TEMPer / PCsensor temperature sensors

The TEMPer / PCsensor temperature sensors node-type reads out temperature and humidity measurements from TEMPer USB senors. These sensors are sold by PCsenser.

The implementation is tested against the following products:

• TEMPer2* eg. TEMPer2V1.3 (VID/PID 0x0c45/0x7401)
• TEMPerV1.4 (VID/PID 0x0c45/0x7401)
• TEMPerHUM (VID/PID 0x0c45/0x7402)

Prerequisites

This node-type requires libusb (>= 1.0.23).

Implementation

The source code of the node-type is available here: https://git.rwth-aachen.de/acs/public/villas/node/blob/master/lib/nodes/temper.cpp

Configuration

calibration.scale (double) = 1.0

A scaling factor for calibrating the sensor.

calibration.offset (double) = 0.0

An offset for calibrating the sensor.

bus (integer)

A filter applied to the USB bus number for selecting a specific sensor if multiple are available.

port (integer)

A filter applied to the USB port number for selecting a specific sensor if multiple are available.

Example

nodes = {
        temper_node = {
                type = "temper"

                calibration = {
                        scale = 1.0
                        offset = 0.0
                }

                bus = 0x1
                port = 0x1
        }
}
