Small "how to"

[jiripaskov]

Hello @MrOstling. Please could I ask you to create small manual concerning what to expect from sensitivity setting, if it is possible to set sifting delay (from cat detection) or some examples how to work with setting over API?

It would be great.

THANK YOU

Hello :)

[MrOstling]

The readme has been updated.

Thank you for more info...

Regarding to sensitivity. The higher is th enumber the more sensitive system is?

Because now when the toilet is with use with cats it has a problem. Can´t detect my cats. I tried to turn the wheel on the back to be in firmly touch with ground etc. I have to literally push the toilet to detect cat now.

Maybe I forgot to add 2K resistor to cat sensor (resistor). Will try to inspect...

Also try to change setting using JSON. I use postman which creates command like this: http://192.168.1.44/settings?bin_full_cycles=5 with POST but it returns: Not found int opostman and nothing is changed. If I use PATCH it shows Internal server error. Do I something wrong?

Smaller sensitivity value will trigger with less weight in the box. In other words the the bigger the number the less sensitive it is. The sensitivity value is a threshold number. Each time the box cycles (and when it is reset) it re-calibrates the cat sensor to account for shifting litter. The sensitivity value is added to the calibrated value and compared with the current measurement to detect if a cat is in the box.

It looks like you are using query parameters. You need to send a json body. Something like

curl --location --request PATCH '192.168.1.44' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data '{
    "bin_full_cycles": 5
}'

Thank you. I have yet another question. When the globe returns back, it goes over a bit to level the litter. I need to continue few centimeters in this direction to level properly. Is there some way how to set this?

And also I need the globe to wait a few second before it goes to the final (end) position. My litter is bigger so it will help to level the litter properly to make a small (2 seconds) pause betweeb those 2 movements.

Is there some way how to edit files via wifi (or only via USB)? (let´s say to translate html etc.)?

Thank you.

You can adjust the cycle overshoot using the settings api.
