Hi,
I'm testing your project and I'm pleased with functionalities and interface, so thank you for sharing this project !
I configured a test setup with some relays and a DS18B20 temperature sensor and it's working.
Now I try to add a BMP180 pressure sensor. But I'm wondering how to add it in the hardware settings. In the controllercmd, should I just select "pressuresensor" ? I could find in this field "DS18B20" for temperature sensor, so I was looking for "BMP180", but maybe it's what is under "pressuresensor".
And I should configure I2C for pin #1 and #2 ?
Is there a way to add a driver for unsupported sensors ? I'm an embedded software developper, so I have knowledge for this, but I'm not used to work on linux kernel. So if you can guide on where to add drivers, and how to add entries to the hardware configuration, I may be able to add a sensor.
Another question, about the TimeTrigger I see in the default configurations. I didn't understand its role... Could you explain what it is used for ?
I followed the starting guide, and tried to browse documentation. But if I missed this information, sorry, and maybe just redirect me to the documentation.
Thanks
Got the two sensors today, when I have time I'll start the integration.
I follow up on this too. :) As I have also BME/BMP 280 which is currently not supported. Thanks Angelo!
Just purchased 2 sensors from aliexpress. Maybe in some months it will be integrated.
I don't know why it is assumed that random sensors are supported in the Software.
The list of supported sensor of hydrosys4 SW is in this link:
https://hydrosysblog.wordpress.com/hardware/
Anyway if it is supported by a python module, It can be integrated in some future release.
But it should be also tested to be sure that things works fine, so I need to get the sensor here. Things are not so simple when we speak about hardware.
Hi,
Having the same issue here with the BME/BMP 280. From the command line everything works fine, I see the required information. See picture below.
When trying to configure Pressure and Temp control, no values were red from the module. I followed the instructions above, but I'm not able to selecte controllercmd "pressuresensor", see pasted dropdown below.
Below the current settings.
Can you be of any help?
Regards, Felix.
Hello,
Thank you for your answer, pressure sensor is now working fine.
I will check the doc and continue to explore the project.

Hi There,
Thanks for using the system, this is the first time I got feedback about the DS18B20 and fortunately it is working :).
Yes, the pressure sensor, this was one of the first sensor that I have integrated couple of years ago and I agree the name is too generic (at that time I had no clue the SW would have grown in this way).
Below for your reference the setting I have in my testing system:
The I2C is set only for the "pin" field, "pin2" is not relevant in this case.
Regarding adding sensor, I appreciate support for sensor integration. Anything that can be read from python module level it is ok for me, I can then add the necessary steps to integrate the module to the system (or write a short guide to do it).
Regarding the Timetrigger, this is used to trigger periodic events. For example in my greenhouse I use it to switch on the ventilation.
I see some sort of explanation hidden in the "greenhouse project" page under the chapter "2. Light Control ".
If it is not enough, let me know I'll try to explain better.
Regards,
Angelo
