Hello Community !
It’s me, again, with another problem… All time ^^
So i put tsl2561 on raspberry, and raspberry find it ! But when i add to cayenne i have widget but no value… Somebody know why ?
Thank (
@adrien.testas are you using MQTT or regular connection?
Is the raspberry pi able to show value of TSL256?
Can you post the code you are using.
I wired it with wire, and i think i forget something, is not like other sensor ? i have to put something more for it work ?
I love this kind of project !
But i have big problem, i’m french and at thé begining it’s difficult to do with english tutoriel… That why i ask lot of question to the community, specific world is long to learn !
You can say me what i have to do for my sensor work ?

About This Project Wife and I had an adult “kiddie” pool last year during the heat of the summer and we spent a lot of time in it during the months of July and August. We upgraded to a larger pool (12’ in diameter, 2500 gallons/9600 L). But living at a northern latitude means keeping the pool warm enough to be comfortable anytime (shoulder season, or after a cool spell) and temperature was going to determine how many times we used it. So I thought of a solar pool project and here’s what I came …
@adrien.testas lets start from scratch.
First of all make sure you have the 12c libraries installed on your Raspberry Pi.
sudo apt-get install python3-smbus
sudo apt-get install i2c-tools
then enable i2c in raspberry pi configuration interface.
lets check if the raspberry reads the value of TSL2561
import smbus
import time
# Get I2C bus
bus = smbus.SMBus(1)
bus.write_byte_data(0x39, 0x00 | 0x80, 0x03)
bus.write_byte_data(0x39, 0x01 | 0x80, 0x02)
time.sleep(0.5)
data = bus.read_i2c_block_data(0x39, 0x0C | 0x80, 2)
data1 = bus.read_i2c_block_data(0x39, 0x0E | 0x80, 2)
# Convert the data
ch0 = data[1] * 256 + data[0]
ch1 = data1[1] * 256 + data1[0]
vResults = ch0-ch1 #get visable light results
print("Reading = ",vResults)

So librairies it’s good but i have invalid syntax when i run line…
remove any space in beginning of the line if present,
