Temperature sensor

MrFlan

Good morning all,

I am coming to you because I would like to add a room temperature sensor to my current Awtrix.

1) I cannot find the documentation (out or order site?) To integrate the sensor into my ESP8266

2) I don't know, once the sensor is connected, how to display the result on my matrix, with which app, code etc. If someone can explain it to me, it will be a great pleasure!

Thank you for your answers 🙂

Download the BME App

Thank you for your answer.

I have installed the module as indicated in the doc, but on my Awtrix, there is written 0 deg, 0%, and 0HPA .. Why?

Blueforcer

Does your MAtrix write "Temp" with a green checkmark after boot?

MrFlan

Blueforcer Wifi ✓, Host ✓, and after the time is displayed

MrFlan

I checked my wiring, everything is in accordance with the documentation.
I don't understand why it's always write 0 ° ..

Blueforcer

If the matrix doesnt show "temp" at the beginning, it cannot start the sensor. therefore you will see 0°.
Do you have the correcct sensor and make sure you have the right voltage attached?

MrFlan

do you know what is the problem ? I use GY-521 MPU-6050, it's maybe for that ..

Blueforcer

Then you didnt read the documentation. Its made for the BME280 or Htu21d. Other sensors wont work

Blueforcer Maybe DHT10 can be used on AWTRIX, Github has a branch that supports DHT10, from a Chinese developer. https://github.com/yinbaiyuan/AWTRIX2.0-Controller

I'v finaly buy a BME280 ! 😉 But i don't need use all the app, i just need to display temperature, how i can modify the app ?

Blueforcer

MrFlan You can find the sourcecode on Github

MrFlan

Wow .. i have some coding basics but now .. i thought i could just modify the application from the file on my computer ..

Blueforcer

Unfortunately not, the app itself have no option to disable values

MrFlan

Blueforcer ok thanks anyway i will try to see what i can do
