Users asked on the forum for a way to export their history (device feature values, energy/water consumption in particular) as CSV, so they can cross-analyse it in a spreadsheet with external data and compare one year with another. Until now the only way was to script the REST API by hand.
This PR adds one complete export path, plugged into the place where users already look at their history: the chart widget.
Server
New device.exportStatesToCsv(deviceFeatureSelectors, start, end) (server/lib/device/device.exportStatesToCsv.js). It reuses the existing raw history query (getDeviceFeatureStates) for each selected feature and merges everything into one date-ordered file with the columns date,device,feature,unit,value (long format, easy to pivot in a spreadsheet). Values containing a separator, a quote or a line break are properly escaped.
New authenticated route GET /api/v1/device_feature/states_csv?device_features=a,b&start=<ISO>&end=<ISO>, answering text/csv; charset=utf-8 with a Content-Disposition filename. It is usable directly from the API too, which also covers the scripting use case discussed on the forum.
Invalid input is rejected with clear BadParameters errors (no feature, invalid dates, end before start), and an unknown feature returns a 404.
The file is built in memory, so the export is refused upfront when the period contains more than MAX_STATES_TO_EXPORT_IN_CSV (500 000) states: a very chatty sensor over a year cannot exhaust the memory of a Raspberry Pi. The error message tells the user to export a shorter period.
Front
An "Export as CSV" entry is added at the bottom of the chart widget period menu. It exports exactly the device features and the period currently displayed, so the existing period navigation (previous/next period) lets a user export a past year as well.
The downloaded file starts with a UTF-8 BOM so spreadsheets (Excel in particular) display accented device names correctly.
Errors are displayed in the widget, with the server detail (e.g. "period too large").
New i18n keys dashboard.boxes.chart.exportCsv and dashboard.boxes.chart.exportCsvError added to en, fr and de.
Tests pass: cd server && npm test (full Mocha suite — the only failures are pre-existing environment ones: gateway backup/restore tests needing the sqlite3 CLI, Docker socket and network, identical before and after this change). Coverage checked on the changed files: server/lib/device/device.exportStatesToCsv.js is at 100% statements/branches/functions/lines, and the new controller lines are covered by server/test/controllers/device/device.controller.test.js. Cypress was not run (no browser binary in this environment).
Linter and prettier pass on both front and server (npm run eslint, npm run prettier / prettier-check), plus npm run compare-translations and npm run build on the front.
No undocumented breaking change (purely additive: one new route, one new lib function, one new UI entry point).
This pull request was opened by an automated Claude Code run. It needs a human review before merging.
…idget
Users can now download the history of the device features displayed in a
chart widget as a CSV file, to cross-analyse it in a spreadsheet with
external data. Until now the only way was to script the REST API by hand.
Server:
- new `device.exportStatesToCsv(selectors, start, end)`, reusing the
existing raw history query (`getDeviceFeatureStates`) and merging the
states of every selected feature in one date-ordered file
(date, device, feature, unit, value)
- new authenticated route `GET /api/v1/device_feature/states_csv`,
answering `text/csv` with a `Content-Disposition` filename
- the export is refused upfront when the period contains more states than
`MAX_STATES_TO_EXPORT_IN_CSV`, so a huge export cannot exhaust the memory
of a low-power machine
Front:
- "Export as CSV" entry in the chart widget period menu: it exports exactly
the features and the period currently displayed, so browsing to a past
period and exporting it works too
- the file starts with a UTF-8 BOM so spreadsheets display accents correctly

The PR adds device-feature state CSV generation, an authenticated API endpoint, chart download controls, localized export messages, demo data, and validation tests.
Changes
Device-feature CSV export
Layer / File(s)
Summary
CSV generation and limits server/lib/device/device.exportStatesToCsv.js, server/lib/device/index.js, server/test/lib/device/device.exportStatesToCsv.test.js
The device manager validates selectors and dates, limits exports to 100,000 states and 256 KiB through the gateway, merges feature history chronologically, escapes CSV values, and returns CSV content. Tests cover serialization, validation, limits, ordering, empty periods, duplicates, and missing features.
The authenticated route accepts feature selectors and date bounds, delegates CSV generation, sets attachment headers, applies gateway limits, and returns HTTP and gateway responses.
The chart exports the displayed period with a BOM-prefixed CSV and slugified filename. The interface tracks loading and errors, prevents dropdown dismissal during export, and provides localized labels and alerts.
This change adds CSV export, but the current implementation can export a time range different from the chart the user is viewing, allow spreadsheet formula execution, and bypass the 500,000-state memory guard with duplicate selectors; the export control is also inaccessible to keyboard users and currently fails a style check. These concrete correctness, security, availability, accessibility, and readiness issues should be fixed before merge.

