Re: BSC level for humidity

[Kevin Hawkins <lists@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Daniel,

A BSC Level is ideal for humidity sensors as they have a nice 0-100
fixed range (unlike say temperature sensors that don't map easily).  If
you have higher granularity than single steps between 0 and 100 then you
could use something like.

Level=6724/10000        (67.24%)

A BSC event or info message must have a denominator, which conveys the
resolution of the sensor.   I realise this scales the humidity value
incorrectly but this may be acceptable.  There is also some work being
done on a new schema that handles sensor data more completely than
shoehorning it into BSC. This should be available in a few weeks if that
helps...
