This is an Internet usage meter widget for Chumby.
Currently, the following ISPs are supported (among other reasons, they have data usage feeds):
These cannot be loaded via the Chumby website because that would put them in the Flash sandbox, and neither of these ISPs have crossdomain.xml files set up. Also, the tap to load data is required as data cannot be stored on the Chumby itself, and no caching mechanisms have been setup by ISPs to effectively deal with a reload every couple of minutes.
This widget is not endorsed by either Internode or iiNet.
The ‘internet’ icon used in the widget thumbnail is licensed under LGPL from the Crystal Project.
- Download the latest version for your ISP at the downloads section.
- Extract the contents to the root of your Chumby’s USB drive. If profile.xml already exists, DO NOT overwrite it. Instead, rename the existing one, extract the usage meter widget’s profile.xml and manually merge. Otherwise you will lose your other custom widgets. Beside the widgets have unique IDs.
- Open up profile.xml on the USB drive in a text editor. Notepad is not recommended due to the Unix line endings.
- In the widget parameters section, fill in your username and password. You can optionally add an account name as well – this will be shown instead of your username in the widget. If you do this, be sure to remove the surrounding comment tags.
- Save profile.xml.
- Plug the USB drive back into Chumby and reboot – you should now see the usage meter widget in your widget list.
If you want to monitor multiple accounts, you can add the widget more than once, and give them different usernames/passwords.
