7.14. EasySensors
PoKeys57 series devices implement a feature called EasySensors. It is an improvement of the original
support for various sensors in PoKeys56 series devices. EasySensors feature allows the user to setup
up to 100 sensors on various communication buses (including I
2
C, 1-wire, DHTxx 1-wire and analog
inputs). The feature is accessible in Peripherals > EasySensors menu.
EasySensors configuration dialog
The main EasySensors configuration dialog contains a list of all configured sensors with
corresponding sensor information. Here, the sensory type, reading and refresh rate can be changed.
Figure 30: EasySensors configuration dialog
The changed sensor entries are marked with red color - in order for the changes to take effect, click
on ‘Send to device’ button, which transfers the EasySensors configuration to device (note that this
action does not save the settings to device’s non-volatile memory and ‘Send to device’ on main
PoKeys configuration window must be clicked to do that).
There are 4 types of sensors supported and each type of sensor can be added by clicking a
corresponding button at the bottom of the dialog.
