Temperature Sensor?

[onesunnyday]

Does anyone know of a straightforward way to measure the ambient temperature of a room, and that can be easily integrated into a room in control4?

The C4-Z2IO has a built in temperature and humidity sensor that is very easily integrated in to control4. This little box is awesome, it even works as a zigbee extender after a recent firmware update.

You can also use a Phillip Hue sensor if you have a Phillip Hue hub (Need a driver too)

We have one of these in Bedroom good bit of kit

The C4-Z2IO are great but they seem kind of expensive to just get a temperature reading.  Aren't they about US$150?

integrated you mean so like you can go to comfort and check a room and see the temp, or just program against it?

if you just want to program against it these pieces are cheap and connect via IFTTT so with the IFTTT driver you can program off its results:

Those look cool and they appear to have an open API.  It would be great  if someone wrote a C4 driver.  It appears that an HTML get will retrieve data in JSON format.

Here is the code to get the temp into a web page:

$.ajaxSetup({
	type: "POST",
	contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
	cache: false,
	dataType: "json",
	xhrFields: {
		withCredentials: true
	}
});

$.ajax({url: "https://www.mytaglist.com/ethLogShared.asmx/GetLatestTemperatureRawDataByUUID",
        data: JSON.stringify({uuid: "0f32cb87-eb86-4a60-9e66-e0cfd661cba1"}),
        success: function (retval, textStatus) {
            $("#displayx").text(((retval.d.temp_degC * 1.8) + 32).toFixed(2));
            $("#datetime").text(retval.d.time);
        },
        error: function (xhr, textStatus, exception) {
            alert(textStatus);
        }
       });

yea i guess they are a bit expensive if your just using it for temp readings, they're £130 here in the UK.

for the price with IFTTT integration its nice.  if we could get better integration and the ability to see the temp in C4 that would be great.

You can always program it to display on a Yatun thermostat driver.

there ya go - maybe problem solved, though it wasnt my problem since i only needed it to execute programming vs having to see the actual temp.
