Temp Tracking does not seem to work as documented

1

Hi,

I cant seem to get Temp Tracking to work.

According to documentation (card Requests - API Reference - Blues Wireless Developers) I should be able to issue

{
  "req": "card.motion.mode",
  "start": true
}

to enable the accelerometer followed by

{
  "req": "card.temp",
  "minutes": 1
}

to have the temp written to _temp.qo every one minute.

But this does not happen.

Thanks,
Serge

Hi @ssozonoff,

I believe you want to use AUX track mode, per the doc you referenced:

{
  "req":  "card.aux",
  "mode": "track"
}

Hi,

So even if we are not using a BME280 external sensor we still need to set this ? I find the document a little misleading in this case. Its clear in the case of using the BME280 but if we just want to get the temp from the accelerometer I dont see what mode track would have to do with that.

Thanks,

OK just tried but I am still not getting it. Maybe temp tracking only works when using an external sensor ?

Thanks,

Hi @ssozonoff,

Sorry, but this is likely due to an error in our docs! I just ran through some tests and can replicate your issue. Can you try using seconds instead of minutes in your card.temp request, like so:

{"req":"card.temp","seconds":60}

And let me know if that works?

Hi,

I can confirm that it works better using “seconds” :slight_smile:
