External Temperature Sensor

Overview

If your camera does not support direct temperature measurements, indi-allsky supports using an external temperature sensor in place of the camera sensor.

You may specify an external script to query an external temperature sensor. indi-allsky will execute the script along with an environment variable containing a filename to write the resulting json data. The name of the environment is TEMP_JSON.

Example Data

The file generated by the script must contain a variable named "temp" with a floating point value.

{
  "temp": -5.111
}
