- Sun Feb 12, 2017 12:01 am #62431 I am using wifimanager from tzapu on github, the example is FSparameters. It lets you change parameters in AP mode before running esp as a client.

I also have an HDC1080 temp/humid sensor hooked up and printing out great data. I have an LED triggered at Humid >= 50 or temp >= 30; (Celsius) It worked great.

Then I coded a trigger point for Humid >= mqtt_port; which took some fiddling with sizes like [3] and it finally worked! so then I tried it for temperature and it did not work.
When I brought that function back to humidity, now all it does is trigger 48 no matter what I set it to. If I set the char size small [2] then it triggers at 46. Where are these numbers coming from?

AP user/pass: WatchDog/esptest


How do I use the sizes after char? see in this code below please. Thank you for looking:
