Hello,
I have a hub at a second property that i want to view graphed data from. I tried WebCore but that seems to only work locally. Am i seeing it up wrong? Any way of doing it without seeing up a VPN? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thank you
One option you could look at would be cloud instances of InfluxDB and Grafana. The influxDB Logger Smartapp supports output to the cloud.
If you don't want to go with @mavrrick58's suggestion, set up a VPN to each property. That way it will be read locally on your phone/pc

A VPN really isnt an option as I am trying to make it simple for people other than me to access. A VPN is beyond their skillset and beyond what i was hoping to have to keep up with.
Thank you
Thank you for your suggestion. I will look at it, but i was hoping soemthing native to the hub that I could integrate into a dashboard. I have more than just me accessing it and their skill level needs it to be very straight forward or they just wont use it.
Yeah the issue is since it's stored locally, it uses a local IP which cannot be access from the internet. So exporting to cloud grafana/influxdb would be the way to go for you. After the initial setup, it's pretty transparent to the end user.
What type of data are you wanting to view on a chart? What kind of time period and frequency of data points on the chart? What kind of devices will be being used to access the charts? And what are you wanting the people looking at the charts to be able to get out of them?
What do you want to see graphed?
You could access my Log/Chart app easily through a VPN. It does line-charts entirely on-device. I'm adding new charts currently; any requests?
I understand that it is accessed through a local IP address with WebCore. Just wasnt sure if there was a way to change that. I have been using Tile Builder and that creates tiles that are accessible and work without being on the local network. It just doesnt have a graph option.
Take a look at TailScale and see if it would work for your application.
"Tailscale makes creating software-defined networks easy: securely connecting users, services, and devices."
It is free for small users and easy to setup.
A VPN is not an option. Thank you
I did this as a demonstration, but it does produce graphs locally and through the cloud interface.
Another approach (haven’t tested it with webCoRE graphs yet):

Thank you, I will have to do some testing to make sure that this will do what I am looking for, but it looks promising right now. I was not sure from the other thread how to get the chart to show on the dashboard, but I will give it a shot and ask questions there if needed. Just need time to get back to it.
Thank you,
Need to grab the URL and use an iFrame tile device to display it. (I have one at: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/thebearmay/hubitat/main/tileIframe.groovy if you need one).
