Can't set custom unit of measurement

Open seant100 opened this issue 7 years ago • 3 comments

How can i set a custom unit of measurement for a sensor. One example I would like is to have litres / second, litres / minute or litres / hour.

@seant100 If you know java here is the file you have to put entry and create PULL request.

Otherwise please elobrate your requirement bit more.

@jkandasa I do see the following in the MySensors documentation V_FLOW 34 Flow of water (in meter) S_WATER V_VOLUME 35 Water volume S_WATER

The description for V_FLOW saying (in meter) cannot be correct as flow is not measured "in meter". Flow is a rate in litres per second, litres per minute, litres per hour etc. These flow rate units are not currently available in MyController.

The description for V_VOLUME is a bit lacking but water volume is in a unit like "litres". This is not a unit available for selection in MyController at the moment..

If adding a custom option is not an option, then perhaps you can expand on the units allowed per sensor variable type.
