Hi

Anyone who knows the JSON command for creating a virtual sensor - custom sensor?
It has to be

http://IPADRESS:8080/json.htm?type=createvirtualsensor&idx=1&sensorname=Test&sensortype=XYZ

where XYZ should be the number for a custom sensor.
Some sensortypes are wrote down here already:

Any idea?
Tnx!

You need to add an extra parameter for the y-axis. But i don't know how to do this. Facing exact the same problem.

Code: Select all

http://IPADRESS:8080/json.htm?type=createvirtualsensor&idx=HARDWAREID&sensorname=NAME&sensortype=TYPEID&sensoroptions=1;AXUNIT

AXUNIT = Ax Unit
HARDWAREID = Hardware index of the Dummy Hardware you are using (not a sensor index)
NAME = Name of the new sensor
TYPEID = See https://github.com/domoticz/domoticz/bl ... aretypes.h

If you create a test device (of any type you like) in the Domoticz UI in a browser while you have developer tools enabled (ctrl-shift-i in Chrome), under the network tab you'll see the JSON that the UI sends back to the Domoticz engine when you create or change something. From this, you can figure out the correct JSON to use for any command !

Question, can I create any type of sensor?

I need a kind of custom sensor with 3 inputs

I need to see the output of 3 separate thermometers in 1 graph on the dashboard of Domoticz.

Is this possible?

No this is not possible. A Custom Sensor can only store and display 1 value. Also it is not possible to view graphs on the default dashboard of Domoticz.
If you want to graph multiple values on a dashboard you need something like dashticz extension or make your own graphing with grafana.
