aREST Sensor

<hr class="divider">
<p>The <code>arest</code> sensor platform allows you to get all data from your devices (like Arduinos with a ethernet/wifi connection, the ESP8266, and the Raspberry Pi) running the <a href="http://arest.io/">aREST</a> RESTful framework.</p>
<p>To use your aREST enabled device in your installation, add the following to your <code>configuration.yaml</code> file:</p>
<div class="highlighter-coderay"><div class="CodeRay">
<div class="code"><pre><span class="comment"># Example configuration.yaml entry</span>
<span class="key">sensor</span>:
<span class="key">platform</span>: <span class="string"><span class="content">arest</span></span>
<span class="key">resource</span>: <span class="string"><span class="content">http://IP_ADDRESS</span></span>
<span class="key">name</span>: <span class="string"><span class="content">Office</span></span>
<span class="key">monitored_variables</span>:

<span class="key">unit_of_measurement</span>: <span class="string"><span class="content">'°C'</span></span>
<span class="key">value_template</span>: <span class="string"><span class="content">'{{ value | round(1) }}'</span></span>

<span class="key">pins</span>:

</pre></div>
</div>
</div>
<p>Configuration variables:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>resource</strong> (<em>Required</em>): IP address and schema of the device that is exposing an aREST API, e.g. http://192.168.1.10.</li>
<li><strong>name</strong> (<em>Optional</em>): Let you overwrite the the name of the device. By default <em>name</em> from the device is used.</li>
<li><strong>monitored_variables</strong> array (<em>Optional</em>): List of exposed variables.
<ul>
<li><strong>name</strong> (<em>Required</em>): The name of the variable you wish to monitor.</li>
<li><strong>unit</strong> (<em>Optional</em>): Defines the units of measurement of the sensor, if any.</li>
<li><strong>value_template</strong> (<em>Optional</em>): Defines a <a href="/getting-started/templating/">template</a> to extract a value from the payload.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><strong>pins</strong> array (<em>Optional</em>): List of pins to monitor. Analog pins need a leading <strong>A</strong> for the pin number.
<ul>
<li><strong>name</strong> (<em>Optional</em>): The name of the variable you wish to monitor.</li>
<li><strong>unit_of_measurement</strong> (<em>Optional</em>): Defines the unit of measurement of the sensor, if any.</li>
<li><strong>value_template</strong> (<em>Optional</em>): Defines a <a href="/getting-started/templating/">template</a> to extract a value from the payload.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p>The variables in the <code>monitored_variables</code> array must be available in the response of the device. As a starting point you could use the one of the example sketches (eg. <a href="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/marcoschwartz/aREST/master/examples/Ethernet/Ethernet.ino">Ethernet</a> for an Arduino with Ethernet shield). In those sketches are two variables (<code>temperature</code> and <code>humidity</code>) available which will act as endpoints.</p>
<p>Accessing one of the endpoints (eg. http://192.168.1.10/temperature) will give you the value inside a JSON response.</p>
<div class="highlighter-coderay"><div class="CodeRay">
<div class="code"><pre>{<span class="key"><span class="delimiter">&quot;</span><span class="content">temperature</span><span class="delimiter">&quot;</span></span>: <span class="integer">23</span>, <span class="key"><span class="delimiter">&quot;</span><span class="content">id</span><span class="delimiter">&quot;</span></span>: <span class="string"><span class="delimiter">&quot;</span><span class="content">sensor01</span><span class="delimiter">&quot;</span></span>, <span class="key"><span class="delimiter">&quot;</span><span class="content">name</span><span class="delimiter">&quot;</span></span>: <span class="string"><span class="delimiter">&quot;</span><span class="content">livingroom</span><span class="delimiter">&quot;</span></span>, <span class="key"><span class="delimiter">&quot;</span><span class="content">connected</span><span class="delimiter">&quot;</span></span>: <span class="value">true</span>}
</pre></div>
</div>
</div>
<p>The root will give you a JSON response that contains all variables and their current values along with some device details.</p>
<div class="highlighter-coderay"><div class="CodeRay">
<div class="code"><pre>{

<p><code>return_value</code> contains the sensors data in a JSON response for a given pin (eg. http://192.168.1.10/analog/2/ or http://192.168.1.10/digital/7/).</p>
