update historic data via api

[JanJaap]

I had a problem with the plugin for one of my solarpanels. I have the data from the app and now want to load that via the json api as per instructions here:
https://wiki.domoticz.com/Domoticz_API/ ... ed_counter

So I compile the following URL:
http://<my ip>:8080/json.htm?type=command&param=udevice&idx=490&nvalue=0&svalue=5349003;26900;2025-05-22

Response in the browser:

However no data added for May 22:

What am I doing wrong? Tried for different date's, same result

Is there already data for the 25th? Because then you will get 2 database entries for the same date in the meter_calendar table and that cause trouble. It will not over write the data it will add an entry and probably just use the first one it will find (the old one)

[JanJaap]

ok, so I deleted the 0 data via the json api successfully. Shows now the following on:
http://<my iP>:8080/json.htm?type=command&param=graph&sensor=counter&idx=490&range=2025-05-17T2025-05-25

but when trying to update a value for the 18th using:
http://<my ip>:8080/json.htm?type=command&param=udevice&idx=490&nvalue=0&svalue=5247603;17600;2025-05-18
and reply:

Then there is no change still. Not in the graph, not in the API. Any idea's?

This is just updating that actual sValue of the device with (probably) invalid data, but not as you expect do an update for a certain date in the history.

[JanJaap]

Wel it is listed as the option to update the device history on the wiki. So I would expect updating the svalue to be reflected in the graph?

Additionally, I'd expect a NOK on invalid data (but maybe that's just me being optimistic )

You're right ..... I see it now too and learned something today. Sorry about that.

[JanJaap]

OK I ran some test with bogus data: Still getting the same, nice 'ok' reply so guess that does not give much guidance......

[waltervl]

Check the database values. I think update here means adding a row for that date as I explained before. So not overwriting the existing value. At least that is what happens on my counter device that I maintain this way.

[JanJaap]

That's just what i did: delete the old values first, check (on te api) there's no value and the try to onsert e new one. Still, no success. Can you share you're method?

[waltervl]

I use the same method as you for a kwh General Instant and counter device::

Code: Select all

http://MY-IP:8080/json.htm?type=command&param=udevice&idx=407&nvalue=0&svalue=187721000;-368000;2025-05-31

The value will always be added to the end of the table so it depends of the sorting you use when you see it.

My solution is add the missing or change wrong data in the right table with 'phpliteadmin.php' manually, and that did always work so far.
You have to install the php file which you will find here: https://www.phpliteadmin.org/download/
On some distributions you can just install it.
