Motion Sensor with Arduino MQTT

Community Help With My Project
1

Has anyone managed to get the motion sensor working on an Arduino with the new MQTT?

I am wondering if it is my code.

Yes, you just need a generic digital input widget. Can you post your code?

Adam,
Thank you for the prompt reply. I did get it to work but it is still a bit slow. Currently I have triggers set to turn on and off the white light with motion. This is a huge step since the MQTT upgrade of the system. I just wish the response times were a bit faster.

/*
This example shows how to connect to Cayenne using an Ethernet W5100 shield and send/receive sample data.

The CayenneMQTT Library is required to run this sketch. If you have not already done so you can install it from the Arduino IDE Library Manager.

Steps:
1. Set the Cayenne authentication info to match the authentication info from the Dashboard.
2. Compile and upload the sketch.
3. A temporary widget will be automatically generated in the Cayenne Dashboard. To make the widget permanent click the plus sign on the widget.

the delay you get is because of this. change it to 250

Thank you for catching that. I think I changed that when trouble shooting the triggers.
