IoT Cloud Issue with variables types - Illuminance always zero

[mdengusiak]

How to set up illuminance to display at Dashboard?

I set up my project weather station...see code below
unfortunately, I got an error regarding variables...

so here is my Illuminance which is a bit disappointing we can not see what type it is: string, int or float?

when I try to build it... I have error

Start verifying
/tmp/079528558/comfort_Station_Office_apr18a/comfort_Station_Office_apr18a.ino: In function 'void loop()':
/tmp/079528558/comfort_Station_Office_apr18a/comfort_Station_Office_apr18a.ino:43:56: error: cannot bind non-const lvalue reference of type 'int&' to an rvalue of type 'int'
carrier.Light.readColor(none, none, none, illuminance);

it works when I set up illuminance as Int

but then my values are not display on cloud

strangely it works on local hub

Any help will be appreciated

I spent quite a lots of time and can not solve this and get it working...
anyone manage to get Lux Level via IoT working?

[mdengusiak]

Does anyone manage to get it working? I still can not fix it..

I still have to set

int = illuminance;
carrier.Light.readColor(none, none, none, illuminance);

anyone knows what type is CloudIlluminance ? and why I have to set it it int?
CloudIlluminance illuminance;

it is so frustrating not being able to find such a basic information...

[mdengusiak]

CloudIlluminance illuminance; is float type and not an integer

so code needs to be modified to:

  int illuminanceInt;
  carrier.Light.readColor(none, none, none, illuminanceInt);
  Serial.println(illuminanceInt);
  illuminance = illuminanceInt;

and then other code remain:

carrier.display.println(illuminance, 0);
