Change valuename send to Controller

[Wiesel]

Hey everybody,

I built a soil moisture sensors with the YL-39 and YL-69. I'm using FHEM as Controller. The name of the value from sensors is present as "level". I would like to rename it to "moisture level".
Can someone explain how I can change the valuename ?

 * network topology allowing messages to be routed to nodes.

I think it is more related to the controller than mysensors. Have you tried asking in their forum?

[Wiesel]

Hi gohan.
Oh, I thought it was a mysensors thing. That there's anywhere a declaration for the value name.
I'm new in house automation and still have a lot to learn.
I will ask in FHEM Forum. Thank you.

Well, mysensors is kind of a transport of information that is then presented to the user by the controller, so it is more a user interface business to present the data the way you like :)
