Custom Monitoring
-
I have been playing with this issue on/off for maybe 2 years. I am trying to monitor run time of my bilge pumps. I have a Yacht Device Run Indicator installed. This monitors Voltage and Current for each of the 4 bilge pumps. It also supports Virtual Switches that I can turn on/off based on rules. ATM the moment I am just trying to see how I can view this data in SL. In Monitoring, If I add a section then go to add a field, it gives me an option of "electrical.switches.bank.107.Port Bilge Eng. Current.state" That label had to come from me but I can no longer figure out where that was set. I have the Virtual Switch plugin installed which creates Virtual Switches starting at 107. In the data browser I can see electrical.switches.bank.1.5, 1.6, 1.7, 1.8 which I think is the native 4 switches for my 4 bilge pumps and electrical.switches.bank.107.1, 107.2, 107.3, 107.4 which are the Virtual switches associated with the plugin that I enabled. None of these appear as options when attempting to add a data point. Any insight is appreciated.

UPDATE: I noticed I had 2 different devices reporting as battery.0, 1 of which was the YDRI. I was able to change that to 4. So I can now see current and voltage for the bilge pump. However, if I try to add those batteries to the monitoring setup page, they do not show under available fields in the drop down.

UPDATE 2: Not sure what happened but now I am seeing all of the Electrical Switch/Battery fields which were previously not present.
