Turn changing device readings into usable history
OctoMonitor can retain MQTT telemetry in local storage while the monitoring environment is able to receive it. Live and historical tables expose device, time, date, note, and sort filters, along with filtered and total record counts.
Local storage keeps OctoMonitor from adding another hosted telemetry service, but it also changes the operating model. History depends on the browser or installed app environment, its available storage, connectivity, and whether monitoring remains active.
- Pause and resume the live feed when you need to inspect a stable view.
- Filter historical rows by device and time range.
- Add notes that make a later event easier to interpret.
- Review stale-data guidance when expected telemetry stops arriving.
Move from raw telemetry to charts and reports
Charts provide common 1-hour, 24-hour, 7-day, and 30-day ranges with selectable metrics. Multiple supported devices can be compared on the same chart, helping show whether a change belongs to one device or reflects a broader household energy pattern.
Reports organise telemetry into solar generation, energy and power, battery storage, connectivity, command, fault, and audit views. Chart and table modes provide different levels of detail depending on whether you are looking for a pattern or an exact record.
- Compare solar input, battery, and power metrics over useful time ranges.
- Review daily solar peak, average power, estimated yield, Smart Plug energy, and AC input with battery-percentage changes.
- Inspect connectivity reliability, telemetry gaps, coverage, and fault timelines.
- Use table views when the individual readings behind a chart matter.
Use telemetry history
Telemetry history depends on network access, browser or app runtime, credentials, device availability, and local storage. OctoMonitor surfaces stale and coverage information alongside the recorded data.
OctoMonitor is a monitoring companion rather than an official archive. Export or back up important data according to your own retention needs, keep credentials private, and use the official EcoFlow app for firmware, account, device setup, and vendor-specific diagnostics.
- Use coverage and gap diagnostics with the report data.
- Keep the monitoring environment online when continuous history matters.
- Use History/Data Archive or Full Backup to keep a portable copy of your readings and recorded device actions.
- Validate important readings against the device and official EcoFlow tools.
