i mean, reading temperature and humidity values from a dht11 sensor is fairly easy since you can just declare:

TemperatureSensor temperature("Temperature");
TemperatureSensor humidity("Humidity");

but i also want to read values from my water level sensor and this is where i get stumped. i've checked the rainmaker documentation numerous times already but there is no specific type for adding this kind of device:

Code: Select all

Standard Devices

Classes are defined for the standard devices.

Creating object of these class creates the standard device with default parameters to it.

Class for standard devices

Switch

LightBulb

TemperatureSensor

Fan

or yknow, maybe i'm just missing something? how can i include the water level sensor to my rainmaker app? any help is much appreciated

Water level sensor is not a standard device/parameter, so you will have to create custom ones

Eg.
custom device:
my_device = new Device("Water Sensor", "my.device.water-sensor", NULL);

custom param:
Eg. Param sensor("Level", "my.param.water-level", value(0), PROP_FLAG_READ);

Add custom param to the custom device
my_device->addParam(sensor);
