oh, interesting. I've just been using the chart stuff over unencrypted http on my local wifi with a Safari bookmark for my Pi's IP address. I suppose the little notification display could work over http too. I just like how it's easy to install ngircd and irssi on a pi and use irssi over ssh for testing. Also, since IRC keeps the TCP connection alive, it's more convenient for server push stuff compared to setting up a bunch of websocket nonsense or something. Implementing a basic local-wifi-only IRC client (no TLS) in CircuitPython is pretty simple.
I initially thought about trying to figure out a way of displaying charts on the 2.8" TFT shield, but it's only 320x240 so it couldn't really fit more than just some unlabeled sparklines. I really like having a higher resolution chart with proper axis labels so you can actually read the times and temperature values with reasonable accuracy. For greenhouse stuff, being able to print things out is also really handy (easy to carry to the greenhouse to show people)
oh, and for CSV files, I use rsync. On my server, the logs get written to csv files with names using the UTC date, like:
~/serial-sensor-hub/sensor-logs/2025-11-21.csv
So, I can just rsync them to my workstation if I want with
rsync -vpc 'pi@raspberrypi:serial-sensor-hub/sensor-logs/*.csv' .
