Re: Software: modifications and extensions Toon

I thought that editing the tariffs manually was a better idea but i now know the concept of EasyEnergy, pay per use per hour/day tariffs. Makes it more complicated to get a nice graph for a year as you cannot set 1 tariff for the whole year. I currently don't care about the calculated costs in Toon...

Re: Software: modifications and extensions Toon

I have a very alpha version running. Only showing the current tariff which is updated every hour from the easyenergy website. And still need to works on the graphics. But it works.. it's something :D Tips for other app development beginners: - start with the default Clock app and play around with th...

Re: Custom temperature control algo

I was trying to figure out the workings of the sensor myself (in another thread about solar power collecting). I figured out that a LED pulse can easily be simulated by connecting two out of the three wires (probably the 3v and the ground/pulled-down input) together which will count for a pulse each...

Re: Toon app: Zon op Toon using PVoutput

Interesting solution. You might pass the digital signal from your raspi straight into the meter adapter, without the leds and the phototransistor (which together form an optocoupler, basically). Just tried to figure out the wiring of the sensors. There are 3 wires. On seems to be 3v, one seems to b...

Re: Toon app: Zon op Toon using PVoutput

If you are not connected to a P1 meter, activating the solar (if even possible) would break stuff. Because it uses the same analog port of the meter-adapter which in your situation is (i think) used for your analog meter (led).

Re: Toon app: Zon op Toon using PVoutput

Also, using my solution, it is important that the collected Watts from the different installations is almost realtime (30s at most?). As the Toon receives the P1 realtime (I think it is each 10 seconds or so) the solar power generated Watts should be in that order of precision also. Or else the Toon...

Re: Toon app: Zon op Toon using PVoutput

Yeah I want to try that later. Was not sure if the mini jack input could just receive the digital input and don't know the power levels and pin layout. When I have more time I will try to figure that out.

Re: Software: modifications and extensions Toon

So there isn't a option to emulate the Toon on a development pc to test the app? If no, how is debugging done? Where are the errors displayed if a app isn't working, bad parsing, or just debug prints for me to see what is happening?

Re: Toon app: Zon op Toon using PVoutput

On a side note. I recently did something else to get my solar output visible on the Toon. I have two seperate solar installations which are impossible view togheter using the normal Toon solar meter adapter. They are not on the same kWh meter. I created a script on a raspberry pi which calculates th...

Re: Software: modifications and extensions Toon

Hi, I would like to know if there is a basic template/tutorial how to start developing the qml apps. I can program in a couple of languages but never used Qt. What is the basic needs? Can I develop on my pc and test run it there? Or do I always need the Toon to test the app? I would like to develop ...
