MySensor Controller Config - Imperial (false) setting
-
I've created the setting. It should be in the next version. First I'll do a few tests.
For now, I've made it so that if you set it to Imperial, temperature sensors will show the data as being in Fahrenheit.
Once the WebThings Gateway has that preference available (perhaps it already has, although I didn't see anything in the code), I will link it to that. I don't think I've seen a 'metric or imperial' setting in the UX though.

@alowhum Wow great, thanks for getting that in there, that should help other users out also as they fire this code up. So many of the mysensors examples use that config setting that I'm sure others would request that addition to the the addon.

@alowhum You know, I sort of misspoke, just to be more accurate: it's (the setting is) actually imperial or metric, I guess it's really more than just C and F, I simplified (and I shouldn't have). This is how it's stated on the addon: "Units to use, i.e. imperial for ˚F, metric for ˚C"

It works. The new version is getting closer to release.

I didn't know for sure which thread to put this update under but I'll put it here: I updated to the new add-on version. I rebooted everything and I can confirm this the 'imperial' setting is working with my sensors. I had one sensor that has the code in it to check that setting and before I was getting the reading in C and the C label. Now with that sensor I am getting a F reading and a F label. GREAT! I did have to reboot a couple of things more than once! At this point I'm wondering that the boot order should be. Also I'm thinking that I need to unplug everything in the chain and plug things back in the right order, like Mozzilla gatewat first, then the MySensors gateway, the plug the MySensor sensors back in to get it all to work right. Anyway, this is really looking good!

Glad to hear it :-)
it shouldn't matter much, but in theory the order is:
- plug in serial MySensors Gateway
- reboot Mozilla Gateway
- reboot your nodes

Looks like I got the V0.9 Mozilla Gateway update last night, everything seems to be working fine. I now have a decimal digit on my temp readings that was not there prior to the upgrade. (73.4 F now, 73 F previous version)
