transmit a temperature value

[albert]

Hi

I would have to transmit a temperature value (setter)
But there is only one setter possible at ZUNO_SENSOR_MULTILEVEL_TEMPERATURE.

How is it possible to transmit temperature values via setter?

Thanks in advance

Hi,

i don't understand your problem here...

Do you want to send more than one temperature? Then you have to create a second channel for the second temperature and so on, as there is only one value per channel allowed.

And for Sensors there are only "getter" function allowed. "setter" functions are used to set the state of a switch or multilevel (dimmer).

There is an example with an analog sensor on the webpage, you can find it here.

If you need more help, please explain a little bit more in detail what you want to achieve and where the problem is.

Andreas.

Hi

I want to transfer a target temperature,
eg as with a Danfoss thermosta.,
As soon as this temperature is exceeded Z-Uno start a fan.

Thanks

Hi Gregor,

ah, ok, then you must use a ZUNO_SWITCH_MULTILEVEL(), with the "setter", but unfortunately will give you a GENERIC_TYPE_SWITCH_MULTILEVEL / SPECIFIC_TYPE_POWER_SWITCH_MULTILEVEL. That is basically a dimmer...

You can "misuse" it by defining that the target temperature is e.g. half of the value transmitted, which is limited to 0..99, giving you a 0..44.5 range with a resolution of 0.5. Or if you need negative temperature you can also use an offset of e.g. -10 to create a -10...34.5 range.

I think i read that it is planned to have a thermostat class added in one of the next releases, but i can't say for sure.
So it will not be perfect until such a class is implemented, but you can make it work.

If you don't need to change the threshold temperature so often, then it might also be possible to use a configuration register in the future to store this value. Configuration class is not yet available but i also think that it was promised for a future release.
