Convert Integer to Decimal value

Votes:

0

Hi Everyone,

I want to setup a SNMP custom Sensor to read voltage of my generator battery, but it shows me the integer value, and I want to monitor as decimal value.

For example:

Battery Voltage expected: 12.1 V SNMP Query shows: INTEGER: 121

How can I convert from 121 to 12.1?

Thank you.

You can access the Channel settings and scroll down to the Decimal places, there you can specify the decimals. More information here

Or in the SNMP Custom Sensor Settings tab, (Not the advanced sensor) go to the OID settings and set the Division value by 10 (or the amount of digits that need to be removed from the result)
