DHT plus two relays



  • HI Everyone,

    I have my temp/hum sensor in my AV cab and what two computer fans to cool it down. I have tried this and it originally worked with one relay and I got creative and screwed it up. When i tried to get it back to the original version i couldn't as I yes saved over it. I have checked on the forum and see projects like this but they don't appear to work. Can should one give a few pointers?

    @Newzwaver in what way doesn't it work? It would be easier to help you if we knew what to look for 🙂

    My best guess so far is that the node goes to sleep, which means it can not receive changes to the relays.



  • I am only speculating, but I think that he is missing the MySensors part of things. It sounds like he wants to run two relays with a temp/hum sensor and that's it. So he tries a MySensors sketch and without a gateway to respond, the sketch just hangs waiting for a gateway to connect to. Again, I could be wrong.



  • This works whether its correct or not it is working again.

  • @Newzwaver When you post code, it helps out a lot if you use the code tag button </> before pasting in your code.

    The other alternative which is basically what the code tag button does is to put 3 tick marks ( ``` ) before and after your code.

    It keeps the code indented and makes it MUCH easier to read.
