Correct. Already installed on RPI

shramik_salgaonkar · February 18, 2019, 6:30pm

python agent or pi agent?

kb9tms · February 18, 2019, 6:35pm

this:
"wget https://cayenne.mydevices.com/dl/rpi_b8w8pn82i9.sh

sudo bash rpi_b8w8pn82i9.sh -v"

shramik_salgaonkar · February 18, 2019, 6:39pm

that is the pi agent. you can edit code on cayenne python library.
for what did you use this code?

kb9tms · February 18, 2019, 7:00pm

An older pi running only a custom python2 program, no Cayenne. Just a conceptual example of how “latch_state” variable is used for hysteresis/one shotting

What is typical path to Cayenne Python library? It’s been awhile for me. Just dug my pi’s back out yesterday and put one to work to monitor my household freezer.

shramik_salgaonkar · February 19, 2019, 9:48am

have a look at this GitHub - myDevicesIoT/Cayenne-MQTT-Python: Python Library for Cayenne MQTT API and there is an example code Example-04-SendDataOnTrigger.py which you need to modify accordingly to send trigger only once.

Cayenne DS18B20 Example

This sketch shows how to send DS18B20 Sensor data to the Cayenne Dashboard.

The CayenneMQTT 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. Attach a DS18B20 to a digital pin on your Arduino.
   Schematic:
   [Ground] -- [DS18B20] -- [4.7k resistor] -- [5V]
                   |______________|
                   |
              Digital Pin
4. Set the SENSOR_PIN value below to the pin number you used when connecting the sensor.
5. Set the VIRTUAL_CHANNEL value below to a free virtual channel (or the virtual channel of a DS18B20 Sensor widget you have added) in the Dashboard.
6. Set the Cayenne authentication info to match the authentication info from the Dashboard.
7. Compile and upload this sketch.
8. Once the Arduino connects to the Dashboard it should automatically create a temporary display widget (or update the DS18B20 Sensor widget you have added) with data.
   To make a temporary widget permanent click the plus sign on the widget.

I’m not in a hurry, as I said the sensors go and that’s what I need, triggers if there are better but are not essential.
thank you very much

in the below code, you need to set the threshold value and sendBelowTHreshold as true or false.

Thank you very much, as soon as I can I try it I’m curious to see the result.

tim2 · May 9, 2019, 3:24am

Any fixes for this from a dashboard end yet rather than having to redo device code as a workaround?
Its not always practical to go back into the field to reprogram arduino devices because a dashboard feature doesn’t work as it should - its very not helpful at the moment as it is!
Also it doesn’t send the Widget name as we have set - only the channel number which is also unhelpful for end users.

shramik_salgaonkar · May 9, 2019, 10:00am

Both these issues are on the cayenne roadmap and will be taken in next quater.

greencardigan · February 15, 2020, 11:38am

A few quarters have passed now. The dashboard fix for the triggers, and device names in the notifications must be about ready?

shramik_salgaonkar · February 16, 2020, 4:11pm

we wont be adding this feature to cayenne any soon.
