NutCase and Homepage

[movieboy]

I have NUTCase configured for three UPS units. They display correctly in NUTCase, but when I try to add them to homepage I don't get anything. I have noticed that if I look at the raw JSON data for any of the three, I always see the data for all three units. Is that correct?

Hi there, yes that sounds like expected behaviour. You can display the data from one ups, or indeed a combination of variables from any of the three devices, by specifying the JSON path of the values you want to display, taking care to use the correct ups device name each time. If you want to display data from each ups on a number of custom API widgets then you would need to specify multiple hits on nutcase with the same target. Homepage has a glitch in that each widget needs a different name or else the same data will be repeated for each one, watch for that one!

Ok, so if this is my url: http://x.x.x.x:9995/json?addr=y.y.y.y&dev=APC-1. (x.x.x.x is my nutcase server and y.y.y.y is my nut-uspd server)

Should I only see the data for APC-1? I currently see data for all three.

This is in my services.yaml:

- Nutcase UPS:
    href: http://x.x.x.x:9995?addr=y.y.y.y&dev=APC-1&mode=nut
    description: APC-1
    icon: http://x.x.x.x:9995/static/favicon.ico
    widget:
      type: customapi
      url: http://x.x.x.x:9995/json?target=x.x.x.x:3493&dev=APC-1
      refreshInterval: 60000 # In milliseconds, set to ~60s
      method: GET
      mappings:
        - field:
            ups: nutcase.battery.runtime
          label: Runtime

OK, I think I have it now. So my issue was with my services.yaml file.

I had the entry under field as "ups:" and it should have been the NAME of the ups unit!!

It SHOULD have been as follows:

• Nutcase UPS:
  href: http://x.x.x.x:9995?addr=y.y.y.y&dev=APC-1&mode=nut
  description: APC-1
  icon: http://x.x.x.x:9995/static/favicon.ico
  widget:
  type: customapi
  url: http://x.x.x.x:9995/json?target=x.x.x.x:3493&dev=APC-1
  refreshInterval: 60000 # In milliseconds, set to ~60s
  method: GET
  mappings:
  - field:
  APC-1: battery.runtime
  label: Runtime

Ok, that’s great. The other issue which I realise the wiki doesn’t make clear is that the dev parameter on the URL is only applicable to the / path (I.e. the GUI) and doesn’t get used for the /raw or /json end points. I’ll edit that at the weekend when I get home. Sorry for the omission
