A couple of years have passed since I was on Cayenne. I was having difficulty adding a ADS1115 analog to digital converter.
I’m taking a different approach to describing the problem since I can’t add the device now.
This is the sequence of events and the result:
I tried to add an ADS1115 to my Rapsberry Pi project.
Add
-Devices&Widgets
–Extensions
—Analog Converter
----ADS1115
-----channel 49
“Please fix the following errors:”
“Please turn on the device”
Needless to say the device is on and running. A datafile is created each morning and readings stored in that data file.
I followed up with:
ADD
-Sensors
–Generic
—ADS1115
----channel 1
-----Gauge
with the same eror message.
As reported by adam, extensions are not supported in agent 2.0. First of all when you try to add a ADS115 you will have no option to select device and thus having no option to add channel and gauge details. So can you share a screenshot of your dashboard while adding ADS1115
Thanks.
Late. Just discovered Cayenne responses in my SPAM box.
Agent? I logon to the website, and my dashboard, and attempt to add an ADS1115.
You’re both in a better position to tell me if I’m using Agent 2.0.
Why are extensions available for the ADS1115 on the website, if they can’t be added?
How do I add an ADS1115?
to check the version: on your dashboard top right corner next to your device name there is cog wheel, click on it to open configure and you will find the pi agent version.
No ADS1115 has been added. In the Extensions drop down, there are two Raspberry Pis listed, but not in the Generic Sensor category. I’ve removed the extraneous Raspberry Pi. I’ll try adding the ADS1115 again.
from the screenshot, you have two devices **Raspberry Pi** which has space between and other one which is greyed out is **RaspberryPi**
While adding the ADS1115 and analog input you are selecting the greyed **RaspberryPI**
Right. I’ve removed the second, greyed, old Raspberry Pi.
I cannot add an ADS now. The Sensor/Generic/ADS1115 option is blocked and the use of Extensions is blocked. I can find no other options.
Thanks. On my way to github.
Why am I getting Extensions headings on Agent 2.0.1.255 if extensions are not supported? Do different devices or PCs get different Agents?
Needless to say, I’m doing everything from my iPhone till my laptop is ready.
Adam, I use Cayenne to monitor the system when I’m not available.
I use Weaved and remote SSH to make any changes. I’m exploring Cayenne’s potential usefulness to my situation. I’ll keep what you’ve said in mind.
Thank you,
Jim Julian

when you ssh into your Pi and installed the Cayenne MQTT library, you need to add a new device using BYOT. Once added you need a code for ADS1115 ADS1015 / ADS1115 | Raspberry Pi Analog to Digital Converters | Adafruit Learning System to get sensor data from it.
Next you need incoporate rhis sensor code into the cayenne code so that it sends data to the cayenne.
