MagicMirror Pimatic (Home Automation) Dashboard

Hello,

I also installed your great module to observe the pimatic-sensor data on my MM.
The normal systemsensor-temps are perfectly shown. But how can I get the values of my dht22-sensor because the class dhtsensor has no attributes. It delivers 2 values (Temp and humidity).

Is there any solution?

Thanks a lot.
Sandy

Hi Sandy, how is your dht22-sensor connected? Is the sensor direct connected to the Rasperry GPIO pins and you use the plugin “dht-sensors”?
What shows up for the sensor if you create a listing of “variables” from your pimatic menu?

@Mr.Sponti
Thanks for your response.
Yes, i use the dht-sensors plugin. It is directly connected to GPIO-Pin22

Here is a Screenshot of a part of the device-config. Perhaps it‘s helpful.

Thank you
Sandy

And the second menu area:

[ganther]

Oh sorry, I didn‘t recognize the variables menue entry before oO🤦‍♂️

It shows $dht22.temperature and .humidity

I will try these ones in config.

[ganther]

Yes, Temperatur is shown.
But with 13 digits behind ‚.‘ just like 24.1234567890123

Is there a way to cut after 1 or 2 digits behind ‚.‘?
And a way to select another unit (% instead of degree) or do i have to move it to the notification board?

Thanks again
Sandy

Rounding of the values is not a big issue as there is a method '.toFixed(2) ’ available. At the moment the unit specified in the config file is assigned to all values in the table. To implement the value rounding and a individual unit for every value I need to enhance the code. I will put it on my action list for the next version.

Thank you very much!

One last thought:

If you add this feature in one of the next versions, it would be fantastic, if you could implement it on notification-board too (rounding and unit).
Then one module would be enough, it looks very nice and I would save one module-space.

Hi Sandy,
to display temperature and the humidity of your DST sensor in the Notification Board with rounded values and the right units should already possible. Try to use the following approach:

1. In pimatic create a VariableDevice with a string variable and assign a string including your temperature and humidity Variable.attributes of your DST sensor.
   (e.q. “Livingroom temperature {round($DST_Temperature,1)} °C - humidity {round($DST_Humidity,1)} %”

2. Configure the new VariableDevice into the Notification Board of the MMM-Pimatic module

I didn’t test that, but it should work in that way.
