Real Time data from local measuring device

[mrslyfox]

Hello,

we have measuring controller, which has integrated web portal to access real-time measures.

We access web page by the link http://10.30.61.1/awp/Demo/IOCounter.html

Inside of html I see folowing code

:="webdata".counter:;:="webdata".HTMLcolor:

<script type="text/javascript">
function loadXMLDoc() {
var xmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();

xmlhttp.onreadystatechange = function() {
if (xmlhttp.readyState == 4 && xmlhttp.status == 200) {
myFunction(xmlhttp.responseText);
}
}

xmlhttp.open("GET", "IOCounter.htm", true);
xmlhttp.send();
}

function myFunction(response) {

var result;
result = response.split(";");
document.getElementById ("id01").style.backgroundColor = result[1];
document.getElementById ("id01").innerHTML = result[0] + " f/h";
}

loadXMLDoc();
setInterval(loadXMLDoc, 1000);
</script>

I can add it PowerBI desktop as a Web source and manually I can refresh measured value, but

how can I push this data from controller to PowerBi service ?

HI @mrslyfox,

AFAIK, power bi not load/run javascript functions when you use web connector, it will get html elements and stored as text format.

In addition, you can also take a look at following link:

Call custom Javascript function in a table column

Hello @v-shex-msft

Here is My test powershell script to push data to PBI service

while($true){
$endpoint = "https://api.powerbi.com/xxxxxxxxxx"

$payload = @{

"Measured" =Get-Random -Minimum 10 -Maximum 100

"DateTime" =Get-Date -Format F
"MachineName" ="Ford"
"TargetValue" =80
"MinValue" =10
"MaxValue" =100

}
Invoke-RestMethod -Method Post -Uri "$endpoint" -Body (ConvertTo-Json @($payload))
}

and with second Script, which can get counter result from Measuring device

$WebResponse = Invoke-WebRequest "http://10.20.30.1/awp/Ford/IOCounter.htm"
$WebResponse.Content

Two problem I have (for the lack of scripting knowledges) 

1. I have no idea how to put result from second script into the 'Measured" = 

2. result from second script return value with char " ; ", like: 25000;

and I need to delete it.
