BSC level for humidity   Message List

Re: [xAP_developer] BSC level for humidity

Hi Daniel,

A BSC Level is ideal for humidity sensors as they have a nice 0-100
fixed range (unlike say temperature sensors that don't map easily). If
you have higher granularity than single steps between 0 and 100 then you
could use something like.

Level=6724/10000 (67.24%)

A BSC event or info message must have a denominator, which conveys the
resolution of the sensor. I realise this scales the humidity value
incorrectly but this may be acceptable. There is also some work being
done on a new schema that handles sensor data more completely than
shoehorning it into BSC. This should be available in a few weeks if that
helps...

... you ... Ufffs... just for simplicity, could I send "text=67.24%" instead? I feel to be asking always the same questions (BSC text/level related). Sorry for...

Yes you can use a BSC Text type for almost anything - the disadvantage is that it doesn't convey any resolution or range information nor provide a clear way...

Still better, I've decided to create a humidity endpoint type. Doing this, I'll avoid displaying decimals for this kind of measurement. +-1% is a good...
