to switch networks, take out the battery, put it back in when it's on its back and do the normal initiation at twinesetup.com
-
try taking out the batteries and restarting them on their backs, like a brand new one.

Daniel,The breakout board currently (eternally?) only supports 'binary' conditions as output. So you wouldn't be able to use the breakout board to post the temperature, but a circuit that triggers at a threshold temp would be possible (left as exer…

There is no external antenna jack, so realistically, no. Unless you're really clever with a soldering iron, that is.I keep bugging them on Facebook -- they keep posting about their Range bluetooth thermometers -- and they get all apologetic for not…

Well, now that IFTTT has a Nest channel, I want to use my Twine as a secondary thermostat, i.e. IF the basement Twine is ten degrees cooler than the Nest and the Nest is over 72F, Then run the fan for 15 minutes

This is on my round tuit list: A widget-based app that can show a couple of states (position, temp, wetness?) in a 1x1 box (expandable to come later). Need to log into the server to get the list of your twines, pick a twine, pick the statuses to di…

I sent a note to support, and got a response from Christina:"Twine.cc has been patched and the SSL certs were reissued after Heartbleed." So now is the time to change passwords.

Rule #1 with Heartbleed: Don't panic.Lastpass' checker says they can't tell whether it is/was vulnerable, since it's using the Tornado serverhttps://lastpass.com/heartbleed/?h=twine.cc I don't see any discussion of Heartbleed with the Tornado server…

Rick, take another look at the Google Sheets scripting I did at the top of this thread, that might be a better method -- log it to a spreadsheet.You may also want to consider a separate email account for this, and perhaps IFTTT to look to see what t…

Jesse,If I had it "ring" every time my pump ran, it would swiftly be ignored, as right now it's running about 7 minutes per cycle, but can get as little as 200 seconds. I'd suggest adding the long-run alert (see the March 2013 post above), as it can…

Sounds like a job for the cloud shield: attach a microphone to an analog input, and over a certain value covert to a digital output. Of course, figuring out the difference between a dog bark, a truck going by, a phone ringing etc. is left for an exe…

You should be able to alligator-clip a food-safe probe to each of the two copper pads at the bottom of the moisture sensor, and get good results -- it's just a matter of electrical resistance, and a couple feet of wire shouldn't be significant. Don…
-
I just added another IFTTT recipe similar to the other one: A rule detecting 300 seconds of vibration sends a Gmail message containing "#frozenpipe" -- if the sump pump has been running for five minutes, the pipe is probably blocked. I did have thi…
-
So for now, the capacitive buttons basically are more useful for communicating to the Arduino, along with any other I/O you're using, but eventually the shield is merely saying "ON" or "OFF" to the Twine. I'm guessing I can currently look at length …

I'd be skeptical about the value of using a 9V battery: there's no more mass to that than the two AAAs, so even if the step-down circuitry were 100% efficient, you shouldn't expect more battery life. I like the D-cell idea better. Currently, I'm us…

This is a known issue. If the receiver of your message can interpret a JSON-formatted string, you might be better off.See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Json#Data_types.2C_syntax_and_exampleExample: http://x.appspot.com/?data=("datatype":"move","v":"s…

You must have an exceptionally smooth and quiet washer. I'm using the Twine bungeed to the exit pipe of my sump pump, and it registers regularly around 500mili-G every time it runs. My logging program misses some starts and finishes, but I think t…
-
Note: I have seen triggers of both types not make it into the spreadsheet, leading me to believe that the HTTP request isn't getting sent or received occasionally. Is there no retry? Is there any log file on the TWINE of HTTP results? Is one type …
-
Hash - I'm using a micro-usb power supply, figuring the batteries are only for backup.Then again, without power, my sump pump isn't running either.Next step is to set up an IFTTT trigger or Google Drive app trigger to check the Google Drive Spreadsh…

Nice to see the new Wi-Fi strength too (did you just add that in the last few minutes?) One problem with the 1.2 website: The slider for vibration sensitivity is not touch-friendly. I can't operate it on either my Android Jellybean stock browser, o…
-
OK, got a new pump (it's much quieter, probably have to adjust the vibration sensistivity).IFTTT can only dial one phone number, but thankfully Google Voice can call multiple phones -- that solves that conundrum. I think if I set the trigger/untrigg…
-
Aaarghhh!! I should have been more aggressive in my programming.The sump pump failed at 23:44 -- looks like it cut out mid cycle. I'd logged about 340 cycles in the 48 hours I'd had it connected. At 4:54AM the moisture sensor trigger started holle…

Very cool. I think we'll need a FAQ for vibration: How big of a mili-G is typical for motorized thingies (washing machines, sump pumps), advice on shaking/bumping kinds of actions, etc.
-
I'm assuming you've checked your spam/junk mail folder? The shortness of the messages usually sent, and the non-personal nature of the sender tends to cause it to get dumped there, both by gmail and hotmail/outlook.
-
No sweat - I can probably use a URL shortener. My use for this will be once the Vibration rules are available - the goal is to monitor how often the sump pump goes off and on. I should be able to add more complex alerts to that service script: has…

Got it -- see this URL: http://mashe.hawksey.info/2011/10/google-spreadsheets-as-a-database-insert-with-apps-script-form-postget-submit-method/ 1) Create a Google Docs spreadsheet with the script on that page, and first-row values of "Timestamp" an…
