Domoticz

Hello,
I am using a temperature sensor off Orgeon, the THN132N
This works good. But I had to change the Battery. To get it working again you need to press the rest.
The temperature sensor is then lost in Domoticz.
After a search for new sensors it back again but as a new one.
Is it possible to reconnect to the previous item in domoticz an therewith add the new values in the same chart?

Kind regards
Har

Hi, this scenario is described in the Domoticz manual:

http://www.domoticz.com/DomoticzManual.pdf

Some devices change their unique ID when a new battery is installed.
To replace the old sensor data to the new device act as follow:
First, add the new device to the system, and call it for example ‘New UV Meter’.
Next press the Edit button on the Old device, select replace and select the new Device. (In this case the devices called ‘New UV Meter’.
Next press OK
Now you can rename the new device back to ‘UV Meter’.

Hi,

I just found out that you can ninja-swap the battery so that the sensor never looses power. This allows you to keep the sensor ID without having to reset and replace the device in Domoticz.

Just wait for the sensor to transmit its data (led flash). Then replace each battery one by one, trying to swap each in one second or less, and before the next led flash (about one minute). This totally fools the sensor which keeps working as if you never removed the battery.
