CAYENNE_OUT(VIRTUAL_PIN)
{
// Send the command to get temperatures.
sensors.requestTemperatures();
// This command writes the temperature in Celsius to the Virtual Pin.
Cayenne.virtualWrite(VIRTUAL_PIN, sensors.getTempCByIndex(0),TEMPERATURE, FAHRENHEIT);
// Cayenne.celsiusWrite(VIRTUAL_PIN, sensors.getTempC(OutsideTempAdd));
// To send the temperature in Fahrenheit use the corresponding code below.
//Cayenne.fahrenheitWrite(VIRTUAL_PIN, sensors.getTempFByIndex(0));
Serial.print("Temp: ");
Serial.println(sensors.getTempCByIndex(0));
Cayenne.virtualWrite(V10, 10);
}
In the dashboard i get
If i use celsiusWrite V1 shows 0
after changing to virtualWrite i get
On V1 i get 75.1 degree,
on V10 i get 50.0. It dosn’t matter what setting i use in dashboard.
The serial out shows 24 degrees celsius , as expected.
Could anyone explain how this is supposed to work, and what I am missing
CAYENNE_OUT(VIRTUAL_PIN)
{
// Send the command to get temperatures.
sensors.requestTemperatures();
// This command writes the temperature in Celsius to the Virtual Pin.
Cayenne.virtualWrite(VIRTUAL_PIN, sensors.getTempCByIndex(0),TEMPERATURE, FAHRENHEIT);
// Cayenne.celsiusWrite(VIRTUAL_PIN, sensors.getTempC(OutsideTempAdd));
// To send the temperature in Fahrenheit use the corresponding code below.
//Cayenne.fahrenheitWrite(VIRTUAL_PIN, sensors.getTempFByIndex(0));
Serial.print("Temp: ");
Serial.println(sensors.getTempCByIndex(0));
Cayenne.virtualWrite(V10, sensors.getTempCByIndex(0));
}
On your dashboard use channel 10 to display the value.
There was a bug from a while back that Celsius temps were getting converted to Fahrenheit even though you were sending the temp in Celsius. @rsiegel do you know if that was ever fixed?
Cayenne.celsiusWrite(VIRTUAL_PIN, sensors.getTempC(OutsideTempAdd)); doesn’t work
Cayenne.virtualWrite(V1, sensors.getTempCByIndex(0)); this work
2 it is essential that this is on top in the schets, other vise it gives wrong data, and debug doesn’t work #define CAYENNE_DEBUG // Uncomment to show debug messages #define CAYENNE_PRINT Serial
My code aree below, if someone else would like it.
It is also OTA compliant, so it can be uploaded over the air in arduino IDE
Do you know if it is possibly to have 2 or more readings in the same Chart view??
Thanks for you help.
Some feedback to Cayenne team:
I tried to use UECIDE (another IDE for ARV like Arduino), but it seems that cayenne’s library dosn’t follow the guidelines described here https://www.arduino.cc/en/Hacking/libraryTutorial
Mostly the Libs are not in seperate folders with same name, and the keywords.txt are missing.
thats pretty anoying, I hope it will be fixed in the future.
