hi just got my first sensor working, but my goal is to have 3 temp sensors and one luminosity sensor.
but when adding the second DS18B20 widget, the sketch has not included the first one. anyone have an idea for the code for two or 3 sensors?
Here is mine with the arduino uno with a 5100 sheild an one DS18b20 sensor:
#include <OneWire.h>
#include <SPI.h>
#include <Ethernet.h>
#include <EthernetUdp.h>
#include <EthernetServer.h>
#include <Dhcp.h>
#include <EthernetClient.h>
#include <Dns.h>
#include <util.h>

Cayenne DS18B20 Example
This sketch shows how to send temperature data to a DS18B20 Sensor in the Cayenne Dashboard.
The Cayenne 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. Install the OneWire library (http://www.pjrc.com/teensy/td_libs_OneWire.html) from the Arduino Library Manager.
2. Install the DallasTemperature library (http://milesburton.com/Main_Page?title=Dallas_Temperature_Control_Library#Code.2FLibrary) from the Arduino Library Manager.
3. In the Cayenne Dashboard add a new DS18B20 widget.
4. Set the widget to Value Display.
5. Select Virtual Pins and a virtual pin number.
6. Set VIRTUAL_PIN to the pin number you selected.
7. Attach a DS18B20 to an digital pin on your Arduino.
Schematic:
[Ground] -- [DS18B20] -- [4.7k resistor] -- [5V]

Digital Pin
8. Set the tmpPin variable to match the pin used to connect the DS18B20.
9. Set the token variable to match the Arduino token from the Dashboard.
10. Compile and upload this sketch.
11. Once the Arduino connects to the Dashboard it should automatically update the DS18B20 widget with data.

Cayenne.run();
}
// This function is called when the Cayenne widget requests data for the Virtual Pin.
CAYENNE_OUT(VIRTUAL_PIN)
{
// Send the command to get temperatures.
sensors.requestTemperatures();
// This command writes the temperature in Celsius to the Virtual Pin.
Cayenne.celsiusWrite(VIRTUAL_PIN, sensors.getTempCByIndex(0));
// To send the temperature in Fahrenheit use the corresponding code below.
//Cayenne.fahrenheitWrite(VIRTUAL_PIN, sensors.getTempFByIndex(0));
}
Just a matter of (like you suggested kuncono) repeating alot of variables. But the trick is to remember to make them all unique.
There is proberly a smarter way of looping or array it but again im not a coding guy.
Here’s my working example of 3 sensors on the arduino uno:
#include <OneWire.h>
#include <SPI.h>
#include <Ethernet.h>
#include <EthernetUdp.h>
#include <EthernetServer.h>
#include <Dhcp.h>
#include <EthernetClient.h>
#include <Dns.h>
#include <util.h>

Hi tvj, thank you!
You state you are not a “coding guy”, and yet you have a working example, on the contrary, all those smart technical people who boast lots of higher knowledge, still did not practically solve the issue.
What are you looking to do? This thread is explaining how to add more DS18B20 sensors to an Arduino device using the Arduino IDE. If you scroll up to post 5 you’ll see the code to do it.
#define CAYENNE_PRINT Serial // Comment this out to disable prints and save space
#include <OneWire.h>
#include <DallasTemperature.h>
#include <CayenneMQTTEthernet.h>
// Cayenne authentication info. This should be obtained from the Cayenne Dashboard.
char username[] = "MQTT_USERNAME";
char password[] = "MQTT_PASSWORD";
char clientID[] = "CLIENT_ID";
#define SENSOR1_PIN 2// Temperature sensor on LED ligths.
#define SENSOR2_PIN 3// Temperature sensor on Aquarium.
#define SENSOR3_PIN 4// Temperature sensor on Control Unit.
#define VIRTUAL_CHANNEL 1
#define VIRTUAL_CHANNEL 2
#define VIRTUAL_CHANNEL 3
OneWire oneWire1(SENSOR1_PIN);
OneWire oneWire2(SENSOR2_PIN);
OneWire oneWire3(SENSOR3_PIN);
DallasTemperature sensors1(&oneWire1);
DallasTemperature sensors2(&oneWire2);
DallasTemperature sensors3(&oneWire3);
void setup()
{
Serial.begin(9600);
Cayenne.begin(username, password, clientID);
sensors.begin();
}
void loop()
{
Cayenne.loop();
}
// This function is called at intervals to send sensor data to Cayenne.
CAYENNE_OUT(VIRTUAL_CHANNEL 1)
{
// Send the command to get temperatures.
sensors1.requestTemperatures();
// This command writes the temperature in Celsius to the Virtual Channel.
Cayenne.celsiusWrite(VIRTUAL_CHANNEL 1, sensors1.getTempCByIndex(0));
;
}
// This function is called at intervals to send sensor data to Cayenne.
CAYENNE_OUT(VIRTUAL_CHANNEL 2)
{
// Send the command to get temperatures.
sensors2.requestTemperatures();
// This command writes the temperature in Celsius to the Virtual Channel.
Cayenne.celsiusWrite(VIRTUAL_CHANNEL 1, sensors2.getTempCByIndex(0));
;
}
// This function is called at intervals to send sensor data to Cayenne.
CAYENNE_OUT(VIRTUAL_CHANNEL 3)
{

Cayenne.celsiusWrite(VIRTUAL_CHANNEL 3, sensors3.getTempCByIndex(0));
;
}
You have some extra ; in there, and it’s been a long time since I used the DallasTemperature library, but looks ok other than that. Are you getting errors, or noticing that something doesn’t work?
I think latest DS18B20 library INCLUDES the 1-wire library and you should not include it separately in your code. If you get errors about 1-wire stuff being redefined, that’s the problem.
