Plugin for serial (USB) connection with arduino
hello,
my arduino is working as sensor for several values:
temp in central heating room, electricity meter and fluid level for oil tank.
I want to send these values via USB connection to pimatic.
is this possible with pimatic-athome plugin ?
I do not have any jeenodes and Serialcommand.h library is used for receiving
data on serial connection. Not for sending data.
any ideas ?
thanks o lot
@xeniades pimatic-athome is for the communication with remote sensors involving JeeNodes. If you really have wired your sensors directly to the Arduino which you want to connect to Raspi via USB, have a look pimatic-homeduino and pimatic-johnny-five. Note, however, both plugins require a specific sketch to be burnt on Arduino. So you need to find out which plugin serves best your needs (both can be extended of course to add more device abstractions).
What I am curious about: Do you already have everything wired-up? Is it a single Arduino you’re using? Is it possible for you to place the Raspi-Board next to it?

@mwittig : yes. everything is wired. arduino mega is beside power distribution and is directly connected with three electricity meter with s0 interface. One for each currentphase. Second arduino in heating room with temp and ultrasonic sensors is connected on serial2 (5m). I have also a small webserver running on arduino mega for displaying the values. but I want to show the values in nice pimatic as chart.
yes. it is possible to place the raspi also beside power distribution.
@xeniades you write: …directly connected with three electricity meter with s0 interface.
exaktli how du you connect the S0? Do you use some optokoppler?
Pimatic 0.9 i love it!
