25 daysMikeMills (133): * Fixed Regular stream derivation issues: - Stream was not deriving from start of dependent data when it was empty and derive on Any Arrival was set - Derivation could fail if there is a lot of dependents with a lot of samples (over 550k samples). - The above issue caused derivation cycle runtimes to double for all clients for a couple of days. They are back to normal now. * Fixed an issue causing auto org creation from blueprints when a...

Downloading Data at Different Intervals

11 daysMThomas (1): Hi Mike, Thanks for the suggestion, I'm attempting to make it work. What do I pass for cycle ID to do 1 minute? When I try 'hour' it works, but when I try 'minute' it fails. Is cycle Id something I need to setup? Edit: I was able to figure out it's ID is 'min' from the tools section in the GS admin tools. But now I'm getting the following error:...

Right click on the store folders, choose properties, and check the security tab. Aren't there errors in the Org's System Notifications when the zip file is empty? We did some work in this area last week to improve backup times. We could've...

Best way to temporary stop access to Grovestreams

pat

2

3 monthsMikeMills (133): You can only restrict access to organizations and there's no easy way to popup a message. That being said... If I were to do it today, this is what I'd do: 1. Create a User Group with no Capabilities and add all users to that group. Remove them from other groups. 2. If you subscribe with the "Business Pro" plan, you could also add the Group to each Root folder and Deny Traverse rights. Instead of a Popup, you could possibly rename...

Lock this in the Template editor. When reconciling (for pricing plans that support this), the component reference will...

Removed Component Studio

MikeMills

4 monthsMikeMills (133): All component studio objects have been moved into Observation Studio under a 3rd content store called "Tools". https://forum.grovestreams.com/cached/c807d5423541a8cda6f09f6206cf1781.png User/Group security can be set on all Tools folders if your pricing plan supports role based security.

OAuth 2.0 Authorization code grant?

glyde_lab651

3

4 monthsMikeMills (133): We've done this. OAuth 2.0 authorization is a good way to not hard code an api_key on devices. With OAuth 2.0, a device gets registered by the user and it holds onto an authorization token and a refresh token and uses those for secure access api calls. Amazon Alexa now uses our OAuth 2.0 authorization servers. More information here: https://www.grovestreams.com/developers/oauth.html

Add/Remove Action Event via API

MThomas

2

5 monthsMikeMills (133): Yes. Many of our APIs are documented but the best way to know and learn them is through the Web UI since it is built with the API. Open Chrome, Hit F12, watch the Network debug tab to see api calls made and what is returned (Usually JSON). Watch the calls made while performing them in the UI such as creating or editing an event action on an event action package.

6 monthsMikeMills (133): Email sending has been slow lately (like 20 minutes to get an email). We use an Amazon AWS email service and it started throttling us lately because our daily email numbers are becoming large. We've put in a request to increase our Amazon email quotas. It should be resolved soon.

tokp

1 yeartokp (1): Perfect, got it to work as long as I used the reset cycle set to none which is fine since I can reset every year. "To force the Derived stream to fully recalculate - right click on it and select "Delete all time series data". Then wait for a minute or so." - I am glad you included that, I have been waiting a day to see data come in to check my derivations. Resetting speeds up my testing a lot! Thanks for your help

1 yearMikeMills (133): @Trakk "And the last temperature logged at those times." Getting the last temp for the Day or Hour is easy. Choose a Day, or Hour, cycle with the LAST function. This will return the last sample value for that cycle. You can choose Cycles and functions (min,max,sum,last, ...) in Dashboard widgets or in a derived stream expression. "I want to be able to get the total on time each hour of the day." I'm still thinking about...

Data storage period

fisa7

1 yearMikeMills (133): Unlimited time if configured correctly. Data retention will default to 2 years via the "Delete Profile" selected by a Stream's definition. Change the Delete Profile to retain the data longer: 1. Edit the component, choose the stream, select a different Delete Profile 2. Change the new-stream-default: Admin-Organization-General Settings-New Stream Defaults

Derivation error - why?

ctmorrison

4

1 yearctmorrison (10): Not what I was doing -- at least I had no intention of doing this. The new stream I created looked identical in all ways to the one that was throwing errors. Kind of academic at this point -- I already deleted the "bad" streams. Thanks

Event stream change?

