V_VAR1 in latest Domoticz

Post by alexsh1 »

Hello

Does anyone know if Domoticz now can handle V_VAR1-V_VAR3?
I am using MySensors 2.3.0alpha

Thanks
Alex

You can use them in a specific way, but what exactly are you trying to achieve as you won't actually find them in domoticz. as far as I know.

V_VAR are used only for store specific MySensor node data into Domoticz and read them back from Domoticz.
( When botting MySensors etc, ). You cannot change V_VAR by Domoticz itself.

A lightning sensor. I have intensity, which is not available in MySensors so V_VAR1 has to be used.

mmm indeed. If I remember correctly V_VAR1 can be used to tell the value to the controller, however Domoticz will not display it in a sensor.Same issue with V_CUSTOM. Back in the days i needed to misuse a different V_**** like V_WATTS to get the value into Domoticz and live with it.

A brave guy posted this to modify Domoticz Mysensors.cpp:

I did not try it.
Sorry for the not so positive answer. :|
