[SOLVED] Multiple DS18B20

Hi

I got this sketch for multiple DS18B20. It deliver temperatures from all sensors in terminal window, but i can’t figure out how to got all sensors to publish temperatures to ubidots.com. The sketch makes a new device and one variable.


#include <UbidotsESPMQTT.h>
#include <OneWire.h>
#include <DallasTemperature.h>
/****************************************

#define TOKEN "XXXXXXXXXXXXXX" // Your Ubidots TOKEN

#define Pin D3

float temp;
OneWire ourWire(Pin);
DallasTemperature sensors(&ourWire);

Ubidots client(TOKEN, MQTTCLIENTNAME);

Please help me.

Hi there, use the add()five times to send individually your sensor’s reads, i.e if you want to send two different temperature sensors, the piece of code inside your firmware should look like the one below:

temp1 = sensors.getTempCByIndex(0);
client.add("temp-probe01", temp1);
temp2 = sensors.getTempCByIndex(1);
client.add("temp-probe02", temp2);
client.ubidotsPublish("motorrom");
client.loop();

Regards

Hi

I appreciate your help! When I tried to take your suggestion into my code I got these errors. Don’t be hard at me, I’m an beginner in coding… :wink:

You are receiving the issue ->“was not declared in this scope”, because the variables were not declared into the code. In order to fix the issue declare all the variable as float, for example:

float temp1 = sensors.getTempCByIndex(0);
float temp2 = sensors.getTempCByIndex(1);

All the best,
Maria C.

Your are my heros!

Is works, but when I add more than three “client.add”-lines it stop working. When I add the fourth line it don’t add another value at ubidots.com and the other values freezes. Is it some restriction as it don’t allow more than three variables in one device? Or is it something in my code as make the error?

The Ubidots MQTT library depends on a Pubsubclient client and the max length of the JSON dictionary to send by default is 128 bytes, if you want to send more than 3 variables please reference to the README of the library and follow the instrucctions provided.

All the best,
Maria C.

Believe it or not; I got it working! Learing new things every day. :slight_smile:

I have now connected five DS18B20-sensors (cheap ones), they show a bit different temperature. I it possible to set an temperature correction in the code? Or maybe it is the powersupply that is to week? What do you think?

I appreciate your help!

Hi there, take a look to the datasheet of the device on page 3, it seems that it has errors for temperatures range higher than 20 °C so that it is the reason for the differente lectures from your sensors. Also, if you use a higher resolution ADC than the one embedded in the Arduino or ESP boards, you may reduce your lecture errors.
