AuxBatMon: 12V History Chart

Web chart showing last 24 hours of 12V battery metrics (similar to Android App)

Version 2.3 by Michael Balzer <dexter@dexters-web.de>

The module plugin records the relevant 12V battery metrics (voltage, reference voltage, current, charger and environment temperatures) once per minute for up to 24 hours by default.

The web plugin renders these recordings into a time series chart and continues feeding live updates into the chart. The chart is zoomable and can be panned along the X axis.

Since version 2.0, metrics history data is stored in a file and restored automatically on reboot/reload. This needs OVMS firmware >= 3.2.008-235 to work (will fallback to no saving on earlier versions).

Version 2.3 changes the file and transfer encoding from JSON to CBOR. Upgrading is strongly recommended, as this has a substantial performance gain for both the module (scripting engine) and the web user interface (loading the chart).

Installation

Save auxbatmon.js as /store/scripts/lib/auxbatmon.js
Add line to /store/scripts/ovmsmain.js:

auxbatmon = require("lib/auxbatmon");

Issue script reload or evaluate the require line
Install auxbatmon.htm web plugin, recommended setup:

Type: Page

Page: /usr/auxbatmon

Label: 12V History

Menu: Tools

Configuration

No live config currently. You can customize the sample interval (default: 60 seconds) and the history size (default: 24 hours) by changing the constants in the code. Take care to match a customization in both the module and the web plugin.

The persistent history storage file is /store/usr/auxbatmon.cbor by default. It needs ~30 kB with the default configuration. If space is tight on your /store partition you can change the file location to /sd/… in the source code.
