Has anyone found a way to "read" or "export" a significant number of events?

[C8 2.3.8.134]

I have a large number of event entries for my whole house energy monitor. I'm trying to copy this data for use in excel etc. Even copying to a text file would be fine. There seems to be ~200 entries a day for 7 or 8 days.

However I've only been able to capture a screen or couple of screen's worth of data at a time. If I try to copy more the browser freezes. I've tried MS Edge, Qpera & LibreWolf with the same results.

I can save the events as an HTML file (size about 6.1 Meg) however when I open it with any of the above browsers or MS word.

When I open the html in any browser it flashes the first page then goes to:

Anyone have any thoughts as what to try?

Thanks

You could try Long Term Storage(LTS) in webcore. It will create a file as shown below that you could download off your HUB. It is just a text file.

The file in my case contains about 1000 data points and that is for 2 days. You can save up to a year or more but the file will get pretty big. This file according to the HUB file manager is 32K.

How about using Rule Machine to append a file?
I just tried it with my Aeotec HEM, which is taking a reading every 5 seconds.
Of course, I don't know how to get the seconds exposed, but maybe someone does. :slight_smile:

I figured it out: it gives you a choice on format. I don't know why I didn't see that the first time:

Many users, including myself, use InfluxDB and Grafana running on an always-on local 'server'. I personally use a Home Assistant Yellow, with a 1TB NVME SSD drive, to run both InfluxDB and Grafana. I also use it to host Node-RED, NUT, and various local HomeKit devices (to allow them to be used locally with Hubitat.)

I figured out I could make several local variables and log them to a local file at a time interval I choose. I chose every10 seconds. However, I have the device basically geared towards power logging, every 5 seconds, and energy, every 10 minutes, with the other parameters turned off. It does seem possible though. I thought it was interesting, and who knows, maybe I will use it in the future, lol.

Right now I'm trying webcore as suggested by @terminal3. I'll stay with this for a while and see how it goes. Maybe I'll try RM later on.

In the past I've use node-red with no issues, I just don't feel like running another computer just to get some data.
