History of Water Usage by Zone

jsjames · June 29, 2018, 3:36pm

Thanks!! This will be very helpful!!

Linn · July 17, 2018, 7:23pm

Any progress updates?

franz · July 17, 2018, 8:51pm

@Linn It’s already out

azdavidr · July 17, 2018, 9:02pm

Cool @franz. It’s only available from the web UI I assume ?

franz · July 17, 2018, 9:04pm

I’m being told zone savings will be out soon.

Linn · July 17, 2018, 10:07pm

Am I doing something wrong? I ran the download today before I asked about the status, and all I get is still gallons (not minutes) by day.

Linn · July 17, 2018, 10:09pm

I can only get the download to work from the web UI on my Windows PC — I can click on it from the web UI on my iPad, but nothing happens. I guess that makes sense.

franz · July 17, 2018, 10:10pm

I see gallons and minutes?

Linn · July 17, 2018, 10:13pm

Mea Culpa!!! I can’t read!!! — but it’s still only by the day, so it’s no help in my mix of different types of zones. When you said “zone savings” I hope you meant by the data by zone?

franz · July 17, 2018, 10:38pm

Each zone is downloadable…is that what you are looking for?

Linn · July 17, 2018, 10:44pm

hmmmm … I guess that my interpretation of this was that it could all be downloaded with just one quick and easy click of the button, rather than doing it over and over. So a single file that would look something like this:

azdavidr · July 18, 2018, 4:34am

Weird. I get a header that says ‘hours’ and not ‘minutes’.

I can’t find that option. The only ‘download’ button I see is on the home page, and after hitting the bars to show zone details. Both download an average version for the day like the snapshot above. Where are the options to download by zone?

azdavidr · July 18, 2018, 4:36am

Same here! I’m also wondering how long of a history will be maintained ? The longer the better, although I’m sure there’s some impact on your side.

harcosk · July 18, 2018, 4:37am

@Linn - Yep. I was hoping to click on the “Download” link from the Home screen on the Web App and get all of the data for all of the zones… kinda like the sample layout above. I do like that the “per zone” file is cumulative and not just the current month (or results in another popup to select ranges). For those with a 16 zone controller. hitting all the zones (or 15 in my case) takes quite a bit of time, unless you write a script (python, VB) to download each file with one click.

@azdavidr

Navigate to the Zones tab and select any Zone. Scroll down and you should fine the ‘Download’ link underneath the monthly usage, the same location it exists on the Home tab. If you still don’t see it, please try a Cmd (Ctrl for PC) + Shift + R on your keyboard to hard refresh your browser.

@Linn @harcosk,

Thank you for the valuable feedback, I agree that there’s definitely room for improvement around this feature in the future. As Franz had mentioned, we are still planning on additional improvements such as adding individual savings calculations very shortly.

For now, we wanted to ensure that this data was available to anyone relying on it. Definitely keep an eye out for future updates!

harcosk · July 18, 2018, 4:52am

No problem on providing feedback. I do appreciate the ability to even get the information by zone. I look forward to seeing improvements here with the main goal of calculating cost actuals (with the least effort).

azdavidr · July 18, 2018, 5:01am

That did the trick, thanks!

So for how far back will we see data when we download ?

Thanks!!

So for how far back will we see data when we download ?

You should be able to see all the way back to the controller’s birthday

azdavidr · July 18, 2018, 5:10am

Sweet. Thanks for the quick responses !

Linn · July 18, 2018, 12:44pm

That was my real data back on 8/20/15!!! It’s really neat to see it that far back!
