Hey all,
Im taking a whack at using the IoT cloud and wanted to setup my latest project which is basically an Arduino Nano 33 IoT with a ELEGOO 8-Channel relay board. I have been chiseling away at the code and am about to hook up the sensors and wanted to see if any of the code masters had any feedback or suggestions on the layout/code.
I am going to be using 2 DHT22 temperature and humidity sensors so that adds a little more fun I am trying to read all 4 measurements from the two sensors and convert the temp to degrees Fahrenheit . I started those up with this at the top:
#define DHTPIN1 21
#define DHTPIN2 20
DHT dht[] = {
{DHTPIN1, DHT22},
{DHTPIN2, DHT22},
Then later in the code this:
//does something for sensors???
for (auto& sensor : dht) {
sensor.begin();
Not sure if it is being initialized correctly...
Long story short.. as I progress.. I want to be able to create at least two thermostat type conditions for temp1 and temp2 (via relay1 and relay2) and also be able to control humidity for "hum1" (relay3).. Hopefully building more on there as I go...
Any suggestions or tips? Im not looking for highly sophisticated control... like PID... just ON/OFF for now... in the future it may be cool to ADD a PID style control for one of the heater relays...
Here is a reference code I used for a dual DHT22 Sensor configuration.

The following variables are automatically generated and updated when changes are made to the Thing
int t_temp2;

Variables which are marked as READ/WRITE in the Cloud Thing will also have functions
which are called when their values are changed from the Dashboard.
These functions are generated with the Thing and added at the end of this sketch.
