HOW TO READ TEMPERATURE VALUES IN NORDIC THINGY

[Eugene0469]

Hello. I am using the nordic thingy 52 sdk to program my thingy. I have seen that the temperature values are sent to the client based on a timer. I wanted to ask if there is any way one can change this such that these temperature values are only read when requested by the client.

Have you tried looking at the source code?

[Eugene0469]

Yes, I have. I see that the app_timer_create() and app_timer_start() have been used to initiate and start a timer that will allow notification of the temperature values to the client continuously after a set interval. I want to change this in such a way that the only way the temperature values will be sent to the client(in this case, this is my phone), is when the client has requested for the said values. Is there a way to do this?

So look at what happens in the timer handler to read the temperature - and just do that ?

In order to read characteristics, you will need to enable to property READ for the given characteristic. Here is a nice tutorial that explains how characteristics works, including enabling READ possibilities.

I have enabled the read permission. The issue with this is that i had to enable notifications on my phone app to read the values. Is there a way i can read values from my phone without enabling notifications
