wrong soil moisture unit measurement #11

Closed fidoboulettes closed 4 years ago

fidoboulettes commented 4 years ago

Hi, sorry for my poor english. In first, thanks a lot for this great plugin that simplify the integration of the mi plant in domoticz.

I just want report the wrong unit of measurement used in domoticz for the mi plant. The Mi plant indicate a percentage and not a centibar (cb) for the soil humidity.

How (where) to change it in the plugin? I don't find anything in miflora_poller.py elsewhere.

Thanks for your answer

I'm sorry, I no longer support the Domoticz code. Have you tried the Mozilla WebThings Gateway?

Did you find a way to change cb to % here is de wrong code sensorName = sensorBaseName + "Moisture" Domoticz.Debug("Creating first sensor, #"+str(sensorNumber)) Domoticz.Debug("Creating first sensor, name: "+str(sensorName)) Domoticz.Device(Name=sensorName, Unit=sensorNumber, TypeName="Soil Moisture", Used=1).Create()
Domoticz.Log("Created device: "+Devices[sensorNumber].Name)

Only change this Domoticz.Device(Name=sensorName, Unit=sensorNumber, TypeName="Soil Moisture", Used=1).Create() In Domoticz.Device(Name=sensorName, Unit=sensorNumber, TypeName="Percentage", Used=1).Create() No big deal Succes

Hi Tonbor, why did you use Temperature typename for the soil moisture sensor... It's better to use custom sensor or Humidity No?

You are right, I corrected it to Percentage

fidoboulettes commented 4 years ago

Hi Tonbor, maybe you can help me. Do you know how to replace the switch in domoticz which launch an measure acquisition by cron in linux?

Thanks

what do you want to do? Did you look her: https://www.domoticz.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=22083

Hi, sorry, my english is so poor to explain exactly what i want to do.. :-(

Ok, I want to plan the data acquisition (Temp,Humidity,...) of my Mi flora (1 per hour). To do that at the moment in domoticz, you most go in switch part, select the switch of Mi plant, and program that... but, my domoticz is in a raspberry and often crash... so, after a re-installation of a backup I must re-plan that.

For me, the better thing to do is to make a cron in crontab but I don't know which file (python?) match with the switch (in domoticz).

Thanks for your help

Capture

Well you can always start with putty by start hand the plugin.py, see what’s happens.

If it is the correct py file you can put it in crontab starter. (crontab –e).

If no luck try the other *.py flowermate files…..

Good luck,

Tonbor

I've changed the line to user percentage instead.
