NodeMCU compiling error with Cayenne

Noob here -

I’m trying to build a remote temp monitor using a DHT22 and ESP8266 NodeMCU. I found some coding on a project website but I keep getting an error while trying to compile it.

Here is the code -


#include <dht.h>

#define CAYENNE_PRINT Serial
#include <CayenneMQTTESP8266.h>
#include <DHT.h>

#define DHTPIN D5 // what pin the DHT is connected to
#define DHTTYPE DHT22 // DHT 22 (AM2302)

const int TEMPERATURE_INTERVAL = 30;
unsigned long last_temperature_sent = 0;

const int HUMIDITY_INTERVAL = 30;
unsigned long last_humidity_sent = 0;
String display_temp;
String display_humid;

DHT dht(DHTPIN, DHTTYPE);

// Your network name and password.
char ssid[] = “”;
char wifiPassword[] = “”;

// Cayenne authentication info. This should be obtained from the Cayenne Dashboard.
char username[] = “”;
char password[] = “”;
char clientID[] = “”;

 

void getSendTemperature() {
if (millis() – last_temperature_sent >= TEMPERATURE_INTERVAL * 1000UL || last_temperature_sent == 0) {
float temperature = dht.readTemperature(true);

if (isnan(temperature)) {
Serial.println(“Failed to read from DHT sensor!”);
return;
}
display_temp = temperature;
Serial.print(“Temperature: “);
Serial.print(temperature);

Serial.println(” °F”);
Cayenne.virtualWrite(8, temperature);
last_temperature_sent = millis();
}
}

void getSendHumid() {
if (millis() – last_humidity_sent >= HUMIDITY_INTERVAL * 1000UL || last_humidity_sent == 0) {
float humidity = dht.readHumidity();

if (isnan(humidity)) {
Serial.println(“Failed to read from DHT sensor!”);
return;
}
display_humid = humidity;
Serial.print(“Humidity: “);
Serial.print(humidity);
Serial.println(” %”);
Cayenne.virtualWrite(9, humidity);
last_humidity_sent = millis();
}
}

 

 

void setup() {
// put your setup code here, to run once:
Serial.begin(230400);
dht.begin();
Cayenne.begin(username, password, clientID, ssid, wifiPassword);
}

void loop() {
// put your main code here, to run repeatedly:
getSendTemperature();
getSendHumid();
Cayenne.loop();
}

//Default function for processing actuator commands from the Cayenne Dashboard.

Below here is the error message(s) that I’m receiving. I’m about to pull my hair out trying to figure this out.

Thank you in advance for helping a new guy out.

Hi @MilesL

Try this simpler sample:

    // Tinkernlearn.com - This example shows how to connect the Wemos D1 pro & DHT11 with Cayenne using MQTT 

//#define CAYENNE_DEBUG
#define CAYENNE_PRINT Serial
#include <CayenneMQTTESP8266.h>
#include <WEMOS_DHT12.h>

DHT12 dht12;

// WiFi network info.
char ssid[] = "WIFI_SSID";
char wifiPassword[] = "WIFI_PASSWORD";

// Cayenne authentication info. This should be obtained from the Cayenne Dashboard.
char username[] = "MQTT_USERNAME";
char password[] = "MQTT_PASSWORD";
char clientID[] = "MQTT_CLIENT_ID";

unsigned long lastMillis = 0;

void setup() {
	Serial.begin(9600);
	Cayenne.begin(username, password, clientID, ssid, wifiPassword);
}

void loop() {
	Cayenne.loop();

	//Publish data every 10 seconds (10000 milliseconds). Change this value to publish at a different interval.
	if (millis() - lastMillis > 10000) {
		lastMillis = millis();

    if(dht12.get()==0){
      Cayenne.celsiusWrite(1, dht12.cTemp);
      Cayenne.virtualWrite(2, dht12.fTemp, TYPE_TEMPERATURE, UNIT_FAHRENHEIT);
      Cayenne.virtualWrite(3, dht12.humidity, TYPE_RELATIVE_HUMIDITY, UNIT_PERCENT);
    }
	}
}

//Default function for processing actuator commands from the Cayenne Dashboard.
//You can also use functions for specific channels, e.g CAYENNE_IN(1) for channel 1 commands.
CAYENNE_IN_DEFAULT()
{
	CAYENNE_LOG("CAYENNE_IN_DEFAULT(%u) - %s, %s", request.channel, getValue.getId(), getValue.asString());
	//Process message here. If there is an error set an error message using getValue.setError(), e.g getValue.setError("Error message");
}

I apologize. I should have mentioned the hardware I’m using.

I’m using a ESP8266 nodeMCU and a DHT22.

I’m not sure which library the wemos_dht12 comes from…

Hi @MilesL welcome to cayenne community.
Try to use optimised DHT library for nodemcu and esp32. You can get it from GitHub.

I am using it with out any problem.

Follow this tutorial and get DHT reading on your nodemcu Using a DHTxx Sensor | DHT11, DHT22 and AM2302 Sensors | Adafruit Learning System
Once done you can add the DHT code in your this code Cayenne-MQTT-Arduino/ESP8266.ino at master · myDevicesIoT/Cayenne-MQTT-Arduino · GitHub

This was the best advice I have gotten.

I was able to get my board to read temperatures through dht test. Then separately I was able to get my board online with Cayenne.

After that I was able to cobble together code to get them both working together.

Thank you.
