How to get Text from sensor Topic is solved

[misko903]

Hi everyone,

I have installed a virtual HW to predict the weather. Darksky.
I want to include the text from sensor to message sent to my phone every morning.
For now, I am able to send only value of temperature and humidity, but not the text under the values of the sensor - prediction.



How to do it? Is there any spec value, or should I create a virtual switch, or...?

Thank you,
Michal, SVK

What is the type / subtype of this device? (can be found at the devices tab)

[misko903]

This:

Temp + Humidity + Baro
THB1 - BTHR918, BTHGN129

[waaren]

Temp + Humidity + Baro
THB1 - BTHR918, BTHGN129

OK,

can you try this

Code: Select all

return {
          on   = { timer    = { "at 08:00"}},
                   
    execute = function(dz)
        local myDevice = dz.devices(1103)           -- change this to the ID of your device or the name in quotes
        local degree = '°' 

        local notifyString =     "Today it will be " .. myDevice.forecastString .. 
                                 " (" .. myDevice.barometer .." hPa). The expected temperature will be " .. 
                                 myDevice.temperature .. degree .. " and the humidity will feel as " .. myDevice.humidityStatus

        dz.log(notifyString:gsub(degree," degrees"))
        dz.notify(notifyString)
    end 
}

Thanks for sharing the script Waaren!

I get an dzEvents error.

Thanks Waaren,
for me it works!!! the only thing is the accuracy - lenght of the temperatures - 10.39999961853°

Now I will try to set it up every morning before I will step in the car.

Plus how can I send the notifications only throug a specific service - for example gcm (not gmail)?

If the log show that the notification has been sent and you don't receive anything, I suspect the problem in the domoticz notification setup area.

Hi Joep, the script is tested and works for the temp + hum + baro device. Can you please check if your device is of that type.
I will send you a PM with a script with some additional debug lines.

Perfect I will test it from the work. To change it to Monday till Friday (work days) should be a piece of cake also for me
("at 05:40 on mon,tue,wed,thu,fri")

There is "prediction: cloudy" part missing. How should the code part for it looks like?

Maybe you can help also here; my wife gets the notifications too. She is not waking every morning as me (baby). And I don't want to disturb her with my test messages.

How to send the messages to the specific user?
I will use the script parts also for gardening - the message about dry flower will be sent only to her.

Now I see that to do this in blockly is practically impossible. I am trying to do as much as possible in dzVents.

Greets from Slovakia!

That should work

there seem to be an inconsistency in domoticz wrt the to the behavior of this value.
For now I added the function fromBarometerForecastInfo to ensure a correct prediction string. (see new code)

How to send the messages to the specific user?

This is out of control for dzVents. In the script you can choose to which notification systems you want to send the information but you have to define in domoticz notification setup page who the addressee will be.

Hi Joep, the script is tested and works for the temp + hum + baro device. Can you please check if your device is of that type.
I will send you a PM with a script with some additional debug lines.

Hi waaren, the improved version of Sunday 21 October 2018 21:14 works perfect, better than the newest version because of the pressure is exactly 1033 here now. The newest version results in "Sunny" but should be "Partly Cloudy".

I used a text sensor

I was trying to find the option to send the message to specified user in Domoticz. Nothing found not in settings - messaging, not in mobile devices, not in users.
Maybe it can be added as a feature in next Dz update?
Your script test will run in the morning, looking forward to it
