Error says:

did you try resetting the arduino with the on-board reset button?

The "Poll Now button" does not do anything for arduino devices. Like the message said "No Implementation" has been done for this functionality.

@korttoma Thanks! So how do I get the temperature to read?

I must be missing something here. Arrgghhhh lol.

[korttoma]

In the humidity sketch you can specify "SLEEP_TIME = 120;" in seconds how often the sensor will check temp and humidity value. After each check it then sends the new values IF the values have changed.

Success!!!!

Thank you all for the assistance. I also posted in the Vera forums. I had SEVERAL problems. Most of which I should readily recognize and know how to correct, if they happen again. I'll go in the order of the ones I corrected first.

#1 Configuration problem????

Over and over I was told, it was a wiring issue. But initially, the gateway AND both devices showed up ( See screenshot http://108.51.175.78:8069/shelli-rae/pictures/misc/Capture1.PNG ) But there were no Temperature or Humidity numbers showing up. Another thing you can see is the Last Updated Time. That's a very important field, because if it is not updating you know something is going on (At a glance)

So initially, even though signs pointed to a wiring issue the fact that both sensors showed up led me to believe it was something else. So I checked all the wiring connections on the sensor device and everything had continuity. I then checked all the wiring connections on my gateway device and they were fine. I was PISSED! lol. I then noticed that the status window at the top of Vera had some Lua error and the Gateway device had a red status bar going across the bottom. I knew that meant something was going on with the Gateway device but I had already spent a lot of time troubleshooting so I ignored it for two weeks.

I came back from vacation yesterday and decide to give it another go. I notice the error at the top of the Vera status said it couldn't communicate with the I/O port. I go to Apps|Develop Apps|Serial Port Configuration and notice it is not detecting the USB device.

What in tarnation! I don't know if it's been like this the whole time, but I unplugged and replugged in the Gateway device, reload the Vera, and now the Vera is detecting the USB device. I then pull up the Gateway device (In my case it is named MySensors Plugin) and configure it per the instructions 8 data, 1 stop bit, and No parity. 115200 baud. I hit Reload and Voila! I error messages about Serial I/O are gone, the Lua Startup (What does THAT error mean in general?) error is gone, and the red status bar across the bottom of my Gateway device is gone.

#2 I did not have the correct DHT library loaded, and I did not have the MySensors library (Sensor.h) loaded properly.

I turn to the Humidity sensor device. Since it showed up initially, and the wiring was fine I am thinking it should work. However, I can't get the libraries loaded to get the sample code to compile. After checking the libraries and making sure I had the correct DHT library loaded (There's one library that works with plx-daq, and a DIFFERENT one that works with the MySensors code) the sample sketch would not compile. I then turned on verbose logging in my IDE (Arduino 1.0.5) and noticed that it was not finding Sensor.h I then found that was in the MySensors folder which was in my libraries folder. I then created a folder named Sensor.h in my libraries folder and put Sensor.h and Sensor.cpp in there. I compiled and now it said the version and ummmm config.h was missing. So I copied those into the folder as well and now it compiled. I then uploaded it immediately and Reloaded my Vera (Now I know you don't have to do that. As soon as you upload a sketch to your sensor device it normally connects to the Gateway device and Vera and begins working) and now I have numbers reporting for the Humidity and Temperature.

I am using the same senses DHT22 and having the same problem, no temperature Reading humidity seems to be working fine just doesn't make any sense.

[andyuno]

okay I'v work that one out I've got it working, all I need to do now is go from Fahrenheit to Celsius

[andyuno]

@andyuno that didn't take me long I'm getting good…at this:)
