Arduino Shield Suggestions?

[ogiewon]

If any of you are still curious how to expose multiple inputs/outputs on one Arduino as individual top level tiles, please take a look at my new ST_Anything_Doors project. In this example, I expose 4 Contact Sensor devices and 2 Door Control devices from one Arduino as 6 individual tiles that standard SmartApps can use without customization.

Announcing the "ST_Anything" Arduino/ThingShield Project

All, As promised, I have rewritten my old Garage Door Arduino Application (now called ST_Anything_Doors) using my new ST_Anythings and SmartThings libraries. ST_Anything_Doors utilizes a DHT22 temperature/humidity sensor instead of the Dallas Semiconductor DS18B20 sensor. I have also added a Motion sensor to keep an eye on the interior of the garage. ST_Anythings_Doors includes a new standard SmartThings Device Capability in the form of a “Door Control” device. I have written a new C++ class called IS_DoorControl for the Arduino to implement the Door Control capability which is typically used for a garage door. This class includes a digital input for a magnetic contact sensor as well as a self-timed relay output for “pressing the button” to open/close the garage door. Please read t…
