I am not sure what I am missing. I just added an Ecowitt multi-channel Thermo-Hygrometer sensor.
After resending the Ecowitt gateway device in Hubitat,it shows up correctly.
While I can use the device for either a trigger or a comparison in an app, it does not show up as a device for setting a variable.
Any suggestions?
Can you show the setup of the variable?
You need to look for a device called TempHumidity from the list in your first screenshot.
(,My bad, the variable is not likely the issue)
Select Sensor Value, not Device Attribute. Also, just use Changed for the trigger, instead of not equal to zero.
Sensor value worked. Thanks…
Hmmm... That's interesting... Will have to check that one out myself .. I would have thought attribute would have worked.
It depends on the device. I can use my Ambient Weather station with device attribute, but you don't get the option for offsets, so Sensor Value works better if you need that.
I know it's a year later...but I'm questioning when it is appropriate to use the one vs the other in general.
Is this just trial and error based on the particular device & driver and if you want offsets presented...
OR is the additional differentiator that the Device Attribute gives you the Sensor Value +/- the adjustment that you might have set IN THE DRIVER SETTINGS if the driver page allows for it?
So are you saying that there is no selection which offers you a number which ALREADY has been adjusted per the OFFSET setting adjustment field in the typical driver where such is helpful for generic (and perhaps global?) corrections to a sensor's reading? Which would mean you would have to remember to adjust any sensor disparity from actual each and every time you used it as above.
