Hi folks, I found these LoRa soil sensors and they’re exactly what i’ve been looking for for! I think i’ve gotten the code to format a proper json message: #include <avr/wdt.h> #include <avr/sleep.h> //#include <RadioLib.h> #include "I2C_AHT10.h" #include <Wire.h> #include <SPI.h> #include <LoRa.…

If you want the ADC value within the message, try: - platform: mqtt name: "Soil_1_ADC" state_topic: "home/OMG_01/LORAtoMQTT" value_template: '{{ (value_json.message|from_json).adc }}'

Thinking about this some more, it might be possible to filter the value_json to remove the extra crap… I’ll see tomorrow…

@Refuge When posting code (including MQTT messages) please surround it with backticks (key near Escape) or use the Preformatted text button in the editor. At least one of your issues above is due to copying the “smart quotes” from a post into your code. Look at the difference in quotes: “rssi” ver…

Thank you @Troon this confirms my suspicion! I also suspected that the backticks were the way to go. I’ll continue do that from now on. I appreciate all your advice! Thanks

@DavidFW1960 what would you advise? fiddling with the arduino code to get it out better? or trying to remove “extra crap”? Yesterday I did play with the arduino code and got this before i gave up : {"rssi":-46,"snr":9.5,"pferror":12993,"packetSize":30,"message":"tempc: 21.18hum: 49.17adc: 731"} B…

Since this worked I got a few more sensors; is there any way to distinguish Soil_1_ADC from Soil_2_ADC using the name identifier in the json message? Thanks in advance!

I would have thought something like this would work: - platform: mqtt name: "Soil_1_ADC" state_topic: "home/OMG_01/LORAtoMQTT" value_template: >- {% if (value_json.message|from_json).name == "Soil_1" %} {{ (value_json.message|from_json).adc }} {% else %} {{ states("sensor.…

Yep that worked! Thank you so much!

Actually, not sure where this is coming from but now it behaves strangely. At first everythig appeared ok, then i noticed strange jumps in values. The values seem to add up at times. let’s say get 70 on soil_1 and had a reading of 70 on soil_2 Then i press the reset button on soil_1, I get 70 o…

I can’t see how that behaviour can be coming from the sensor definitions you pasted. Have a look at what messages are on the MQTT bus using something like MQTT Explorer or if you have a free Pi / Linux machine on the network, install mosquitto and run: mosquitto_sub -h YOUR_BROKER_IP -t "#" -v

Json question for new sensor

Amazing! That did it. Thank you!

Is there a way to have all the sensors grouped like David’s coffee maker shown here earlier?

This is so awesome I can’t wait to make a posting to share with the community!!!
Thanks!
