- **correction_factor** (*Optional*): A float value to do some basic calculations.
- **decimal_places** (*Optional*): Number of decimal places of the value. Default is 0.
The variables in the `monitored_variables` array must be available in the response of the device. As a starting point you find below a sketch for the Arduino device family. There are two variables (`temperature` and `humidity`) which will act as endpoints.
The variables in the `monitored_variables` array must be available in the response of the device. As a starting point you could use the one of the example sketches (eg. [Ethernet](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/marcoschwartz/aREST/master/examples/Ethernet/Ethernet.ino) for an Arduino with Ethernet shield). In those sketches are two variables (`temperature` and `humidity`) available which will act as endpoints.
