R Shinny/Plotly dashboards in Manager UI/Openremote?

[aigualenc]

Dear OpenRemote users,

I’m new to OpenRemote. I’d like to explore the possibility to integrate custom dashboards and data processing using R programming languange (https://www.r-project.org/) or Shiny (https://shiny.posit.co/) or Plotly (Plotly r graphing library in R) within Openremote.

I’ve read that one can use EmonCMS or RRD4J pacakges for the generation of nice dashboards.

Hi, we are a water company management. We are interested in a OPEN REMOTE platform only for monitorize the following (we do not need have a control of the equipment, only to monitorize): 1 Energy consumption 2 Water consumption 3 Chlorine concentration 4 Water level in reservoirs We have 10 OPERATIONAL CENTERS, and my objective is show all the graphics and values in one platform. For Energy and WATER consumption we want use the following product: SMAPPEE (but we also opened in others solut…

And also, that it is possible to use “Widget customization on Insights”

Developer Guide: Widget customization on Insights

So, it is possible to embed R scripts to (1) process and analyse IOT data and (2) subsequently present it in interactive dashboards using R Shiny or R plotly?

• Are there any example of such kind of customisation?
• Is there any tutorial how to do that, this is the way? Developer Guide: Widget customization on Insights · openremote/openremote Wiki · GitHub

All the best and happy new year!

Unfortunately, the integration of EmonCMS was a feature of the now-obsolete and unsupported OpenRemote 2.5, which is also not backward-compatible with OpenRemote 3 versions.

Hi, no one didn’t answer my little question, I’ll resend it again more clearly,

Hi @aigualenc ,

There is no direct R integration for OpenRemote, but there are some options that you could use:

1. Use our Groovy/flow rules to generate the KPIs/metrics you’re interested in, and then use our Insights dashboards to make your dashboard
2. Use any of our APIs (WS/HTTP/MQTT) to retrieve the data in R, and then perform your calculations there.
3. A combination of the two:
   • Generating the KPIs/metrics using Groovy rules and retrieving those using the APIs to R for your own dashboarding
   • Generating the KPIs/metrics using R and sending those to OpenRemote using the APIs to then display in an Insights dashboard

There’s many ways of going about this, but an R/Plotly integration does not currently exist.

Hope this helps!