Stale comment
The feature is well scoped (chart widget to raw history CSV, long format, validated dates, 404 on unknown feature) and the lib tests cover the CSV escaping / empty / limit / not-found paths. No DEVICE_FEATURE_CATEGORIES / TYPES changes.
It is not ready to merge: the new controller is the first in Gladys to call res.setHeader, which does not exist on the Gladys Plus gateway res shim, so a remote dashboard export throws a 500. Even after that, the whole file is built and sent in one shot, which conflicts with the 256 KB Gladys Plus per-request limit already documented for log download. The forum use case (a year of energy/water) will often fail remotely.
Please fix the Plus transport before merge. I am adding needs:human-review for the product call (chart widget as the only entry point, raw vs aggregated values).
Not risk:high: additive authenticated read of history, no schema/auth/gateway crypto change. Memory is capped, but the cap is still large for a Pi if the request is served on LAN.
- neutralize values a spreadsheet would run as a formula (=, +, -, @) and
quote values containing a carriage return, which could otherwise split a
CSV record. Numbers are left untouched so a negative temperature stays a
number
- deduplicate the selectors before counting and loading the states: the same
feature selected twice was counted once but exported twice
- do not call res.setHeader when the export is answered through the Gladys
Plus gateway: its response object only implements send/json/status, so a
remote export used to fail with a 500 before sending anything
- bound what travels over the gateway websocket (256 KB, the limit already
used by the log download) and lower the in-memory export limit to 100 000
states, so a Raspberry Pi is never asked to build a 40 MB file. Both are
refused upfront with the same "export a shorter period" message
- front: use a real button for the export entry so it can be focused and
activated with a keyboard, animate the loader icon, and clear a previous
export error when the chart moves to another period

Follow-up 3e5624af fixes the merge blockers from the last review.
Fixed
Gladys Plus no longer 500s: res.setHeader is only called when it exists, and a gateway-shim test covers the success path. gladys-gateway-js only rejects when decryptedMessage.status >= 400, so res.send(csv) as a raw string is a successful GET on Plus.
Plus payloads are refused above 256 KB (MAX_CSV_EXPORT_SIZE_THROUGH_GATEWAY_IN_BYTES) with the same “export a shorter period” error; LAN is capped at 100 000 states.
CSV formula injection (=, +, -, @ on strings), \r quoting, and duplicate-selector loading are covered by tests.
Export is a <button type="button">, exportError is cleared on period change, i18n keys exist in en/fr/de. No DEVICE_FEATURE_CATEGORIES / TYPES changes.
Not risk:high: additive authenticated history read, no schema/auth/gateway crypto change.
Keeping needs:human-review (author is Pierre-Gilles → atrovato) for the product calls this still makes: chart widget as the only entry point, raw DuckDB states vs the aggregated chart (max 300 points), and Plus 256 KB vs the forum “export a year of energy” use case. Chunking like /api/v1/system/logs was left as a design call; a year of hourly data (~8–10k rows / ~1 MB) will still fail remotely with a clear error. The byte check also runs after the file is built, so a Plus last-year click on a chatty sensor still loads up to 100k states before refusing.
One remaining UX nit inline (spinner is inside the closed dropdown). Ready to merge from a code/safety standpoint.
The export spinner lives inside the period dropdown, but the menu was
closed in the same setState that started the export, so the loader was
never visible and a long export gave no feedback at all.
The dropdown is now kept open for the whole export (an outside click no
longer closes it either) and closed once the export is done.

Export the fixed displayed period.
getData loads the chart for the period calculated when that request runs. exportCsv calculates a new period when the user clicks the button. If the user waits before export, the CSV range shifts forward by that delay.
Store the displayed period boundary when chart data loads. Use that fixed boundary for the CSV request. If the aggregated-state API cannot accept an absolute boundary, add that contract before export.

Tiny residual: clicking the interval button itself can still toggle the menu closed mid-export (it is inside dropdownRef, so the outside-click guard does not apply). Non-blocking.
