Hi
Some kind of integration between farmOS and AgOpenGPS has been mentioned some time ago.
I had a go with AgShare today. Quite a handy tool for online sync/share/backup of fields from AgOpenGPS. AgOpenGPS upload the field data to AgShare when a field job is done.
AgShare is fully open source and has its origin from the AgOpenGPS community. I think it is or will be selfhostable too.
AgShare has an API, so it’s possible to make something..
I had success with the API today in Node-Red.
Thanks for sharing @pat!
Here are some previous topics that came up in search, for cross reference:
If someone is looking for AgOpenGPS-stuff..
I’ve made a python app with Claude Code to complete my efforts integrating AgOpenGPS jobs with farmOS.
It provides a GUI to help adding field work from AgOpenGPS into farmOS logs.
The app parses data from the selected field/job and matches the processed field with correct field in farmOS.
It’s supposed to run in the tractor cab along with AgOpenGPS.
If the field is not matched automatically, the user can select one among valid farmOS fields
If the used equipment is matched as a seeding equipment ( a configurable setting) it will create a planting log, and let the user choose a farmoOS planting asset.
Or, just an input if the equipment matches e.g “Fertilizer”
Not in English yet, but will be in the end.
Glad to see your progress. having recently switched to AOG and have been looking into farm OS for data recording.
Do you have an ETA for English? Although I think I should be able to figure it out.
Even with AgShare, the app can live anywhere, so I dont have to have it on both AOG installs, I can have it at home and sync it in the evening. Will have a play with it when I get FarmOS up and running
Welcome to the forum..
Cool. I’ve actually made a farmos module for this the last few days.
As you may already know, we now have AgShare workging as a cloud service for AgOpenGPS.
AgOpenGPS can sync fields over to AgShare automatically.
My farmos module, lets you enter the AgShare API, and farmos pulls data froom AgShare and automagically insert fieldwork as an activity log referencing the correct asset.
You get an AgShare page in the settings menu. There you input url and API key, and the start date you want to sync from.
It should check with standard farmos cron intervals for new stuff to sync.
Every log is marked with an Agshare note in the note field, so Its possible to filter for them.
I think this is the best way to do this sync. Little to no extra work on the tractor computer.
Once the AOG fields are setup equal to farmOS field names, you just make a new job in AOG by “New by existing” in AOG, and add tool name and date.
When job is done, it should pop up in farmOS after a little wile.
I’ve just briefly tested it and it works fine.
Currently, AgShare don’t sync any statistics yet. Only field name, boundary and ab-lines.
But I bet more will come
Started playing about with this and making progress, just need to export all my fields from AGshare and import them to farmOS
A little project for the weekend. Thanks for doing the work, having moved from fieldbee, the record keeping aspect of it was what I was missing. Even if its just the machine and a date, I can add the rest of the data later.
Nice.
You might also like this one.
This is just a summary of the field assets activity.
It lists all field assets in a table with one column of each log type.
In the screenshot the “jobs” from AgOpenGPS are in uppercase (Since thats what I use in AOG)
The rest is manually created logs.
I think it gives a nice quick view to verify if everyting is logged.
At least for me, not all field work logging is generated by AOG, and I easily forget to log stuff.
As a bonus, all logs and assets are url’s so you can click to open them for editing or reading.
