Current version: v1.0c (released 02.06.2009)

taloLogger is an application developed to periodically retrieve house automation data from multiple sources and to store the retrieved data to a data store. Multiple types of data stores are supported.

The application is developed in Python programming language mainly to run on Unix platform. However the application should also be usable in other platforms also. The application is modular and some of the data source and data store modules have additional requirements for running the application. These requirements are listed in the taloLogger HOWTO.

Currently taloLogger supports the following data sources: Ouman 200 series controllers using the Ouman serial cable connection, 1-wire sensors using either OWFS 1-Wire filesystem or DigiTemp. Following data stores are supported to store the data retrieved by taloLogger: file log with configurable format (eg. Excel CSV-format), MySQL database table and RRDTool database file.

There is also a taloLoggerGraph-package available (coming soon...) for to easily visualize the stored data from a MySQL database table to your web browser. The taloLoggerGraph is implemented using library for PHP. (demo images produced with taloLoggerGraph: [img 1] [img 2] )

See the usage help for details about application options. See the taloLogger HOWTO and the taloLogger FAQ before asking the author for support. See the changelog for information about current and former release changes as well as the application future wishlist.
