Hi Dave! I already moved your thread. Thank you for the suggestion - it was a good one! Jon

PS - I like the dashboard(s) you created - excellent work!

[Dave]

Thanks Jon
I’m always up for improving things thou.

If you did anything special, different or custom in your dashboard(s) you may want to write up that info as part of your post. That would help people like me (no creative talent!)

I don’t have dashboard advice to offer - I struggle with making a good useful dashboard so I usually take bits and pieces from others. Many of the items you’ve displayed look great but I don’t have a clue how to create them!

Dave - Thank you for adding the details! I have one concern about the post:

EmonCMS Showcase

@Jon I like your idea of putting a tutorial on how people built there dashboard, so here goes. REMEMBER TO MAKE YOUR CARD WRITEABLE BEFORE MODIFYING ANYTHING. >>> “rpi-rw” First you need to get access to the files on your server, as I have a emonpi i install an FTP server: $ sudo apt-get install vsftpd $ sudo nano /etc/vsftpd.conf CHANGE THE FOLLOWING OPTIONS… anonymous_enable=NO local_enable=YES write_enable=YES local_umask=022 $ sudo service vsftpd start You can now FTP to your emon…

 
I have an emonPi also and there is a SFTP already installed. The “S” is either for Secure or for SSH. I access it via port 22:

sftp://[email protected]/

I can browse, view and edit most every file. I bring this up since FTP may not be well secured and users may not need to install FTP. Give it a try and see if it meets your needs.

I never knew that Jon, agreed there’s no need to remake the wheel.
