Quote:Hi guys. Rather than lashing out a fortune for a LPG sensing system, I want to add a couple of MQ6 sensors to my OP installation and connect them through SigKsens via an ESP8266. My plan is to get a notification and and an alarm through Node Red/Watchdog if gas level exceeds a certain level. Here to the newbie question: As I understand it Signal K has a loong list of predefined http://signalk.org/specification/1.0.0/d...ranch.html Do I simply assign the sensor as/ vessels/<RegExp>/sensors/<RegExp>/name for instance /vessels/sensors/LPG/Pentry?
All the data you ever get is coming from sensor of one kind or another - that does not add anything of value to the path, so don't put it there.
See https://signalk.org/specification/1.4.0/...fuelregexp
so
/vessels/<RegExp>/tanks/fuel/<RegExp>/type should be 'lpg'
and then use paths like
/vessels/<RegExp>/tanks/fuel/<RegExp>/pressure
/vessels/<RegExp>/tanks/fuel/<RegExp>/currentLevel
