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.

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

I forgot to add the link in the previous answer (here it is).

However, in order to enable the read property for a characteristic, you have to modify the actual code. Look at step 2.F in the mentioned tutorial.

You can confirm that you have done it correctly by donwloading nRF Connect, and connecting to the Thingy. Then you should see the READ property as shown in the image below. You can read the characteristic value by pushing the arrow beside the three arrows.

Best regards,
