Hi, we are using the machine uptime sensor with a photo eye sensor, to calculate the amount of bottles being filled on a production line. At first, it was giving us a real-time reading of close to every few seconds but now are only seeing it give us data every minute but haven’t changed any of the settings.
How do we get it to show us data every few seconds or whatever your highest frequency is?
Thanks,
Nirat
Check the set interval value.
also Sending data every second might be excessive. I recommend setting the interval to 10 seconds—that way, you’ll get a count of how many bottles were manufactured during each 10-second window."
Thanks Bhaskar. The interval is set to 10 seconds and we understand going down to the second is excessive. If we were to set it at, say 2 to 3 seconds, could we get it to work in production?
if you have just one device then yes it will be ok
What if we plan to deploy 32 of these sensors? Would it just require us to get more gateways or do you foresee any issues that could arise when trying to ingest/publish the data at our desired frequency?
I will recommend using with 10sec delay
Our customer’s use case requires it to go down to 2 seconds.
in that i will recommend multiple receivers.
Assuming you’re referring to Gateways? If that’s the case, how many do you think we’ll need for 32?
The receiver radio module should be limited to 3–4 messages per second.
This means if each device transmits data every 2 seconds, a single gateway can support approximately 6–7 devices.
Thank you. How do we get our current test device to go back to reading every 2 seconds?
Everything on the node-red side is set to read at a 2 second frequency, but we only see it publishing every minute.
Adding @danempiric for visibility
change the sample interval.
