4. Read temperature using python

Read temperature using python

  • N

    Hi,

    New to unipi and not an expert in python.

    I'd like to use the temperature on the unipi to decide if I need to switch on a fan. I'm stuck at the beginning

    #!/usr/bin/python
    from jsonrpclib import Server
    s=Server("http://ip.of.pi.on.unipi/rpc")
    print s.owbus_list(1)

    shows
    {u'DS18S20': [], u'DS2438': [], u'DS18B20': [u'28A45A5306000037', u'281F8253060000A8']}

    So 1-wire is working and correctly connected.

    How to proceed?
    I tried to search in examples on owfs, however they mount the result of the 1-wire and use cat <file> to read the contents. That's not what I want; I'd like to use the api

    in owclient.py, under the DS18B20, I see:
    def read_val_from_sens(self, sens):

    So how do I use this?
    I have tried s.read_val_from_sens('28A45A5306000037') however results in method not implemented.

    Besides this, how can I switch on/off a relay?

    Many thanks
    Paul

    Hello Paul,

    see https://github.com/UniPiTechnology/evok ... le-methods

    You can get just the value by sensor_get_value(address) method or all information about the sensor by sensor_get(address).

    So in your case, it is: s.sensor_get('28A45A5306000037')

    Best regards,
    Tomas

    That simple. Overlooking the obvious… Many thanks, Tomas. It works...
