AFAIK there is no xsd. But i think the examples posted in this topic are sufficient for you to create something that will be accepted and get you on the map.
I understand why an XSD is a good thing, however in this case i think referring to an XSD would scare people from trying to implement uploading to Bwired. Producing XML is one thing, using XSD is maybe a little to much to ask for, considering most members are here for domotica, not for IT.[:)]

<br />Hi I created a .net c# class to send data to Bwired. Not sure if the data will arrive, but I sent some.

Is there a description available of the data formats that can be send? Maybe an xsd, that would be the best?

You are authorized now, so start sending and you're on the map!
You are number 25!
Thanks.

Welkom MO046'S INFO (Maurice) te Schinnen, limburg ook op de kaart nu
Geweldig veel data ook!

As I said before, I created a simple class (C# .net 3.5) to upload sensor data. I added a small console program to show how it can be used. I included the complete Visual Studio 2008 solution. as the code is not relying on special features of C# .net 3.5 it is also easy to use it in .net 2.0.

Extract with subdirectories!!

Suggestions and comments are welcome, code is subject to change

Pieter, I included highs and lows for humidity and temperature. However to include the timestamp of these highs and lows these cannot be added to the value field because the timestamp will than be displayed between the value and the unit, e.g. '10.4 (12/03/2009 11:04:12) C'. For this reason I added the timestamp to the unit field, 'C (12/03/2009 11:04:12)'. But this means I added dynamic data to a more or less static field which might cause problems with any future developments. Is there a better way to do this?

Rene.

wow... growing rapidly!!

<hr height="1" noshade id="quote"></font id="quote"></blockquote id="quote">I have low and high values in my database as well. If your temp etc. comes in I check for Low and High values and save it in your record with date and time. But it's not applicable for all devices and everybody has other devicename So like dutchnomad is telling we need some kind off standard, but then again I don't want to make it to difficult like XSD's etc.

Hi All,
First welcome Lennart on the map!

I have added the Element <UTCTimeZone></UTCTimeZone> in the Init section of the XML.
There is no need to ADD this element if you are on Dutch time, the Bwired webservice can handle both XML layouts with or without the timezone element.
Values for the Timezone can be like -5, -4, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 etc, if not filled Bwired local time will be set.
Sooty is it possible to update Xml2Bwired configuration tool for Homeseer, No Hurry! In the first topic you can see the new XML layout. (thanks to Willem for the info)

@Pieter: Thanks, everything seems to work fine using Pauls configuration tool.

@Paul: Would it be possible to extend the number of devices to upload to - let's say - 15 or 20?

Thanks!

Lennart

Hi Lennart.

It seems like ages since we met. Are you keeping OK.

I will add the time zone option and increase the devices to 20 tomorrow.

Paul..

<font size="1"><i>Bwired: Thanks Paul!</i></font id="size1">

I have added the time zone option (General Settings) and increased the maximum number of devices to 20.

The download links further up this post have been updated.
This version can just be installed over the top of the previous version.

Paul..

Thank you Paul , i'll try that. Then, i've just bought an OREGON weather station wmr928, but i don't have RFXCOM. i was thinking to use virtual weather station, extract csv data and use VWS plugin for Homeseer, then use you utility. It should work.

Hi Paul,

Indeed, almost half a year ago...

Anyway, thanks for increasing the number of devices. I installed the new version on top of the previous version (using the pending.txt and the zip). Everything works, except when adding the 11th device . I'm getting this error:

Lennart,

I have uploaded version 0.0.0.4.

This fixes the issue when adding the 11th device.

Paul..
