Step 1
Read moreIn this step, we will connect Water Level Sensor HW-038 but in order to recognize the possible water leak.
So firstly we have to connect the sensor to our schema that was built in previous part of this tutorial series:
The connection scheme is (Resistors are not required, but they allow to avoid interference):
To get it working we need to write some code. In order to make the logic that we want, we need to use Arduino interrupts. In our case, we will use attachInterrupt() function with mode CHANGE to get information about value statuses (rising/falling). Our interruption function will set the flag that signaling is water leaking or not.
// in the global scope
#define water_level_sensor_pin 35
int water_level_changed = 0;
void setup() {
...
pinMode(water_level_sensor_pin, INPUT);
attachInterrupt(digitalPinToInterrupt(water_level_sensor_pin), water_level_alarm, CHANGE);
}
void water_level_alarm(void) {
water_level_changed = true;
}
void loop() {
...
if (water_level_changed) {
tb.sendTelemetryInt("Water level", digitalRead(water_level_sensor_pin));
water_level_changed = false; }
...
}Now let's upload code to your controller (Ctrl+U Or upload icon).
After the upload is done, we can add a widget for displaying the potential water leakage — the alarm widget on ThingsBoard.
If you want to also create alarms you can use this guide, and to display them please follow this instruction.Step 2
Now, we will gonna connect the light level sensor to our schema, it is the most simple part of this tutorial as it not requires an additional library or something else.
The connection scheme is:
In the code below, we read the analogue pin value and simply send it to our ThingsBoard widget.
// in the global scope
#define light_sensor_pin 32
int light_level = 0;
void loop() {
...
float R_light = analogRead(light_sensor_pin);
float lux = (250.0 / (0.0037 * R_light)) - 50.0;
Serial.println(lux);
tb.sendTelemetryFloat("Light level", lux);
...
}Upload the code to your controller (Ctrl+U Or upload icon).
And finally let's add a widget to your ThingsBoard dashboard, to do this follow the next steps:
1. Go to Dashboards groups > All.
2. Select dashboard in the list or create a new one, click on "Open dashboard" button.
3. Click on Edit button at the right bottom.
4. Click on Add new widget button > Create new widget.
5. Select Analogue gauges.
6. Select Radial gauge.
7. Add datasource (by selecting your device and telemetry key from it) and click on Add button.
8. In order to change the widget style you can use Advanced tab.
9. Now you can see the widget on your dashboard
If you have done all well, you see the values from the sensor in your ThingsBoard dashboard widget.
Code ListingYou can find it in the attached files.
