Re: Online Apps

What's with App store tokens? I've never seen anyone make any reference to them other than the option being in the UI. I have uploaded 4 modules that I've written (or rewritten). Hopefully, they'll be useful to others and I can get some feedback for improvements...

Re: Virtual Sensor???

I have conquered the DummySensor task. There are several examples of it uploaded to the developer page to be included in the App store. It will probably take a day or two to get them approved so be patient. The three modules are TempF, HeatIndex, and Dewpoint. They accept input in Celsius and output...

Re: Where are all the apps?

In the Smart Home Automation UI, click on the little gear in the top menu bar and select "Apps". There are all kinds of goodies there to get you started. Look for some of the posts about how to set things up efficiently or you may find yourself redoing things quite a bit later...

Re: Trying to be notified when a 16 Volt Doorbell is activat

You might try putting a standard door/window sensor next to the coil that throws the doorbell striker. When the button is pressed, it turns into a magnet to move the striker. Should activate a magnetic sensor...

Re: Virtual Sensor???

The protocol doesn't make a difference due to the fact that the data is received on the RPi and can be transferred into the ZWay environment by any means necessary. I'm still looking into this but, for the moment, I've abandoned it for a few other more important projects.

Got it. I have a little tweaking left to do but I'll upload it when I'm done.

Re: Virtual Sensor???

The Arduino sends the data to the RPi as a JSON string over a wireless XBee link. I hadn't thought of using the web page that's displaying the information anyhow as a way to pull data into ZWay. I was just looking to update it every so often kind of like updating a dummy device. Will look into that....

Re: Virtual Sensor???

My water heater is solar and is operated by an Arduino controller. The data is sent to the RPi and is used to update a display. I would be updating the Virtual Sensor by way of one of the API's that are available. Kind of like a the current Dummy Device that could be used in rules and such but reall...

Virtual Sensor???

This may have been answered before but I haven't been able to find it (even though I seem to find references to it). Is there any way to create a virtual sensor? I'd like to be able to import a few things around the house, such as the temperature of my water heater, that I'm already monitoring but I...
