How to programatically get Aquacontroller status?

[Armando]

Posting here maybe an AC user will chime in and help...

I am trying to get current status from Aquacontroller programatically to post on a web page but not sure how to do it.

Problem #1 is that it seems that Aquanotes service is using the COM port so unless I stop the service, I can't access it.

Also, I'm not sure if there's a better way of doing this other than issuing the "c" command and parsing the results.

Anyone could give me some pointers? TIA!

Why not just use the web features of AquaNotes?

I'm trying to integrate it to my personal site.

I already have working some custom charts running against the Aquanotes database, but I wanted to have the current stats displayed in a box.

PS.: I'm running a little late on shipping the probe, hopefully this weekend

Look at the lastCurrentStatus field in the Tank Table of the AquaNotes access database (aquaDb.mdb). It has the information you are looking for. You'll have to parse and format it if you want it pretty.
