How to get temperature from a Vera TemperatureSensor device?

Questions
#1

Hello everyone,

I’m new to HR and I’m trying to migrate my VeraLite installation from ImperiHome to HR.
I was able to easily retrieve my devices in HR on my Android smartphone and even though they all appear in a long list, it seems to work, at least for the switches.
However all my temperature sensors are present in the list but none display the temperature.

While trying to understand the problem I noticed that the HR device binding offered the “Temperature” attribute but this is called “CurrentTemperature” in the Vera.

Could someone help me to get the temperature from my sensors?
I would like to create my own dashboard and I need to get these values from Vera ​​in HR variables to visualize them in text labels. Is this a good solution ?

Thanks for your help.

This is the Vera status of the device.

Could you not, just make a label, that shows the temperatur? That is what I do from Netatmo.

Yes, that’s what I’m trying to do but the label remains empty because the field “Temperature” doesn’t match with the “CurrentTemperature” field of the device in Vera.
To test I replaced the field with “id” and the id value is displayed correctly in the label.

I’m in UI5. The Vera plugin may be configured for UI7. I don’t know if there are differences in the fields between UI5 and UI7.

Does anyone know who is in charge of maintain the plugin code? or if it is possible to download the plugin code to modify it locally?

you could try the following:

  1. create a label
  2. in the properties of the label, go to Text
  3. select your Vera temp sensor under Device Binding, as you have already done.

If you now start the emulator, you should normally see the temperature in the label.

The VeraLite is really old, I suggest to use a other controller like the VeraPlus or a Hubbitat controller.
You can setup in HR which Vera UI you use:

Hello Kalle,
Thanks. I tried what you recommended. This roughly matched my first tests.
In the end, when I launch the simulator the label is empty then after 1 to 2 seconds the temperature value appears furtively before disappearing again. Weird.
I think you are right about the fact that the VeraLite and UI5 association is very old and is no longer suitable.
However the test shows that we are not far from the goal. I will continue to investigate in parallel with the HTTP solution.
