CHESTER Clime

This chapter describes the core functionality, hardware description, and example JSON message of the catalog application CHESTER Clime.

caution

Some of the basics are not provided, as they are common for all CHESTER catalog applications. For example, see the chapter Platform Management on how to work with the interactive console.

Application Overview

CHESTER Clime is an environmental sensor that samples, aggregates, and sends measured variables.

Hardware Description

CHESTER Clime can be ordered in one of these three variants:

CHESTER Clime

The catalog application CHESTER Clime measures:

  • Temperature
  • Humidity

The hardware of this application consists of the following ordering codes:

  • CHESTER-M-BCGLS - Standard mainboard
  • CHESTER-S2 - External hygrometer
  • CHESTER-E1-LP - Enclosure with SMA pigtail

See Ordering Codes for more details.

CHESTER Clime IAQ

The catalog application CHESTER Clime IAQ measures:

  • Temperature
  • Humidity
  • Illuminance
  • CO₂ concentration
  • Atmospheric pressure
  • Motion detection with PIR sensor

Also, the application reports push-button events and provides acoustic and optical feedback.

The hardware of this application consists of the following ordering codes:

  • CHESTER-M-BCGLS - Standard mainboard
  • CHESTER-S1-BCMP - Integrated multi-sensor
  • CHESTER-E7-LP - Enclosure with SMA pigtail

See Ordering Codes for more details.

CHESTER Clime 1W

The catalog application CHESTER Clime 1W supports multiple external DS18B20 1-Wire temperature sensors.

The hardware of this application consists of the following ordering codes:

  • CHESTER-M-BCGLS - Standard mainboard
  • CHESTER-E8-LP - Enclosure with 8 cable glands

See Ordering Codes for more details.

Measurement and behavior

  • All sensors are sampled with a configurable period (parameter interval-sample).
  • Samples are then aggregated in the configurable interval. Minimum, maximum, average, and median are computed from buffered samples for each sensor (parameter interval-aggregate).
  • Each aggregated values have its timestamps and are sent in a batch in a report interval period (parameter interval-report).

When equipped with CHESTER-S1. The device also has a push button. When the button is pressed, the blue LED turns on for a second. Also, the beep sound is played from the integrated acoustic buzzer for audible confirmation of the push button press.

Default configuration

This is the default configuration (printed using the app config show command):

app config interval-sample 60
app config interval-aggregate 300
app config interval-report 1800

Specific Commands

info

You can easily explore the whole command tree structure - start with the help command.

caution

To apply a new configuration, you need to call config save, which applies the new configuration parameters and reboots the device.

Command to set sample interval in seconds:

app config interval-sample <1-86400>

Command to set aggregate interval in seconds:

app config interval-aggregate <1-86400>

Command to set report interval in seconds:

app config interval-report <30-86400>

Example JSON Message

In this example JSON you can see data from all three variants

  • CHESTER Clime has its own hygrometer structure.
  • CHESTER Clime IAQ has its own iaq_sensor structure.
  • CHESTER Clime 1W has its own w1_thermometers structure.

In each structure with the current configuration, there are six aggregated values. Each aggregated value has its timestamp and is computed from multiple samples, and min, max, avg, and mdn values are calculated.
