Connecting Arduino Uno with Proximity Sensor to Cayenne

Community Help With My Project Helped

Hello Cayenne Community,

I am currently working on a project where I’m making a simple game using an Arduino Uno and a proximity sensor. Everytime the ball passes the hoop the proximity sensor will trigger and the player will receive a point. We were planning to send a notification after the game stating which player earned the most points but this is outside of the scope of my project. However, I believe with Cayenne it should be fairly simple to do.

My question is: to connect my Arduino Uno to Cayenne, I know I have to use a Wifi breakout (I have the Adafruit 2999) to configure the Arduino to Cayenne. However, do I also need to manually configure the proximity sensor as a separate device or will Cayenne be able to automatically know and configure all the sensors connected to my Arduino?

Thanks

You can confugure the sensor autonomously, or you can use this sensor directly in Cayenne.
Here you can see the supported hardware: http://www.cayenne-mydevices.com/Supported-Hardware/. If your sensor is one of them, you can use the sensor directly.
