[SOLVED] Indicator Widget, Total Time Based on X?

Data management
1

@aguspg thanks for your help on the last widget. New widget question. ( Green horn here). If i wanted to do a sum total for a variable when a value exceeds 100 how would you do it?

So to be clear. Sensor one > 100 I want to sum the time that it was greater then 100 and display that time as a new variable. I am playing with it myself but wanted to touch base. Doesnt appear I can do a sum?

Hi Herner, if I got this right, you want to count the time that a variable is above 100. If so, the current widgets won’t support it, however, I would try to compute this value from the source and post it as a separate variable.

For example, let’s say you’re posting a temperature every second (I’ll use a python-like sintaxis):

while (1):
    x = get_temp()        //Get your value
    temp.save_value(x)    //Save value to Ubidots
    time.sleep(1)

What I’d do is to include an additional variable that counts that time:

while (1):
    x = get_temp()        //Get your value
    var_temp.save_value(x)    //Save value to Ubidots
    if x > 100:
        counter = counter + 1
    var_time.save_value(counter)
    time.sleep(1)

Hope this helps!

On the other hand, if you’re looking to do a sum of the values of a variable (not the time) you can use this endpoint to compute it automatically (although it wouldn’t support conditions like ‘x > 100’):

Thanks for the reply. I was hoping to do it from a widget ( tried and failed ). The more I can keep OFF my hardware the better due to limitations on the device.

Back to the drawing board :slight_smile: Who do I email to ask some questions about white labeling and getting a feel for how it will work with our needs?

Hello @Herner, sure! let’s move this conversation via Email.
