Jeg kjører vThermo med en Aquara temp sensor. Dette går fint. Har satt i gang en Fibaro Smart Implant med ds18b20. Den virker, men vThermo får ikke kontakt med den. Kan noen hjelpe meg her?

I have a vThermo with an Aqura temp sensor. Works fine! Have started a Fibaro Smart Implant with ds18b20. vThermo does not “see” it. Whattodo?

The problem is that the Aqara temp sensor and the Fibaro Smart Implant use different capabilities for temperature.

**Aqara temp sensor**

_Note: Because I don’t have an Aqara temp sensor in use, I took the screenshot from a motion sensor. However, I am pretty sure that the Aqara Temp sensor uses the same capabilitie. You can check this under [Developer Tools → Devices](https://tools.developer.homey.app/tools/devices). Check this out please and share what capability the Aqara temp sensor is using._

I guess that the vThermo app only supports the default capability **measure\_temperature**. That’s the reason why the SI is not recognized by the app.

2 things come to mind spontaneously:

1. Create virtual devices, each for one SI temp sensor (don’t know how many DS18B20 do you use), with the standard temperature capability **measure\_temperature**. Then you have to create flows: If the temp changed at the SI, set the temperature to the VD. I hope, that the VDs are recognized by the vThermo app.
2. Ask the vThermo app developer if it is possible to include the capabilities from the SI in the app.
