I just set up my Aquaero 6 PRO. The Aquasuite software allows to setup logging of sensors plugged in to the Aquaero and exporting the information (including temperatures, fan speeds, flow rates etc.) to an xml file in a user configurable interval (e.g. 1 second).
I think it would be great if GOverlay could read this file and display the information. Writing such a plugin wouldn't probably be hard at all, but I don't think I have enough experience to get anything working out of it. Maybe someone could give a go at making a plugin?
Here's just an example of the xml file the Aquasuite generates. This is a simplified example with just two temperature readings (called Ambient Temperature and Water Temperature).
- Code: Select all
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LogDataExport xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<name>Aquaero Log</name>
<exportTime>2014-08-25T08:46:56.4594025+03:00</exportTime>
<logdata>
<LogDataSet>
<t>2014-08-25T08:46:55.858</t>
<value>23.71</value>
<name>Ambient Temperature</name>
<unit>°C</unit>
<valueType>Temperature</valueType>
<device>aquaero</device>
</LogDataSet>
<LogDataSet>
<t>2014-08-25T08:46:55.858</t>
<value>31.23</value>
<name>Water Temperature</name>
<unit>°C</unit>
<valueType>Temperature</valueType>
<device>aquaero</device>
</LogDataSet>
</logdata>
</LogDataExport>
I'll be happy to provide additional information when and if it's needed if somebody is up to writing a plugin or helping me do it. There is also an SDK available for the Aquasuite here in case it's useful.
Thanks for reading and let me know if there is interest in something like this and how we should proceed with it.
