D18B20 - what should i write into the "slave" field

[Ian]

Hi Cay,

Welcome to the Cayenne community!

The short answer to your question is the DS18B20 address goes in the slave field.

or

Each 1-Wire slave device has a unique, unalterable, factory-programmed, 64-bit ID (identification number), which serves as device address on the 1-Wire bus.

The slave address for a DS18B20 looks like this 28-000006908c5f .

If Cayenne can’t ‘see’ the device you can use the below link to instructions to check to see if the RPi and 18B20 are working together.

Might take a look at the RPi itself and see what it is getting from the sensor. cd /sys/bus/w1/devices/ ls cd 28-"put your serial here" ls cat w1_slave if you get something that looks like this, 25 01 4b 46 7f ff 0b 10 65 : crc=65 YES 25 01 4b 46 7f ff 0b 10 65 t=18312 the last number, 18312 in my case, is the temp in milli-Celsius. So in my case it is 18.312°C in my back yard. At least you will know if the sensor and RPi are working together. [image] My heartfelt thanks to pyromd76 ove…
