EKM Dash Software - Start Meter Reading on Application Open
Posted: Fri Aug 17, 2018 2:41 pm
Hi EKM Forums,
I would like to know how it may be possible to have EKM Dash application automatically start meter reading when the application is started.
Currently, when the application starts, you then have to manually click 'Start Reading' for it to begin recovering data from meters configured.
Then you can "Pause Reading" or exit the application to stop reading.
Is there any way (check box?) to have 'Start Reading' occur on startup?
Reasoning behind this is on too many occasions now, I have come back after a few days to find that my EKM Dash application has not been running and so not collecting data, and it has overrun the 1000 latest reads available, resulting in effective data loss.
I am looking to have EKM Dash be auto restarted by a separate application (made to auto restart applictions), but cannot find a way for EKM Dash to start reading the meters without manual intervention.
Thank you for your help.
