Sorry we missed this, folks. We're not regularly on the forums. We'd love to do this, of course. I had discussed this with IFTTT a while ago, and unfortunately direct integration isn't possible now — long story short, they use a pull method, which m…

Everyone, apologies for the downtime and for not communicating it better. There was a problem affecting some users this weekend, much like previous outages, where first, connections from Twines were being dropped by the server, and eventually, the t…

Not to interrupt the fun of figuring it out, but here's what it means. You can be reasonably sure that the below won't change. (Someday we'll turn this into proper documentation...) All internal sensors, and some other Twine info, will be the Twine …
-
Those are compelling uses. We'll look into it for a future update.
-
Sorry I didn't see this sooner. The max URL length is very long now - it'll handle more than some browsers can. You're right, the POST data limit is there, and I'll be addressing that soon. The POST/GET choice bug has been fixed.
-
Ah, yes - I fixed this last week. Good to hear it's working for you.
-
That definitely sounds like a bug. I'll take a look at this as I address some other issues in the HTTP POST action. What browser/version are you using?Thanks,John

And we've got a photocell how-to up now: http://supermechanical.tumblr.com/post/44880074533/how-to-make-twine-see-the-light-with-a-photoresistor

Graham, we mentioned it in the 1.3 update announcement (which should've been posted here too):http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/supermechanical/twine-listen-to-your-world-talk-to-the-internet/posts/439812http://supermechanical.tumblr.com/post/4653…

Sorry for the ambiguity. Omar's correct. To trigger fast mode or saving rules, turn Twine from any orientation to the orientation where the instructions are facing up. It only needs to be bottom-side up for a moment. Here's a video for you: http://s…
-
Does this only happen in fast mode? Try it once sensor updates slow down. Also, your trigger and untrigger times should be 0. We had set the default to 1 second, but it's now 0 - the Arduino isn't prone to creating false positives like regular senso…

Doug, thanks for letting us know - we're on the case. We don't regularly check here - the quickest way to let us know of a bug is through http://help.supermechanical.com/dashboard/discussion or help@supermechanical.com

Jeremie, we obviously don't recommend hacking the board directly. An external temperature sensor is in the works.
-
Robert, did you ever get this working? If not, let's debug it together and make a how-to out of it.
-
Yes, exactly. Clever idea to distinguish using timing.
-
It's a wonderfully complicated sensor. (Or as complicated as you want it to be.) Twine is asleep most of the time to conserve power and listens for new rules and updates every 2 hours, so it's not a very good way to get data from the Internet. There…
-
There's just the one signal. The headers are for stability, and to pass through pads to solder to. But you'll be able to do something similar once we update it for analog support. Your Arduino logic would say if pins 5, 3, 2, and 1 are high, then t…
-
Bill's correct - if you have an issue come see us at the help site, but we do try to keep up with what's going on here. We're chomping at the bit to work on feature requests after we clamp down on the bigger bugs.
-
Because different soils will have different levels of conductivity, it's hard to definitively say what will register as "wet". Some of the ideas to adjust this through experimentation are worth trying. Don't worry about the prongs corroding - that'…
-
David's problem seems to be that he has a network extended across two routers. Twine can get confused when two routers share a network name. We're investigating this one, but if possible, I'd advice creating a guest network on one of the routers (or…

You're trying to change your password on the community site? It doesn't actually use one. Instead, it checks that you're signed into your Twine account at twine.supermechanical.com
-
Oyvind, that was part of the intention! But to keep things simple and not design multiple packages, we designed one box that would work for all. Next time we'll make it repurposable for something else so you won't have to throw it away.
-
Rules are retained while swapping batteries. You can see the battery voltage at the bottom of the Twine's dashboard. Right now, you'll get an email when it drops below 2.4V, which should give you a few days notice. We're still working on an accurat…
-
No, that's just fine. It will not try to charge the batteries from the external power.
-
You can also click on the ºF in your Twine's dashboard display of the temperature.
-
To save power, Twine only calls home to see if you have new rules for it every 120 minutes. If you are near your Twine, you can immediately load rules by flipping it on its back.
-
Please note that you should NOT connect more than 3.3V to the breakout board directly. Doorbells are typically 24V. This will destroy your Twine. As suggested in our how-to, you can use a relay to keep the doorbell electrically separate from the Twi…
-
We're thinking about it a lot. Stay tuned...
-
Several of you have come up with very clever workarounds to fill in the current holes. (If you actually do a piezo sensor+drinking bird, video please!) I can't respond to every thread (you'd rather have me working on the features, right?), but we li…
-
We can't stop in here very often, but we like reading the feedback. 1) We can provide an upfront reminder that this requires a Wi-Fi device to set up. I'm working on explicit requirements at the beginning of setup along with better IE and phone sup…
