Alexa won't let me create a routine with my DHT11 temperature sensor

[ogabrielborges]

When creating a Temperature Sensor device in SinricPro, I cannot create a routine with it in Alexa, as Alexa only allows me to "turn off and on" the sensor.

How can I resolve this?

(I'm using a NodeMCU 0.9 and a DHT11 sensor with the DHT.h library and the code for this sensor that Sinric provides)

About air humidity, I saw in some forums that it is not accepted by Alexa, correct me if I'm wrong.

Last time we checked temperature sensors are not supported try contact sensor instead

I'll leave this problem aside for now, because I have a bigger concern:

Can I use an Arduino with an Ethernet Shield W5100 in SinricPro?

Officially we don’t support. However there’s a community repo here you can try.

Sorry to bother you again, but I would like to inform SinricPro that the lock was locked/unlocked when I pressed a button, how would the code look like?

You can use the sendLockStateEvent function.

myDevice.sendLockStateEvent(true); // device is locked myDevice.sendLockStateEvent(false); // device is unlocked

[ogabrielborges]

The code does not compile, my idea is to pass an RFID card registered in my MFRC522 module, pin 2 and 1 change to low and the state of the lock changes to open, and after 3 seconds, to closed and the pins to high code.txt

[sivar2311]

The code does not compile

You don't have a myLock instance in your loop() !

So you have to add SinricProLock& myLock = SinricPro[LOCK_ID]; in the loop()-function too!

[ogabrielborges]

Very good, thank you SO MUCH for the help, I graduate in Information Systems and I'm still in my infancy in programming but I really like arduino and I'm trying to get by!

Help me with something else: What do I need to do in the code to define the lock as unlocked in sinricpro, wait 5 seconds and it locks?

I suppose I need to tweak something around here, but you're the one who can tell me bro:

(this code is before void setup) bool onLockState(String deviceId, bool &lockState) { digitalWrite(LOCK_PIN, lockState); // apagar Serial.printf("A fechadura foi %s\r\n", lockState?"fechada":"aberta"); return true; }

[sivar2311]

This is how i would do:

define a global timer variable unsigned long timer = 0;

In the onLockState callback:

  if (lockState == false) // door should unlock
  {
    timer = millis() + 5000; // start the timer;
    lockState = true; // keep the lock state on server "locked" because it relocks within 5 seconds automatically
  } 
  digitalWrite(LOCK_PIN, state);

Write a timer handler function that check if the timer has been set and handle the lock:

void handleTimer() {
  if (timer  == 0) return; // nothing to do (timer not set)

  if (millis() >= timer) {
    digitalWrite(LOCK_PIN, HIGH); // re-lock
    timer = 0; // reset timer
  }
}

It doesn't make sense to send an event to the sinric pro server, because the time of 5 seconds is too short.

Add handleTimer() function to the main loop()

Note: Code not tested

The current issue no longer corresponds to the original issue.

I therefore ask you to open a new issue.

For questions about esp8266-esp32-sdk please open an issue in the esp8266-esp32-sdk repository.

Thanks for your understanding.
