Display string values in graph from logwatcher plugin

---

Hello,

I want to display string states of a device from the logwatcherplugin like this:
http://forum.pimatic.org/topic/18/implemented-logging-and-graphing-the-state-of-devices/2

I tried to modify the logreader plugin like the shellswitch plugin, but I can’t get it to work.

Do I have to do more than adding the discrete atrribute?

Thanks

@Xento Afaics, plotting string values is currently not supported

But how did Yves911 get on and off in his graph?
At the moment I use boolean, but this shows as true and false.
I want to display the state of my dryer as on and off and not true or false.

@Xento Most likely, @Yves911 used a boolean attribute with “on” and “off” labels.

Ah ok, this would solve my issue.
How can I use labels?
There is nothing in the device-config-schema.

@mwittig said:

Actually it’s not the case the on/off value you can see in my graph is simply a switch state nothing more

@Yves911 Well, the switch state actually is a boolean attribute witth “on” and “off” labels

attributes:
      state:
        description: "The current state of the switch"
        type: t.boolean
        labels: ['on', 'off']

As far as I know it is only possible to graph boolean and number attributes.

I added it to the config, but I can’t see the labels.
Maybe the plugin needs to be modified?

  ],

    {
      "match": ".*Nachricht:Sensor2: 0 .*",
      "state": true
    },
    {
      "match": ".*Nachricht:Sensor2: 1 .*",
      "state": false
    }
  ]
},

@Xento I have reviewed the source code of pimatic-log-reader. Unfortunately, the current implementation does handle labels I will prepare a pull request for it. So, hopefully there will be a new version soon.

Added PR https://github.com/pimatic/pimatic-log-reader/pull/3

@Xento If you are familiar with git and you wish to try the changes before the update will be released you can checkout https://github.com/mwittig/pimatic-log-reader.git

@mwittig Yeah I know git. I contributed to some plugins already. I added the boolean support to the log-reader plugin

@Xento Ah, ok. Sorry for fixing it on your behalf then

May be you should ask to be added to the developer group. See http://forum.pimatic.org/topic/471/pimatic-devs-developers-group
