Temperature device

Hi,
cool, it would be nice if you could share your code. For the temperature sensor you must emit a "temperature" event and let the getTemperature function return the current temperature (in a promise).

You could for example emit a temperature event every 5 seconds:

class YourTemperatureSensor extends env.devices.TemperatureSensor
  temperature: null

  constructor: (@config) ->
    # update the temperature every 5 seconds
    setInterval( =>
      @doYourStuff()
    , 5000
    )

  doYourStuff: (values) ->
    # temperature = ...
    @temperature = temperature
    @emit "temperature", temperature

  getTemperature: -> Q(@temperature)

Create the Temperature Device like the switch. If you need further help, just ask.

Thanks for reply. Not sure how to start with it. Do I need to create a new file using the above code or add it to an existing file?

Its your choice. I would add it to the same. You can look at the pilight plugin for an example: https://github.com/pimatic/pimatic-pilight/blob/master/pilight.coffee#L214-L225

Still trying to do my first test one using the example of

class YourTemperatureSensor extends env.devices.TemperatureSensor
temperature: null

constructor: (@config) ->
# update the temperature every 5 seconds
setInterval( =>
@doYourStuff()
, 5000
)

doYourStuff: (values) ->
# temperature = ...
@temperature = temperature
@emit "temperature", temperature

getTemperature: -> Q(@temperature)

but getting the following error and not sure which device ID its referring to. Any suggestions?

Could you please use Syntax Highlighting/code blocks in your post?

You must set a id and name property like in the switch device for your YourTemperatureSensor in the constructor function:

@name = "some name or from config"
@id = "some-id"
