Re: temp/humidity sensor advise

I believe what mtsinc was trying to say that since here in the US, the FCC has 'hard limits' of how to stay inside the loophole and get FCC Certified, all manufactures have to play within those limits. So brand A, brand D and brand Z, should have about the same coverage. Think about it like this, a ...

Re: 2xDS18b20 GPIO Raspberry PI

Try ... - adjusting your poll timing to a bit longer - 5v WONT work on the pi, it will at least reboot it. the GPIO's max at 3.3v and more coming in is harmful. I had several other tips that have worked for me in the past I was going to post, but noticed your cable length is only 4 inches, you ...

Re: I need to measure temperatures up to 300 degrees.

300F is pretty hot for flue gas, so I'm going to assume you're going worst case on the high side. There are two options that come to mind right off hand, depending on your skill set and which route you want to to go. There's the K-type thermocouple sensor, which is along the same lines as the ...

Re: DS18B20 Directly connected to a RPI

I currently do it with a mix of Node-Red and json post data into a virtual temperature sensor. Although I only use Node-red because I have other magic going on that pushes data into Domoticz, I'm sure there are perl/php/others out there that can come up with a command line and cron script to ...

Zooz USB Stick ZST10 and Sensor ZSE40 Verified Good!

Just added a ZOOZ USB Z-wave Plus S2 Stick (ZST10) to a fresh install of Domoticz and did the openzwave setup, and can vouch for it working flawlessly. Installed Ubuntu MATE 18.04, Domoticz (via sudo curl -L install.domoticz.com |bash ) then installed OpenZWave using the directions posted here ...

Re: Forget API Keys on WU, This is better :)

"If you are a Personal Weather Station owner, you will receive more information about our plan to offer free access to the data you provide to Weather Underground. We’ll reach out once that plan has been finalized." I guess only time will tell, we will have to wait and see, but for now this works a ...

Re: Forget API Keys on WU, This is better :)

As a follow up, anyone that's interested in running Node-Red to pull this data and push it out to Domoticz, I'll be more than happy to share my working flow (code) with them. Just drop me a message and I'll make it available. Or if anyone wants to take a look at the code and re-write it in another ...

Re: Adding temperature sensor to Weather

Maybe, depends. Can you give us some insight to which temp/humidity sensor you have? If it's doable, someone here should be able to help, or at least point you in the right direction.

Forget API Keys on WU, This is better :)

Preface - I live in the largest county of Virginia, with only 1 major 'city'. For me, that city is about 30 miles away. And the next closest is about 60 miles away. So, needless to say, WU and other commercial sites often don't line up with the weather we're having. So, I found a way around this ...

NWS Statements / Alerts In Domoticz

In light of Hurricane Florence projected to come a little too close to comfort, I decided to throw something together to log and notify me if (WHEN) the NWS issues a statement/alert/warning for my county - which happens to be the largest county in Virginia.(but easily adaptable to include the ...
