decimals for barometer pressure

Post by ricorico94 »

Hi,

I'd like to keep decimals of my pressure measurements, but it seems Domoticz only shows the integer value in graphs and buttons. Is there anyway to configure Domitcz to keep 1 or more decimals ?

I use a BME280 with ESPEasy to feed a virtual sensor in Domoticz. It sends values with decimals to domoticz, but I can't view them on graphs, nor on CSV exports.

Any idea ?
Could we add a setting in the settings/meters menu of Domoticz ?

Hi ricorico94...

I understand that your feeding a virtual sensor, my first answer would be create e new sensor which accepts decimals e.g. percentage-sensor.

However, most weather-reports i've seen, do NOT contain decimals on the barometric pressure reports.

So there's not an option/setting to change at the moment. Perhaps you can post an enhancement request in the appropiate subforum?

Just quriosity: Why do you want those reports with decimals?

This must depend on your set-up, as I'm getting this, using BMP180 / BME280 sensors in MySensors nodes (same with graphs):

(although they're showing different values, they're within 0.3% )

I would like to have the decimals too. There is no problem with the 'Barometer' device (this accepts and shows decimals); but rather with the combination device (in my case the Temp + Humidity + Baro device), which makes things simpler in some respects with having to have fewer devices. I have not tired the other combinations (e.g. Temp+Baro) to see if it is the same.

I can get the "Barometer" device to show decimals - however I cant get it to show a log of previous output. I can get the Temp/Hum/Baro to show a log of previous output - but wont show decimals in the barometer bit!!

Its frustrating.

Decimals are really needed if uploading to weather sites (Uk Met Office WOW/ACcuweather) for finer resolution of pressure systems.

Yes, please....
I did not find a solution for this so i hope that the developers are reading this..

I would like that too, but not for pressure (barometer) only, but also for humidity. It would nice that it can be configured for such a sensor how much decimals will be displayed or stored in the database.

Agreed,

The sad thing is that, if the device is only a barometer there is in fact a decimal in place. If the sensor is a combined one aka (Temp/Humidity/Pressure) the Pressure value is rounded. So dear developers please add a decimal to the latter. The sensors nowadays are of such high resolution that showing tenths is no luxury anymore but common.

I also need this. Could this be added in a new version or preferably sooner?
