Change valuename send to Controller



  • 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 ?

     * The sensors forms a self healing radio network with optional repeaters. Each
     * repeater and gateway builds a routing tables in EEPROM which keeps track of the
     * 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?



  • 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 🙂
