Bwired Googlemaps upload data webservice

[appie]

Hi all,

I like to add my data to the web service but I have no idea how to get the data out of my system into a XML file.

I’m using xComfort with IP-Symcon.

Someone a idea or better, already a script to do this?

Thanks,

Albert

Hi Pieter,

I like to use your domotica map also, see my XML;

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<BWired>
	<Init>
		<DateTime>07-08-2012 12:09:35</DateTime>
		<UserName>ludom</UserName>

		<Title>Ludom's Online Home</Title>
	</Init>
	<Entry>
		<Name>Temperature Outside</Name>
		<ID>0</ID>
		<Units>C</Units>
		<Value>17.5</Value>
	</Entry>
	<Entry>
		<Name>Temperature Inside</Name>
		<ID>1</ID>
		<Units>C</Units>
		<Value>21</Value>
	</Entry>
</BWired>

I also created a PHP class for posting the data, I'd like to share this with other forum members. When my first data posts are succesfull I will share the code here

Hi Ludom
i see your googlemaps XML's coming in on my Bwired server
your set to go now!

[ludom]

Nice, it's working

I tweaked my PHP class a bit and is now ready to use (see attachment).

Hi,

I try to get this working with the script of Ludom but I don’t see the XML file.

See the review echo below from the script, is this enough for sending my XML string upload to the WebService of BWired?

I need to put you in the database also, i will check my server and do this

[Bwired]

Appie, should work now, start uploading.
I have seen your XML on my server.

Great, it’s working .......

A few questions:
- I had some problem with the little o in the oC, is there a way to put this in the code?
- Is there a way to put a blank line into the sensor data?

Hi Albert,

The echo is just for testing purposes. When you enable the echo and test it in your webbrowser you can press ctrl-U to open the page source, there you will find the full XML structure. When you use the POST function the data will be passed to Bwired.

For using the degrees celsius sign you can use an UTF-8 / ASCII code;

For degrees celsius you can use;
°C

Hi Ludom,

When I put this in the code no XML upload is send to BWired. I don’t see a error, but in the echo I see the °C and not the oC.
Maybe this is because I’m running the code inside IP-Symcon, I’m not sure?

Code: Select all

$bwired->addEntry('Temperature Outside:', 1, '°C', $temp_out);

Is there a way to make a blank line, to separate the different sensor groups?

Hi Albert,

Thats weird! I am using the same code at my side and that's working fine.

It could be something with charset encoding (UTF-8, etc.), what happens when you place non ASCII version of the sign ? so copy-paste the following;

Code: Select all

°C

What about the blank lines, I think this is possible, but I don't know how Pieter is processing this, maybe he truncates empty values/records before inserting it in his Database, you could give It a try by adding some empty Entries or entering some spaces in the entry name and values.

Ludom,

When I put the o in of the oC no data is shown in GoogleMaps. A space is no problem, all uploaded data is shown.

I don’t know if the data is send or not processed by BWired, but I see other location with the o. Maybe BWired is reading this and could tell us if it’s something in my script. Is there code I can put in to do something with the UTF-8?

For the blank line, I tried to use the addEntry for this but can’t find the way to clear all text in it. Is there a way to do this with addEntry? When I put this line in all data below is not presented.

Code: Select all

$bwired->addEntry('  ', 7, '  ', NULL);

Hi Bwired,

No didn't saw that page from this topic, but I have seen it now.

I tested this at my side and the UTF-8 code for degrees celsius "#186;" works. Because i am using PHP i need to parse this as "º" and that works perfectly with the PHP class. The degrees celsius sign is displayed fine on the map.

@appie
Use the following code which should work;

Code: Select all

$bwired->addEntry('Temperature Outside:', 1, 'ºC', $temp_out);
