battery-eye 0.5.0-5

Battery charge logging and graphical visualization for Maemo5/N900. battery-eye is a small app, that records battery data (percentage, current, voltage, charger status) continuously in background, and creates a graph to visualize how the values change over time. It also calculates statistics on average battery usage, and battery life estimates based on that. The data collection process is designed for minimal impact on system performance and battery life.

bugtracker link broken

Daemon dies silently after install. App fails to launch - no error message. So I ran '/opt/battery-eye/beyed.py' manually, get "ImportError: No module named dbus".

Is this a missing dependency in the .deb file? python-dbus is installed. What is the proper way to start the daemon?

Agreed, it occasionally "stops working". It can be restarted by "rootsh start battery-eye-daemon" from the terminal.

It stopped working after one day. The timeline continues but there's no graph drawn anymore. Rebooting doesn't fix this.

Seems to work fine but could definitely benefit from some extra functionality, being able to dump the collected data into a text file for instance.

debian/control has

XSBC-Bugtracker: XSBC-Bugtracker: https://garage.maemo.org/tracker/?group_id=1292

so broken link is your fault :) or broken packaging tools because this one seems to made with py2deb or something else which have never produced "good" packages.

You know what? Auto refresh is not so important, better to keep battery using low instead. Thanks for your answer.

Emanuele, thank you for your feedback.

It seems that the bugtracker link is for some reason prepended by with the .deb control file field name in the packages interface. I'm not sure if it's my fault, it seems that there are also other affected packages. (for example, this: http://maemo.org/packages/view/comic-widget/ )

The correct tracker address for battery-eye is: https://garage.maemo.org/tracker/?group_id=1292

I will try to find out if this can be fixed.

As for your other feature requests, I'm trying to figure out the best way for doing the automatic refresh without wasting resources. Time scale changing will be in next version, it's already implemented and working. ;-)

  • Bugtracker link not working

  • App can't refresh by itself if left in background

  • User should be able to change time scale

Nice app, good job
