Pull temp from device and send notification of that temp

#1

1) Give a description of the problem
Informational question
2) What is the expected behavior?
I need to know if I can set WebCore to pull temp from a device at a specific time of day, then report that temp to me via push notification. I’m sure there’s probably an easy way to do it, I just can’t figure it out. Specifically I have a contact sensor in my pool skimmer just for temp readings, and I would like to have it send me a notification on my way home from work telling me what the pool temp is (1st world problems I know).
I have built many pistons already, but nothing that “pulls” data like that, so not sure where to begin. Thanks!

This should do it. Just adjust the time to the time and frequency you want to receive it, and change my 2-Car Door to the name of your temperature sensor.

Well, michicago beat me to the post, but I had already started working on this, so here is my version. The main difference is I use a variable, and log the results, but the core concepts are the same.
(Import code is: ywk5)

temp

When you import this, just point it to your pool sensor when prompted.

Thank you both! I knew this would be fairly easy to do but just wasn’t sure where to start. I’ll give it a try tonight!

What was I thinking? I set it up now and tested - works like a charm! Thanks again!
