Here's an example of the first DummySensor module I wrote. It takes the temperature (in celsius) from whatever sensor you point it at and converts it to Fahrenheit before displaying it in a vDev element. If I did it correctly, you should be able to access it by adding the token MYeager01 to your app...

pz1, I'll look into that if the other user replies and is interested in giving it a go. The offset is easy as long as it's a steady offset. If not, then the user will need to determine the curve as I would have no way of doing so. Once the curve was realized, it wouldn't be that hard to code. Good f...

I've been looking at the way the module works and it appears to check it's status every 15 minutes. That being the case, I'm considering piggybacking the timer that's already in the module with a boot persistent entry in the metrics that adds the delay time to the current time and then compares it e...

It would be very easy to adapt the Dummy Sensor app I've written to read your sensor, add the offset you're looking for and display it on the Dummy Sensor instead. I've put a few of these up on the App store but I don't think they've made the cut to actually be in the app store. Are you sure that th...

I have looked into that sensor more than once, I'm just not sure I want to add a physical sensor at this point. Just out of curiosity, how are you using it? Is it interfaced (obviously by you) to ZWay or just hooked to your sprinkler controller?

The sensor attached to my water heater goes to the Arduino that controls the solar heating of my water. It relays information back to my house controller (where ZWay resides) so I can display it. This data arrives in a JSON string by way of ZigBee radio. What I was trying to do (and have since figur...

I wasn't planning on getting that involved with the rain sensor. Most commercial offerings just give a few (24/36/48 hour typically) delay options and that's it. I don't know as I plan to add a physical rain sensor and if I do it will most likely be a simple one. The ones that allow you to track the...

I am on v2.2.2 and I don't have that issue. Maros, Astronomy doesn't require the BaseModule, as you point out, but all of its updates still seem to be processed by the module. I have noticed lately that the response to changes to my system (turning devices on and off, etc) seem to take a second or t...

That's basically what I'm thinking. Anytime a door is opened, the system needs to assume the house is no longer occupied unless it's in "night" mode (to account for someone coming home late or leaving for work early) after a predetermined amount of time with no activity being detected by e...

I'll look into those modules. I'm already using the Virtual Rain Sensor with the ForecastIO module and it works great. I am using it with a short timeout but was looking at the longer timeout for use with the sprinkler system. Needless to say, if it rained all afternoon, I don't need the sprinkler r...
