Dear Ubidots members,
i’m trying to send temperature & humidity data retrieved from the TH02 sensor (http://wiki.seeed.cc/Grove-TemptureAndHumidity_Sensor-High-Accuracy_AndMini-v1.0/) linked to my Arduino Linkit One to my Ubidots account.
Unfortunately i’m not very good at coding.
This is the code i got so far, the initial code for TH02 works fine in the serial monitor, but how do i send this to my ubidots account? I have created the variables; i followed the guide but it works with “INT” and not with “FLOATS”.
Any help would be appreciated here.
#include <TH02_dev.h> // this is my temperature & humidity sensor
#include "Arduino.h"
#include "Wire.h"
#include <LGPRS.h> //include the base GPRS library
#include <LGPRSClient.h> //include the ability to Post and Get information using HTTP
#include <LGPRSUdp.h>
#include <LWiFi.h>
#include <LWiFiClient.h>
#define WEBSITE "things.ubidots.com"
#define URL "/api/v1.6/collections/values/?token=MYTOKEN&force=true"
#define idvariable1 "xxxxxxxxx"
#define idvariable2 "xxxxxxxxx"
#define WIFI_AP "xxxxxxxxx"
#define WIFI_PASSWORD "xxxxxxxxxx!!"
#define WIFI_AUTH LWIFI_WPA // choose from LWIFI_OPEN, LWIFI_WPA, or LWIFI_WEP.
const int PACKET_SIZE = 3;
byte packetBuffer[PACKET_SIZE];
LGPRSUDP u;
char payload[180]; // Reserve a char to store the Ubidots data. Account for 60 bytes per variable.
char le[4];
String response;
int temp;
void setup()
LWiFi.begin();
// keep retrying until connected to AP
Serial.println("Connecting to AP");
while (0 == LWiFi.connect(WIFI_AP, LWiFiLoginInfo(WIFI_AUTH, WIFI_PASSWORD)))
{
delay(1000);
}
Serial.println("Connected to WiFi");
}
// everything below works fine in the serial monitor, but how do i send this to UBIDOTS?
{
Serial.begin(115200); // start serial for output
Serial.println("****TH02_dev demo by seeed studio****\n");
/* Power up,delay 150ms,until voltage is stable */
delay(150);
/* Reset HP20x_dev */
TH02.begin();
delay(100);
/* Determine TH02_dev is available or not */
Serial.println("TH02_dev is available.\n");
}
void loop()
{
float temper = TH02.ReadTemperature();
Serial.println("Temperature: ");
Serial.print(temper);
Serial.println("C\r\n");
float humidity = TH02.ReadHumidity();
Serial.println("Humidity: ");
Serial.print(humidity);
Serial.println("%\r\n");
delay(1000);
}
Many thanks in advance for any assistance!
Hello @robken77,
Once you are able to read the variables properly you have to build the HTTP request to Ubidots to be able to handle the data with the platform, the vaues supported by the platform are float, integer or string numbers. To know how to build the request you can reference to the the Ubidots REST API Reference. Also, the following guide will serve you as guide to build the request properly.
Let us know if you have any additional question.
All the best,
Maria C.
The issue is resolved.
For anyone interested in the code, using the TH02 sensor in combination with the Arduino Linkit One, hereby the full code:
