This is a bit embarassing. I read through the thread and saw several mentions of an "Examiner" child. Where do I find that child?
I just installed Hub Watchdog through HPM and created two Device Watchdog Children. Each is watching a single contact sensor. I set up reports for temperature, status, and activity on each. I can view individual reports on them. But I don't see any "Examiner".
I read through things and I'm still a little lost on proper set up of devices for data output. I have 3 seperate child apps with different test devices in each and they all are reporting to the same Virtual Data device. Is this correct?
Also what exactly are the Examiner Child apps for?
I first setup the app as test every 3 hours, then changed it to ever 1 hour, and now I am testing every 30 mins. I have not see any negative impact to lowering the test intervals.
What is the Median Delay intended to represent? I was expecting that half of the readings would be less than the Median Delay and the other half would be greater. However, when I look at the raw data, that is usually not true.
I think I have a weird edge case. I setup my hub watchdog before Bryan implemented the 40-test limit. As a result, I have historical test data in the tile devices that extend beyond the 40 tests and show up in datapoints3, datapoints4, etc. Now, I only display datapoints1 & 2 on my dashboard, so I never really cared (just ignored it) until I realized those old test results affect the summary statistics (e.g., max, min). And if I ClearData, these old readings don't get cleared.
I suppose a simple option is to delete the tile devices and start over, but I have multiple hubs and always look for the more elegant solution (OCD anyone?). Anyone else face this situation? Appreciate any ideas....
EDIT: @bptworld, hey Bryan, did you notice this? Sorry to bump old thread.
I'm trying to install Hub Watchdog with no sucess. First, it does not appear to be in Package Manager. I tried import zip using permalink (Hubitat/HubWatchdog.zip at c7f5343728b6fdeb9d86218f3b9646808d7164af · bptworld/Hubitat · GitHub) and it says "cannot process bundle". Then I downloaded the zip and tried uploading to my hub, looked promising but got error, "library not found on line 43: #include BPTWorld.bpt-normalStuff"
Am I doing something obviously wrong?
Bryan withdrew all his releases from Package Manager. He released Bundle Manager, which is an alternative package management system. Lots of discussion regarding this in the forums. This thread is a good read. I believe that most developers have continued with Package Manager. Some perhaps have moved to Bundle Manager, and some perhaps offer both. I haven't kept close track.
The easiest way for you to get Hub Watchdog working would probably be to just install Bundle Manager.
