heatpumpMonitor

Is it possible to forward measured values to another (Linux) device the heatpumpMonitor is not running on?

Asked by alphaomega

Hello,
is it possible to forward measured values to another (Linux) device the heatpumpMonitor is not running on?
I capture some values with heatpumpMonitor on my Cisco/ Linksys NSLU2 (NAS) and can view them on its web server.
In addition, I have digitemp and rrdtool/ rrdstats running on my AVM Fritzbox 7170 (router), which I can also view (on port 85 of my router).
Now I would like to kind of "forward" the data from the heatpumpMonitor (running on NSLU2) to the Fritzbox (also Linux), and I wonder if/ how this is possible. E.g. I could imagine to use ser2net, but I have no clue how to a) send the data from NSLU2 to Fritzbox and b) how to process/ integrate the data for rrdtool/ rrdstats (running on Fritzbox).
I understand that my questions are a little be beyond the scope of these project pages, but maybe some readers have already found a solution these questions or have at least an idea how to proceed.
Thanks in advance and best regards, alphaomega

I'm not sure I understand the question correctly.

Do you want:

a, make the serial port accessable via network to an other linux system?
b, do you want to replicate the rrd database to the remote host
c, do you want to replicate the images to the remote host

Well, option b would give the best opportunities, I believe.
But then ser2net is maybe not the right thing (would be for option a, I guess).

so here the answer for b:

you can define in heatpumpmonitor.ini the option "copyCommand". In the default config if does an upload of the graphs but it can easily be changed to rsync the database to a remote host. Just execute a custom script which does what you need.
