Forwarding a string to another device

Hi,

I’m trying to forward a string from an Arduino nano ESP32 to an ESP32 dev module.
So far I’ve only found integers to be sent from one device to another.
Thank you.

How are you currently sending your integers?

Pete.

Through the automations “Forward Device Data”. I can only click on virtual pins that are integers. And I was wondering if there was a way to do the same with a string.

You’ll probably need to use the API, but I’m not familiar with the Arduino Nano ESP32, so you might need to tweak one of the examples to get it working…

Pete.

Thanks I’ll try it out!

@vincentv automation supports String datastream. Most likely you didn’t enable the String datastream for automations in the template settings of your destination device:
