device.visible has no effect on the map about air-quality-web HOT 7 CLOSED

A cron job has been added which should run once per week at 5a.m.

It will set/reset the device visible flag. I.e. if a device hasn't sent data for 31 days or more visible is set to 0. If the device then comes back on line it will be made visible again.

Fixed - this should show up in beta soon.

We've already got a task in #36 about the marker colouring, so I'm going to close this issue.

on the plus side I makes the colour mapping make more sense.

#2 idea
after this a way to automate it,

• a cron job to check on date/last-sceen to flip the setting and vice versa.

cron job is a good idea but deciding how long to wait is the question. Less than a month could be waiting for repair. longer could be dead and buried.
Won't be quick - need to write a python program in amongst the current pixelbot stuff I'm doing whilst Rob focusses on writing his next source of income.

Great catch - thanks for this. I think a filter in the SQL is a great idea, as it allows us to hide dead / test / irrelevant sensors.

However, I think there's room for colour-coding the SVG marker too. Since we already have last_seen, the marker shouldn't be too much of a problem, but dynamically setting the marker in Leaflet.js in a manner that's both future-proof and extensible in the future is more bothersome than it should be (but I've now got an idea of how to do it - it's just a case of doing it).

Cool, thansk @BNNorman! I'll let you know when I implement the device marker colouring.
