Hi Dan,

I've written a plugin that logs the water pressure for the system, and displays a graph of that on the home page, so it's easy to correlate with the history.  It seems to be working pretty well, but I needed more access to the home page html than seems to be offered by the plugin architecture.

I believe the limits of the plugin architecture WRT the display, are adding completely new pages, adding a bit of text to the footer, or adding to the status text on the timeline.  Did I miss something or is this really the limit?

In order to display the graph I want to insert and populate an additional table row in the schedule table, aligned with the program display for system maintenance purposes.  Right now I manually add a <script src="..."> tag to home.html, and use this to attach events to generate the UI changes (jQuery listeners and DOM MutationObservers).

Maintaining even this single line of code different from the trunk isn't ideal, so I started thinking about a more general way to accomplish this.  For instance adding a global variable which would contain a list of scripts to inject, something like:

gv.plugin_scripts = [];

Each plugin could augment register the need to inject scripts into the home page by populating this variable:

gv.plugin.append(["home", "pressure_monitor.js"]);

When any UI page is loaded, it would check for any relevant script injection requests and process them.  The result in this case would be to generate a <script src="static/scripts/pressure_monitor.js"></script> tag in the home page.

WDYT?  Would this be granting too much power to plugin developers?

I have rainwater collection at my house with tanks at the downspouts and 150 gallons of storage located in a greenhouse in my garden. I would like to be able to use float switches that in the greenhouse tanks to fill the greenhouse tanks automatically each day with the float ensuring that I don't lose water due to overflow since my greenhouse is downhill from the house. additionally I would like to prevent the pump from running if the water level is too low. I believe the water level low situation can be handled by the rain sensor function but I have not found a way to automate the filling function.
 Ideally the logic behind this function would be:
   If water level = low then run pump for 30 seconds
   if max runtime not exceeded loop.
I am not versed in python but I'm willing to try to learn

Hello, the other day I found i2c relay modules, 16 relays and XL9535, in Chinese stores. And it would be great if someone wrote a complement, because it would greatly simplify the construction of projects, thank you and great job.

When I use the Curl method the Navigation stated does not work it instead types characters on screen. any ideas ?

Hi,
I've just upgraded to the newest SIP version and I have the following problem:

Traceback (most recent call last):

Any Help ?

After attempting to update SIP software from my Pi's SIP page, SIP no longer functions and shows the following error when attempting to run sudo python sip.py:

Trackback (most recent call last):
File "sip.py", line 21, in <module>
import gv
File "/home/pi/SIP/gv.py", line 22
ver_str = f"{major_ver}.{minor_ver}.{revision - old_count}"

SyntaxError: invalid syntax

I was hoping to please get some help or feedback making my system work again? This system was running fine for 3 years until I attempted this update.

After a reboot the MQTT plugin is intialised before the network is up, more specifically before dhcp has assigned an address

If there is a newer version of a plugin available how do I install it?

As far as I can see UPDATE ENABLED only enables/disables plugins by changing the .py file permissions. So the only way is to uninstall the plugin and reinstall it, losing the setting in the process.

In plugin_manager.py should update_plugins() not call install_plugins() one way or another?

Another option might be to have three separate functions Enable/Disable, Update and Uninstall

Hi Dan, herewith a very newbie question from the Netherlands. I like to start with conveying my compliments for the SIP program and the work that you're are doing.

As mentioned I'm a newbie and glad that I have SIP now running on a Raspberry Pi 3. I'm able to control it in mine network with iPad and iMac, so far so good. Also ssh connecting to the Pi is working and so I have the ability to make changes etc.

I like to control it later on from outside my network. Therefor I did a lot of searching on this forum and the internet. Finally I installed PiVPN on the raspberry pi and used the wifi adres. Furthermore installed OpenVPN on the iPad and did some changes in the router. OpenVPN comes with an app and with the oven file created on the Pi I'm able to make the connection between the iPad and the raspberry pi.

So until here no issues although I have to admit it was a lot of reading, trying and following instruction without exactly understanding what I was doing. No worries passwords etc are secured so no open gates on router, iPad of pi.

I was wondering of there is a instruction, manual on setting this OpenVPN - PiVPN connection?
Because I'm now puzzling how to reach the SIP homepage on the raspberry pi via this connection. As mentioned I'm able to connect but I have no idea what the next step is.
Do I need to do something in the OpenVPN app on the iPad with proxy??????


best regards, Martin
