thermostatOperatingState so it should start working now. Let me know if it’s OK as I don’t have a device to test it with. Thanks!
note that ConstantGraph can only graph numbers and not text values such as those available from thermostatOperatingState. To make it work, the text values are converted into numbers, e.g. cooling = 0, fan only = 1. The numbers that are used can be seen by hovering over the icons in the Icon Set of the data type in the Data Types menu:
Whilst you can use custom data types to log types that are not built in, they do not yet have the ability to convert text to numbers like some built-in type do.
Thank you @constantgraph , it is very nice to have this info! I wonder if there is a way to improve its presentation. I think ideally if we could split the y axis into two separate ones, it would be good. Right now I can improve it by setting the dimensions of the secondary axis but a split axis would make it more resilient to zooming, etc.
I am wondering if there is a way for me to convert Auto to 0 and heating to 1? Right now my thermostat is apparently on “Auto” (3) instead of off, so creates confusingly looking graphs. The other thing would be to see if it’s possible to have last value if it’s missing. See below
There have been a few more updates as follows:
@bafonso - I’d like to make sure I understand your request properly. Can you send me a private message with the channel numbers that you are using in your graph (the one you wanted separate axes for) and what settings you have them on - ideally save the graph and let me know what it’s called.
To reduce the confusion on which setting the graph is on, let me see if I can label the axes with the text value.
As for filling in the last missing value, I may have just fixed that - let me know if it works for you.
