API Structure Datatypes

AndyDHill

In the Serial API pages we can find a table that show the correlation, between type of sensor and data structure that can be used , eg a switch will be of type S_Binary and S_ Binary has elements of V_Status & V_Watt so far all well and good. But when we come to write C code be should be disciplined in our data type and we should be typecasting or ensuring that the data we pass into V_Watt is correct type w shouldn;t be passing in a DINT when V_Watt if it is defined as type Real (float), Similarly we should only pass Bool into S_Status if it is defined as bool, but it could be defined as sint?

This leads to my Question, is there a table showing the data types (Bool, Float, Int, Din, Sint etc) for each of these elements. ?

Type		                  Data Type 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
V_TEMP		                     ?INT
V_HUM		                     ?INT
V_STATUS		             ?BOOL
V_PERCENTAGE		             ?INT
V_PRESSURE		             ?INT
V_FORECAST		             ??????
V_RAIN		
V_RAINRATE		
V_WIND		
V_GUST		
V_DIRECTION		
V_UV		
V_WEIGHT		
V_DISTANCE		
V_IMPEDANCE		
V_ARMED		
V_TRIPPED		
V_WATT		
V_KWH		
V_SCENE_ON		
V_SCENE_OFF		
V_HVAC_FLOW_STATE		
V_HVAC_SPEED		
V_LIGHT_LEVEL		
V_VAR1		
V_VAR2		
V_VAR3		
V_VAR4		
V_VAR5		
V_UP		
V_DOWN		
V_STOP		
V_IR_SEND		
V_IR_RECEIVE		
V_FLOW		
V_VOLUME		
V_LOCK_STATUS		
V_LEVEL		
V_VOLTAGE		
V_CURRENT		
V_RGB		
V_RGBW		
V_ID		
V_UNIT_PREFIX		
V_HVAC_SETPOINT_COOL		
V_HVAC_SETPOINT_HEAT		
V_HVAC_FLOW_MODE		
V_TEXT		
V_CUSTOM		
V_POSITION		
V_IR_RECORD		
V_PH		
V_ORP		
V_EC		
V_VAR		
V_VA		
V_POWER_FACTOR

So can anyone complete the above table ?

This little Javascript data structure might help you (used by a thing I'm working on). Not 100% mappable to C but you should be able to read out the assumed data types.
