[Solved] Vera device not showing variable value on GUI
-
I have built my first sensor (moisture sensor) and gateway.
With a simple sketch the value displays correctly in the Vera device.
// Enable debug prints to serial monitor #define MY_DEBUG // Enable and select radio type attached #define MY_RADIO_NRF24 #define CHILD_ID 0 #include <MySensors.h> // Here we are setting up some water thresholds that we will // use later. Note that you will need to change these to match // your soil type and environment. It doesn't do much for me because I'm using domoticz int thresholdUp = 400; int thresholdDown = 075; MyMessage msg(CHILD_ID, V_LEVEL); unsigned long SLEEP_TIME = 1000; // We are setting up the pin A0 on the redboard to be our sensor // pin input: int sensorPin = A0; void presentation() { present(CHILD_ID, S_MOISTURE); } void loop() { int sensorValue; sensorValue = analogRead(sensorPin); //send back the values send(msg.set(sensorValue)); // delay until next measurement (msec) sleep(SLEEP_TIME); }
Debug output
Vera grep log output
However, when I move onto the sketch I want to use everything works except the moisture value does not display in the Vera device.

Debug output
Vera grep log output
The variable value is getting to the Vera device as it shows in the device advanced tab
Vera 3 UI15
IDE 1.8.2
MySensor library 2.2.0 - betaI have removed the sensors and gateway multiple times, reloaded Vera multiple times. To no avail.
Any suggestions welcome.

Solved:
Vera does not have a dedicated moisture device, S_MOISTURE is implemented as a Light Sensor (Ref)
MyMessage msgMoisture(CHILD_ID_MOISTURE, V_HUM);is therefore incorrect and results in no value being shown in the device.
For Vera this has to be
MyMessage msgMoisture(CHILD_ID_MOISTURE, V_LEVEL);The level is now showing in the device

@Woodside done. Welcome to the MySensors commu ity and thanks for sharing the solution.
