aREST Sensor
</h1>
</header>
<hr class="divider">
<p>The <code class="highlighter-rouge">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 class="highlighter-rouge">configuration.yaml</code> file:</p>
<div class="language-yaml highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="c1"># Example configuration.yaml entry</span>
<span class="s">sensor</span><span class="pi">:</span>
<span class="pi">-</span> <span class="s">platform</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="s">arest</span>
<span class="s">resource</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="s">http://IP_ADDRESS</span>
<span class="s">monitored_variables</span><span class="pi">:</span>
<span class="s">temperature</span><span class="pi">:</span>
<span class="s">name</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="s">temperature</span>
<span class="s">pins</span><span class="pi">:</span>
<span class="s">A0</span><span class="pi">:</span>
<span class="s">name</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="s">Pin 0 analog</span>
</code></pre>
</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>[variable]</strong> (<em>Required</em>): Name of the variable to monitor.
<ul>
<li><strong>name</strong> (<em>Optional</em>): The name to use for the frontend.</li>
<li><strong>unit_of_measurement</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="/topics/templating/">template</a> to extract a value from the payload.</li>
</ul>
</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>[pin]</strong> (<em>Required</em>): Pin number to use.
<ul>
<li><strong>name</strong> (<em>Required</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="/topics/templating/">template</a> to extract a value from the payload.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p>The variables in the <code class="highlighter-rouge">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 class="highlighter-rouge">temperature</code> and <code class="highlighter-rouge">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="language-json highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="p">{</span><span class="nt">"temperature"</span><span class="p">:</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="mi">23</span><span class="p">,</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="nt">"id"</span><span class="p">:</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="s2">"sensor01"</span><span class="p">,</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="nt">"name"</span><span class="p">:</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="s2">"livingroom"</span><span class="p">,</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="nt">"connected"</span><span class="p">:</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="kc">true</span><span class="p">}</span><span class="w">
</span></code></pre>
</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="language-json highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="p">{</span><span class="w">
</span><span class="nt">"variables"</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="p">:</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="p">{</span><span class="w">

</span></code></pre>
</div>
<p><code class="highlighter-rouge">return_value</code> contains the sensor’s 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>
<div class="language-json highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="p">{</span><span class="nt">"return_value"</span><span class="p">:</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="mi">34</span><span class="p">,</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="nt">"id"</span><span class="p">:</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="s2">"sensor02"</span><span class="p">,</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="nt">"name"</span><span class="p">:</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="s2">"livingroom"</span><span class="p">,</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="nt">"connected"</span><span class="p">:</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="kc">true</span><span class="p">}</span><span class="w">
