  • This is good? i think is not, maybe someone can check?

    @Tagore.PDE I don't think it's appropriate to post a sketch and ask if it's a good sketch. Please be more specific. Like do you have errors? Does something not work?



  • Sorry about that, maybe the Controller ( Domoticz ) is not taking the soilmoisture correctly.
    I see that he send 3 digits number, like this:

    0_1471456262327_domoticz capture 2.PNG

    But domoticz show me like this:

    0_1471456192724_domoticz capture.PNG

    So maybe is confused? or ai m confused?

    Regards

    @Tagore.PDE I had a quick peak at your sketch. You're presenting the soil moisture sensor as a humidity sensor. That way Domoticz treats it as a humidity temp sensor.

    If you want to be able to see the moisture level you could present it as a light level

      // Register all sensors to gateway (they will be created as child devices)
      gw.present(CHILD_ID_LIGHT, S_LIGHT_LEVEL);
    

    But maybe @mfalkvidd has a better solution. Not sure what he uses for his office plant monitoring.

    I just used the digitial output of the soil moisture sensor. Because I was only interested in the fact that my plants are thirsty.

    Hope this helps.



  • @TheoL thx for your feedback.



  • For the record, to send in %, next code:

     int soilValue = analogRead(ANALOG_INPUT_SOIL_SENSOR); 
      soilValue = constrain(soilValue, 420, 1023); 
      soil = map(soilValue, 420, 1023, 100, 0);
      if (soil != lastSoilValue) {
        send(msgHumSoil.set(soil)); // Send in percent
        lastSoilValue = soil;```


  • I use V_LEVEL and S_MOISTURE for a moisture sensor.
    The percentage part is something i am going to try for sure.



  • Hi @tlpeter , cna share one example?

    Regards.



  • I think i get it, @tlpeter :

    MyMessage msgHumSoil(SOILHUMDITY, V_LEVEL); 
    
    void presentation()  {
      // Send the sketch version information to the gateway and Controller
      sendSketchInfo("Sensor POT", "1.1");
      wait(MESSAGEWAIT);
    
      // Register all sensors to gateway (they will be created as child devices)
      present(SOILHUMDITY, S_MOISTURE);
