Dht22 display error

Cuongur · November 28, 2020, 9:37pm

Hi everyone, my project is to monitor and control the temperature and humidity using esp8266, but here the temperature was correct but in contrast the humidity was wrong, it was only 99.9. Can anyone help me know the cause?

Not without seeing your code.

@Cuongur please edit your post, using the pencil icon at the bottom, and add triple backticks at the beginning and end of your code so that it displays correctly.
Triple backticks look like this:

Cuongur · November 29, 2020, 12:39pm

I corrected, is that correct?

PeteKnight · November 29, 2020, 12:44pm

Yes, that’s now correct.

You should start by reading this and modifying your code, as you will flood the server with virtual write commands with this current structure.

Cuongur · November 30, 2020, 6:04am

I fixed the code again, if that’s the case then please see for me, how can I call the autorun () function running in void loop ().

PeteKnight · November 30, 2020, 9:47am

If it was my project I’d structure the code like this…

I’d have one function that takes the temperature and humidity readings, and I’d run this function every 5 seconds (the DHT sensors don’t like being accessed more frequently than this) with a Blynk timer. Lets say this function is called take_readings

I would then have four functions that do the following tasks:

Write the temperature and humidity readings that have already been taken to the LCD
Write the temperature and humidity readings that have already been taken to Blynk
Write the temperature and humidity readings that have already been taken to the serial monitor
Check the readings against the set points and activate the relays as required

Lets say that these are called update_LCD, update_Blynk, update_serial_monitor and evaluate_readings`

These three functions would be triggered by the take_readings function, after the temperature and humidity readings have been taken and the results checked to ensure that they are valid (isnan).
the pseudo code would look like this…

void take_readings()
{
  hum = dht.readHumidity();
  temp = dht.readTemperature(); 
  if (isnan(temp) || isnan(hum))
  {
    update_LCD();
    update_Blynk();
    update_serial_monitor();
    evaluate_readings
  }
}

At the moment, your code is only taking a temperature and humidity reading once, as the device boots-up, because the dht.read commands are in the void setup - which only executes once.

Also, you are only writing the humidity reading to Blynk…

Pete.

PeteKnight · November 30, 2020, 1:07pm

You’ve changed this code so that it will always update the LCD, Blynk etc even if the if (isnan (temp) || isnan (hum)) test evaluates to false. That’s not a good idea.

No, this code must NOT be added to the sketch.

You’ve also chosen to ignore my advice about…

It would also make your code much more readable, and easier to debug in future if you use indents and line breaks sensibly…

void update_Blynk ()
{
  Blynk.virtualWrite(V5, hum);
  Blynk.virtualWrite(V6, temp);
}

void update_serial_monitor ()
{
  Serial.print("Nhiet do: ");
  Serial.println(temp);               
  Serial.print("Do am: ");
  Serial.println(hum);
}

void eval_readings ()
{ 
  if(temp<settemp)
  { 
    digitalWrite(RELAYlamp, HIGH); 
  }
  else
  {
    digitalWrite(RELAYlamp, LOW);  
  }
    
  if(hum<sethum)
  {
    digitalWrite(RELAYpump, HIGH); 
  }
  else
  {
    digitalWrite(RELAYpump, LOW); 
  }
}

I corrected the 5 seconds as your advice.

if (isnan (temp) || isnan (hum))

I intend for the code to do nothing if the result is NaN. Can you help me to make this line of code more complete?

PeteKnight · November 30, 2020, 4:42pm

Apologies, I wrote that pseudo code on my phone and missed-out the ! symbols to NOT the logic.

If you use the code the way you have it then you’d need to put a ‘return’ in the curly brackets to ensure that the values aren’t uploaded to Blynk etc.

Pete.

Cuongur · November 30, 2020, 7:01pm

Thank you very much for this help!

Cuongur · December 1, 2020, 2:02pm

Please , I want to sync the signal from the device to Blynk, what should I do? eg Relay has a “HIGH” output, how can I receive that information on Blynk?Is there a line code that can do it for me?Relay is connecting pin D7

PeteKnight · December 1, 2020, 2:17pm

Yes, you can do a Blynk.virtualWrite(vPin,value) command, but without a few more clues about which widget it is that you’re trying to update it’s difficult to be more specific.

Pete.

Cuongur · December 1, 2020, 2:20pm

Do you need the Blynk.run () command just below that line?

PeteKnight · December 1, 2020, 2:34pm

No, not normally.
You’d normally on,y need Blynk.run in the void loop, and as you’ve already learned, you must not put Blynk.virtualWrite commands in the void loop.

Pete.

Cuongur · December 1, 2020, 2:37pm

How to use push button on Blynk to control relay on / off can bypass this command not run?

 void eval_readings ()
      { 
      if(temp<settemp)
     { 
     digitalWrite(RELAYlamp, HIGH);
     
     }
       else
      {
        digitalWrite(RELAYlamp, LOW);
         
      }
      if(hum<sethum)
    {
     digitalWrite(RELAYpump, HIGH);
    
     }
       else
         {
           digitalWrite(RELAYpump, LOW);
          
         }
        }

and when the push button does not switch dynamically ie it is at LOW voltage, the loop will run the above code to automate

PeteKnight · December 1, 2020, 2:43pm

You need to be more specific about exactly what it is that you are trying to achieve. Focus on describing g functionality, not on code.

Is this related to your previous Blynk.virtualWrite question, or a random unconnected question?

Pete.
