a question about display varabiles

[davecason]

Hi Folks,

I'm running a WiMos ESP8266 and I've got a OLED on it .....

For the most part it's working happy I've got it showing:
LINE 1: Uptime %uptime%
LINE 2: IP %ip%
LINE 3: System Time %systime%
LINE 4: Doh !!

I have a DS18b20 temperature probe on it an its showing the right value on the Devices Page.
It's task 2 and the Values are showing as Temperature 24.00 in the green box.
It's on GPIO-14(D5)

What way and format do I need to type in LINE 4 of the OLED task page to get it to display properly?

Cheers'

If your task is named Temperature and the value named Celsius you would enter this in the fourth line:

Code: Select all

[Temperature#Celsius]

And if you want to have the °C behind it you enter this:

Code: Select all

[Temperature#Celsius]degreeC

Hey grovkillen ......

Thanks for the response - it must be child-proof tho ...... still no luck.

Is it something dumb?

What version are you running?

Hi grovkillen,

I spoke too soon - when I got home my test system was working right so I coped the format over to my
working unit and - yes - I can now see the temps ! Thanks for your help .....

I'm gonna start a new thread about seeing if I can get the Notifications thing working for me.

I want to have the ESP see if it can email me a warning message if the temperature on the Hot Tub goes
below a specific set point. Sometimes my tub goes in to a SNS mode where the temperature sensors and
the hot tub's brain get out of wack and when that happens the whole tub shuts down and it starts to cool.
That's a bad thing, hence the monitoring with an ESP.

Time for more reading and learning ! BTW - The version's I'm on is: Mega-20181108

@grovkillen

I tried on mega-20181128 normal:

[Temperature#Celsius]degreeC

on the LCDDisplay LCD2004 module (Plugin12),
But there degreeC and degree_C did not work.
But ... {D} ...does work.

Something to document ? ... Or change ..?

[grovkillen]

The degree C is actually one character (° + C in one) and the LCD don't have that character in its chip. So on that one you cannot use it.

I will add that to the documentation.

Understood.
Thanks