1 yearctmorrison (10): Hmmm...I had already fixed the issue to avoid nuisance alerts, but I still am uncomfortable with what happened. We'll see if it happens again.

Import data from and old component to a new component

pat

3

1 yearpat (1): HI, Yes sorry for that question. It was because I had a component_template filled in one case and not in the other case. So it was creating a new component instead of feeding the previous one. -> Method 1 is the good one ! Thanks

Local SQL database

edwar210

2

1 yearMikeMills (133): You'd have to use our API to pull from GS and Push into a SQL database. Or if the SQL database has some kind of HTTP interface, you could setup a stream data Arrival event to make the HTTP call with the new data into SQL.

Smartthings API errors

1 yearMikeMills (133): You can't edit it in the mobile site anymore? Did you attempt to edit it in the studio and save it? If so, it will corrupt the dashboard.

my esp8266 code doesn't work

nab96

2

2 yearsMikeMills (133): Use GS API tracing to see if your call is even making it to your GS organization. Also, check your organization System Notifications for any errors. Our web server logs indicate that your call is not even making it to our web servers. This can indicate several potential problems: 1) Your URL is not formatted correctly. Trace it out to the debug console window and paste it into a URL validator website to ensure it is a valid URL. 2) Your board...

Uploading historical data via PHP

Create component from Template

crevicedweller

3

2 yearsMikeMills (133): To create a component with all of its known streams at the same time when a component makes its first call, just set the compTmplId parameter. If you want to create a new stream based on a template stream after a component has already been created use both of these parameters in the URL: dtId dsId From https://www.grovestreams.com/developers/api.html : These parameters are used to dynamically create streams for a component if they do not...

Stream Data I/O blocked even though no data was sent

Eugene

2 yearsMikeMills (133): All I/O is considered. This includes when you leave a dashboard open with a fast polling rate. See this thread: https://forum.grovestreams.com/topic/65/page/1/what-are-billable-transactions/ Email us at our info or support email address (include your GS account email address) and we'll reset you're data I/O so you can keep going.

httpie PUT failed

kevin

5

2 yearsMikeMills (133): I don't think we'll accept a x-www-form-urlencoded type. Maybe try not setting the content-type to see if anything will get through. Usually, 401 will indicate that your api_key is invalid or we can't parse the URL to get extract the api_key. But... I searched our server logs for "compId=Sensors&temp=24.5" and nothing came up so I don't even think the call is making it to our servers. Try it again with a compId to something...

2 yearsAvocadodude (1): Thank you for all the help! There was a parameter in the Gateway called "Offset from GMT in minutes" and it was set to an odd value. I set it to '0' and all is good now and reads the correct time in my timezone.

2 yearsJLS (1): Thank you Mike, this worked great!

Modifing Arduino example template

OldNerd

7

2 yearsMikeMills (133): Ensure that the value the device is passing up is compatible with the Stream Value Type. For example, it might be passing up "10.3 C" (as a string) and the stream has a value type of FLOAT. It won't be able to convert "10.3 C" to a float. It could convert "10.3". That could be why a reconcile is failing. Just a guess.

2 yearspat (1): :eek: WHAT A BIG CHANGE ! Looks good and the time range works also with the map. I like it. :)

Component IDs must be unique

pat

8

2 yearsMikeMills (133): Usually creating a component is fast - a few milliseconds, but you're creating it with a lot of streams so it could take longer like a second or two. Issues with the network between the device and GS could occasionally add time too.

2 yearsMikeMills (133): Maybe this thread will help: https://forum.grovestreams.com/topic/65/what-are-billable-transactions/ Big things: * decrease the data being uploaded/downloaded. Try making your device stream IDs short; instead of an ID of "temperature", try "t" . * Don't leave dashboards open with a fast refresh rate (like every 5 seconds). * Decrease the interval time the studio looks for new notifications (Org Studio - Admin -...

Read user only

pat

2

2 yearsMikeMills (133): You can make Observation Studio read-only but it requires subscribing to the Business Pro or Enterprise pricing plan. Under those plans, a user can right click on folders, dashboards, maps, and components and configure the rights on them. One right is Read-Only.
