Multiple sensors --> Multiple script instances? #37

Closed poseidogithub closed 3 years ago

poseidogithub commented 3 years ago

Hello! many thanks for teh script, works like a charm with my domoticz.

one questio from a newbie, what would be the method to have multiple thermomethers? I see no options on the scripts, so I guess the only current way without coding is to have one script per sensor?

thanks!

Hi poseidogithub,

so I guess the only current way without coding is to have one script per sensor?

exactly. One instance of the script per sensor. Changing this would be a lot of work and because of hanging bluepy issue currently even not really possible.

Thanks for the quick reply!

Im thinking.. maybe a 3rd script that calls MiTemperature2 passing the mac of each sensor as a variable, and the IDX of the virtual sensor of domotics also as a value? so it will sequentially call your script and repeat once per mac, in loop. the only think is that sendToDomoticz does not allow to pass the idx as variable...

here we go... to learn Pyton! ahaha

well I did a very uglhy thing, but it works:

I have 6 sensors, so I created 6 identical SendToDomoticzX.py (being X from 1 to 6) each one with the idx of the sensor in domiticz (6 different), then a bash script that calls 6 times /LYWSD03MMC.py (one with each MAC) and with teh callback pointing to the tight SendToDomoticzX.py

thanks!
