Sensor Charts

Sensors of a numeric type should have a nice graph of value over time instead of the boring changelog.

Any beef with using the Google Charts API, or is the goal to keep everything entirely FOSS and not rely on any external things like that? If we can use the Charts API, this is a pretty easy task, otherwise we'll have to find something of a graphing lib that fits with whatever license you decide on.

I'd really like to keep everything FOSS as possible. The spiff web ui isn't meant to be the first stop to look up a space's sensor data; idealy, others would create better looking visualizations elsewhere.

Well that kind of contradicts a bit, I think. If it's not meant to be the first stop, then using the easiest implementation (which would be Google Charts) should be fine.

I have no issue with trying to use FOSS-only things, but if it's really not meant to be the primary interface for this, it's probably not too important either way and using Google Charts would be easier.

What were you thinking of using instead? A JS lib?
