Rename Temperature Sensor Fibaro

TommyTommy Member
in Questions & Help
Hi Guys,

First of all, great product!! 

Second, I want to know if I am able to rename the temperature sensors connected to my Fibaro Universal Sensor, so basically these;



I am monitoring the temperatures of different points in my hot tub and piping, which I will use to control the pump and heating using flows. I can easily do this now, though I would be happy if I can rename the sensors to the actual location of the sensor or something logical, this will make life a lot easier! 

Thanks in advance!

Tommy

    Guess you will need to change that in the app (code) because you can only rename the device afaik
  • TommyTommy Member
    Thanks for your reply! And... How do I achieve that, changing the code for this particular part?

    I can imagine more users have the same issue here? It's a pain to constantly need to refer to a paper/file on the side where I have noted for example " Temperatuur Sensor 1 = "Afvoer Bad"

    Do you know how to use CLI to install Apps manually?

    If not.... your are in for a steep learning curve (click)

    If yes...this might work:
    - download the .zip from the developer (here)
    - extract the zip
    - open the driver file(s) in a tekst editor
    - find and replace the mentioned text
    - save/overwrite the edited files
    - upload the App to your Homey via CLI

    @Tommy   https://github.com/athombv/com.fibaro/blob/master/config/drivers/FGBS-001.json this is the file you looking for.

    Thanks, I will have a try these days! 
  • TommyTommy Member
    So following this procedure, I would have to re-connect the sensors to the homey or am I wrong? I am asking since the sensors are not easy to reach (and definitely not near my homey)....

    No, just modify the code in the app.

    Sure about that?

    No.... I am eternally unsure...and that's how I learn. 

    But seems (...) like a minor alteration to the App. Normally an update does not require a re include...


     Just try and restart the App and Homey. You can always install the official App again.
