Hi,
First post. I love Custom Clock and I'm putting more and more
information onto it. I recently bought a home energy monitor (TED
5000) and want to display how many watts I am currently using in my
house (updated every 5 seconds or so). The info comes from the
webserver on the TED 5000 (in XML format). I wrote a script on my
squeezecenter host to download the power data, parse it, convert it to
an image, and have apache2 serve it...thinking there was a way to
display a URL image in Custom Clock but I don't think there is. How
should I go about getting this data into Custom Clock and updated every
5 seconds or so?
For background info my script is:
watts=$(curl -s httb://ted5000/api/LiveData.xml | grep -m1 PowerNow |
tr '<>' ' ' | awk '{print $2}')
convert -background "#000000FF" -fill yellow \
-font Palatino-Bold -pointsize 36 label:${watts}W \
/var/www/watts.png
Pretty simple, but if I could be pointed to the right place maybe one
line of Perl (as a plugin?) would do the trick. Hopefully there is a
way to display the text directly based on a URL or perl script.
Thanks.
