did you ever figure this out? I would like to do the same thing.

Hi
I planned to add this to the newest firmware, but I am not sure about the right way how to do this
do you want to reset the counter (which counts the on-time) every night at 0:00 ? in this case the accumulated value would only show a reasonable value at 11:59pm ... a few seconds before the value is reset again
or do you want an average value over the last few days?
what gives the most benefit for the user?
please let me understand why you want this value and for what you need it exactly, I don't want to implement a new function which is useless

Personally, I would like to know how often my chiller is running and for how long to monitor energy consumption and heat issues. I can tell with the temp rises based on a temp graph, but do not know if levels off on its own or if the chiller stepped in to correct it. The data would let me know if I have a real heat issue as opposed to the chiller only coming on once or twice a day for a few mintues. Also, there is really no way for me to monitor if the steps I am taking to control heat are working unless I know wheher or not the chiller is coming on and how often.
I think a function that would track total "on" time per day would be sufficient. What would really be nice, but I do not know if it is possible, if there was a way to indicate on the tempertaure graph when teh chiller came on and went off.

Hi Matthias
current active value from 12.00am reset at 11.59pm
average value over user set period.
two modes.

I would prefer you put sockets on and off in the graph recorder sections.
Just simple condition when the states changes. This would take very little memory, because your only saving change states, and putting it on a graph.
Why is this beneficial?
You could select certain sockets to compare what other conditions are doing at the time selected.
For example, the chiller On and Off cycle would compare to the temp.
This how real SCADA system works.
Thank you for your continue hard work of making Profilux number one.
