I suspect it would be easier to understand if I had some official sensors myself. I suspect that some experimentation is in order! I&#8217;ll connect a variable voltage to the detection pin and watch what sensor types the box detects at each voltage. With an ADC connected to my computer I might be able to automate the process&#8230; but that is probably more effort than it is worth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Smart Box Analogue Sensor Types Based on the responses from the &#8220;ReadSensorTable&#8221; command in my Economatics Smart Box SB-04, I&#8217;ve concluded that the following official sensor exist : Index Name Val1 Val2 Units 3 Temp range 1 Tmp Temp degC 4 Voltage range 1 V Volts mV 5 Temp range 2 Tmp Temp degC 6 [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1046,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"spay_email":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_is_tweetstorm":false},"categories":[6,13,169,12,152,153,260],"tags":[7,247,65,261,250,259,248],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/elephantandchicken.co.uk\/stuffandnonsense\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/IMG_20200223_150134.jpg","jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p7g9vY-ht","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/elephantandchicken.co.uk\/stuffandnonsense\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1083"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/elephantandchicken.co.uk\/stuffandnonsense\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/elephantandchicken.co.uk\/stuffandnonsense\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/elephantandchicken.co.uk\/stuffandnonsense\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/elephantandchicken.co.uk\/stuffandnonsense\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1083"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/elephantandchicken.co.uk\/stuffandnonsense\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1083\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1084,"href":"https:\/\/elephantandchicken.co.uk\/stuffandnonsense\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1083\/revisions\/1084"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/elephantandchicken.co.uk\/stuffandnonsense\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/1046"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/elephantandchicken.co.uk\/stuffandnonsense\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1083"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/elephantandchicken.co.uk\/stuffandnonsense\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1083"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/elephantandchicken.co.uk\/stuffandnonsense\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1083"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
