HI Colin I am open to ANY suggestions. What would you recommend ?
I have since got everything working. Also down to 23 seconds per read.
This is for my home automation / monitoring project.
My raspberry pi running owfs is for all monitoring (eventually some control)
Leviton HAI for security, lighting, and audio controls,
5440 RGB DMX channels for LED control.
This what is working but want it better.

Out of curiosity, why would you use this? Using a database with accurate time
stamps and log sizing is trivial, and apis for beautiful html plots are easy to
come by.

In fact having rrdtool working is quite complicated.
Thirst thing to note: you should run “rrdtool update” at about a 300s interval
(—step 300). If you fail to run ‘rrdupdate’ for 600s (see 600 in
'DS:garageIN:GAUGE:600:U:U’) the data point will be marked ‘unknown’ (and
nothing will show up in your graphs.)
Second thing: RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:1:12 and RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:12:168 are redundant,
since you save also longer RRA’s at the same frequency (RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:1:288
and RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:12:720).
Third thing: if you are interested in plotting MIN/MAX graphs, you should also
add RRA:MIN… and RRA:MAX definitions in your rrd.
Now suppose that the values in OWFS are correct. The best way to check what got
into your rrd is “rrdtool dump house.rrd” which will output and XML file with
the exact content of your rrd. If you are interested in the last 24h of data,
you can also issue ‘rrdtool fetch house.rrd AVERAGE —start -24h and so on. Once
you confirm that data is correctly stored in rrd, then you can start plotting
graphs.
A final comment: AFAIK, while having a single rrd file for all your sensors is
fine, this is rather an uncommon choice. Usually you define a file for each
sensor, in order to break the read/update loop in smaller chunks; e.g.
rrdtool update Garage_Return.rrd N:`cat
/mnt/owfs/uncached/Garage_Return/temperature`
and so on… possibly in a bash for-loop over all sensors.
Bye,
Stefano
