5 years ago Actually it is not that difficult to implement. When I first created this module I was also thinking about it, but I did not think that people really care about humidity. Now that I have a sensor that measures humidity as well, I often found myself checking the measured value.
So yes, I will add it, and I believe I can do that in a backward compatible way.
If I would change the expected POST payload to this format, would that work with your sensor?
{
"temp": 27,
"humidity": 40.3,
"sensorId": "1"
}
Now that we have the FA5 issues taken care of, there were two other things I have been meaning to ask you about. Here's the first one (I'll post the second in a separate issue). I don't know how much time you have to work on this project, so feel free to close this if it isn't something you have the time for.
The sensor I use to send data to tmy MMM-RemoteTemperature module is both a temperature and humidity sensor. In order to display both on my MM I've jerry-rigged a solution by creating a second instance of the module to display the humidity and then used CSS to put the two together in a group. (I'm happy to send photos and/or code if that helps.)
Would it be difficult for you to add the option for the module to a humidity reading (in the same say it now supports an optional time)? I ask this knowing very little about javascript coding.
Given that dual temperature-humidity sensors are quite common, it could be a very helpful feature for people if the module supported both readings.
