The `dweet` sensor platform allows you to get details from your devices which are publishing their values to [Dweet.io](https://dweet.io/).
To use Dweet.io in your installation, add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file:
```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
sensor:
- platform: dweet
device: THING_NAME
value_template: '{% raw %}{{ value_json.VARIABLE }}{% endraw %}'
```
Configuration variables:
- **device** (*Required*): Identification of the device (also known as `thing`).
- **value_template** (*Required*): The variable to extract a value from the content.
- **name** (*Optional*): Let you overwrite the name of the device in the frontend.
- **unit_of_measurement** (*Optional*): Defines the unit of measurement of the sensor, if any.
### {% linkable_title Full configuration sample %}
A full configuration entry could look like the sample below.
```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
sensor:
- platform: dweet
name: Temperature
device: THING_NAME
value_template: '{% raw %}{{ value_json.VARIABLE }}{% endraw %}'
unit_of_measurement: "°C"
```
### {% linkable_title Interacting with Dweet.io %}
You can easily send dweets from the command-line to test your sensor with `curl`.
```bash
$ curl -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{"temperature": 40, "humidity": 65}' https://dweet.io/dweet/for/ha-sensor
```
will give you a response like the one below:
```json
{"this":"succeeded","by":"dweeting","the":"dweet","with":{"thing":"ha-sensor","created":"2015-12-10T09:43:31.133Z","content":{"temperature":40,"humidity":65}}}
```
The [dweepy](https://github.com/paddycarey/dweepy) module gives you another option to work with [Dweet.io](https://dweet.io/).
Send a dweet.
```bash
$ python3
>>> import dweepy
>>> dweepy.dweet_for('ha-sensor', {'temperature': '23', 'humiditiy':'81'})
{'thing': 'ha-sensor', 'created': '2015-12-10T09:46:08.559Z', 'content': {'humiditiy': 81, 'temperature': 23}}
```
Receive the latest dweet.
```bash
>>> dweepy.get_latest_dweet_for('ha-sensor')
[{'thing': 'ha-sensor'', 'created': '2015-12-10T09:43:31.133Z', 'content': {'humidity': 65, 'temperature': 40}}]
```
