this file http://sourceforge.net/projects/homegenie/files/homegenie-beta_1.00.r403_all.deb/download

[codedmind]

The program is working now

[Gene]

glad to hear that
let me know if there are some improvements we can make to it.

Cheers,

Ok i will

Next steps i will try and make a module to read same value in a webpage so i get the power consumption in watts

cheers

Gene,

Can you send me some directions how to start a module? python/javscript or even c# i have an arduino in my rpi so i need to read serial port and i even have a webpage to scrap so i can get the consumption energy. I try all day find a way but no success.

Thanks

Hi, all

After I follow the AdaFruit hardware install of the DS18B20, What needs to be done in HG?

Can't seem to get it to work. On Pin 22 on RPI. Using Pin 4 for the DHT-11, which takes long before it's first reading after a RPI reboot.

Hi Bitcraze,

did you try this app?

http://www.homegenie.it/forum/index.php?topic=351.msg2074#msg2074

do not forget to load 1-wire modules first (either from a terminal or in /etc/modules):

Code: [Select]

modprobe w1-gpio
modprobe w1-therm

Cheers,

Hi, Gene

Still no luck.

Does the DS18B20 work by default in R416, with 1-wire enabled, or should I:

modprobe w1-gpio
modprobe w1-therm

[Bitcraze]

Hi, Gene

Should I also enable MCP3008, for this to work?

[Bitcraze]

Hi, Gene

Ah, working great on GPIO 4! Have also managed to get working on GPIO 24, with and added entry in command.txt

1) Added this to startup file:
modprobe w1-gpio
modprobe w1-therm

2) Checked the ID
3) Entered the ID

Thanks so much Gene!

Hi there,

Is there a way to add more than 3 sensors ?

[Marco]

Hi StatX,
go to configuration, automation, devices and things, One-Wire Devices, change this value "Connected sensors number" (I tried with 5 sensor and work well) and restart.

then you can add the other sensors

My experience here: http://www.homegenie.it/forum/index.php?topic=423.msg2394#msg2394
