Arduino Smartthing help

I’m trying to send data from 4 sensros, 2 temperature and 2 pressure, using an ARDUINO w/smarthings shield. I know this hardware is no longer supported by Smartthings.,

I just need to display the 2 temperatures and 2 pressures on a smartphone. I need both an Arduino application program and a Deice Handler. I’m very familiar with Arduino coding, but not how to communicate to the Smartthings HUB.

I was able to connect the Smartthngs shield to my hub, and turn the LED on/off on the shield using the switch device handler.

Any help with this would be much appreciated.

This should help (this is a clickable link),

Also, you can check the quick browse lists in the community – created wiki and look under either sensor projects or miscellaneous device type handlers for more Arduino discussion threads.

My ST_Anything library and associated DTH’s are exactly what you’re looking for. You’ll be up in and running in no time at all.

Not sure what pressure sensors you’re planning on using. If you let me know, I can explain the best method of adding them.

Dan,
Sorry I didn’t get back to you sooner.

I’ve completed the Arduino coding for a POOL PUMP Controller. My son has upgraded to a pump with several presets. I’ve enclosed the .ino. As you can see from the code it’s pretty basic, 4 relays to control the pump (2) and valves (2).
We are monitoring 2 temps and 2 pressures, which we’d like ti display on Smartthings APP (iPhone).
So:1. What should I add to FPH_controller.ino to send temp amd pressure data to the device handler ?
2. What should the device handler look like on the smartthings side ?

First, I don’t see your Arduino Sketch in your post.

Second, the ST_Anything model assumes you start with one of the ST_Anything example sketches to kickstart your project. From there, you modify the example to make it uniquely fit your application. You don’t mention the types of sensors you’ve attached to the Arduino. ST_Anything supports many devices, but not everything. So, for example, if you chose temperature sensors that are not supported by ST_Anything, you’ll have some additional work ahead.

Another possibility is for you to simply ADD SmartThings ThingShield support to your existing sketch. To do so, you would probably want to start with one of my “SmartThings” library’s example sketches. Once you understand how that works, you could modify your sketch.

On the ST Groovy DTH side of things, you can either reuse my DTH code, or roll your own. ST_Anything is designed to be used with my DTH’s, as it fully automates the creation of Child Devices, one for each device you attach to the Arduino. If you choose to not use ST_Anything, but instead just use the “SmartThings” communications library, you can still use my DTH’s, but you’ll need to make sure you follow my standard ‘name value’ convention for sending data to ST. That naming convention is used to automatically create and manage Child Devices.

Until I see your sketch, it is very hard for me to suggest a path forward.

Dan,
Not sure what happened there. I checked my sent folder and it was there. I’ll include again, this time as .rtf.
I really appreciate any help you can give me. I’m not a programmer by profession, but do understand the basics, so go easy on me.
I have tried to get your ST_Anythnig to work, but no luck…I’m sure it’s pilot error. Will have another go.
Best Wishes…Brian

Brian,

If you’re trying to email me the code, it will not work as you are actually posting to the SmartThings forum in a private message to me.

Copy and paste your Arduino code into the forum’s Private Message system, as a reply to this message.

PLEASE be sure to highlight/select all of your Arduino code after you paste it into the forum editor, and then click the Preformatted Text menu button that looks like < / > so that the code is readable.

Dan,

Hope this works…

BRIAN
