No, my twine shipped with an earlier version, but as soon as I completed the setup procedure it automatically downloaded the latest version.
The support guys have been hinting that a new release is imminent.
My twine is at Nov 15, 2012 14:37:27, and I don't think there has been a later release.
(For those who don't know how to check your current firmware, let your mouse hover over the name of your twine on the dashboard page. If you have a tablet or sm…
Sounds simple, except: "Obviously you need somewhere to host the PHP script ..."
How does one begin to set this up? Is it easy to do or do I have to pay for a hosting service just for this?
After more reading about the digital magnetic sensor Miguel asked about, I'm not sure it will work with the twine. It's a sensor with active circuits, providing a digital output, and may not provide the correct open/closed interface that twine expe…
Yes, it would work, but it is a bit more than you need for this purpose. The voltage specification refers to the maximum voltage you can apply to it, and since the twine only provides 3.3v it won't be a problem.
But if you look at http://www.radi…
Until the breakout board firmware is capable of measuring analog information, you are stuck with attaching things that are electrically "open" (infinite resistance) or "closed" (short circuit). These include magnetic window/door switches, manual on/…
Since the breakout board has only one set of contacts, you would have to wire the external switches (magnetic or otherwise) in some configuration that ends in two wires. Say you have 3 magnetic switches wired in parallel with each other and connect…
I thought the knowledge base answer in my link above about blinking lights answered that question. If the light is pulsing it is trying to make contact with the network. If it gives three quick flashes it failed to make the connection. Isn't that wh…
The way I understand it, if you take your twine to a location with a different wi-fi network, you have to run it through setup again, and you will need a PC or tablet, etc. to do that. If you're only moving it to somewhere else within the network it…
I understand your remote location situation, but an still confused. If you would like a notification that twine is connected to wi-fi, then wouldn't the dashboard confirm that, assuming that you are seeing the battery updates every minute or so? It…
Ellis, while I can't explain why the app doesn't give the same results as another browser, I can say that I've seen the same thing happen with different browsers. One will show the results and the other will say twine hasn't been heard of.
It wo…
Note that in the example above, the three rules are evaluated individually, not as one complex rule. So it's possible to generate multiple identical actions as a result, which may lead to unexpected results, depending on their nature.
The first time I setup my twine I saw this, but it went away and has been showing the correct names ever since. I saw at least one acknowledgement of a bug regarding the tzoffset name, but apparently it's still a support issue.
I think when you add a condition to a rule, it becomes an AND. When you add two or more new rules for the same conditions they become an OR. So in general if you create three rules, each with two conditions and all with the same resulting action, …
I believe it means when creating a rule you must plug in an external sensor before the condition associated with it will appear as a choice. The temperature and orientation conditions are always available as a choice.
A simple, cheap thermostat (eg., round Honeywell) will close its contacts when the temp drops below the setting. Set it to the lowest operating temp when the heater is running, or just below. Place the thermostat where it will be warmed by the hot …
I have 3 APC UPS units, and they each have a USB connection that can be used to signal loss of power to an attached PC, presumably so the PC can shut down gracefully. I haven't done anything with that feature yet, but it might be possible to hook …
Once they get the code working for the analog portion of the breakout board working you might be able to use an external probe. But why would you need to? Twine will monitor the room temperature, so as long as that's above freezing your hot tub wo…
The Test SMS function was working with TMo two days ago for me, but not since. Someone must have changed something. (SMS Actions have never worked for me.)
Neat. So you're powering the current sensor with the 3.3v from the breakout sensor and using the current sensor to close the circuit between IN & Gnd on the breakout, right? What's the resistor for exactly? (What would happen without it?)
I guess I don't understand the difference between an SMS text from Twine and a twitter text.
Also, can you tell us what AC current sensor you're using?
Everyone ought to experiment with the sensor boards. I connected a simple light sensor like the one in David's example to my breakout board (IN & Gnd, no resistor required) and it worked fine. Is shows "open" when dark, "closed" when illuminat…
I reported elsewhere that I tested a simple photo cell sensor on both the moisture probe and the breakout board. On both of them the photo cell caused the sensor to switch state when light was shining on it. So using that info the job of detecting…
But when I use the Test SMS button I get the text message on my Tmo phone, even though I never get the message defined in an Action. Why would they be different?
Robert - just to prolong this I noticed in my local Ace hardware store, which has a wide selection of fasteners, the smallest wing nuts were #6. Of course a regular 4-40 nut would work too, but they did have metric #3 screws and wing nuts which fit…
