MQTT and Thingspeak at the same time

[petrho]

I would like to have both MQTT and Thingspeak support at the same time. Is it possible to make it via the rule engine?

Like the idea

i think it is possible temporarily with two esp8266 configured separately (first with MQTT, second with Thingspeak) and enabled synchronization between them
or use SendToHTTP in rules eg.
SendToHTTP 184.106.153.149,80,/update.html?key=YOURKEY&field1=[your#value]

I don't see why you can not use Rules to send MQTT and the Thingspeak template. I used Domoticz HTTP template and MQTT via rules. I found it was not that reliable in an older version, R104 or R107 I think. The rules would sometimes send the first of the BME280 values and the other 2 would be "null". It worked perfect for a while then it stopped, no idea why. The new versions may work better, there is a newer version of PUBSUB.

My fix was to just switch to openHab MQTT and stopped using rules for sending MQTT. I don't use Thinkgspeak so I can't help there.

SendToHTTP 184.106.153.149,80,/update.html?key=YOURKEY&field1=[your#value]

I cant get this to work
SendToHTTP 184.106.153.149,80,/update.html?key=mykey&field1=[garaget#Humidity]
Nothing gets updated on Thingspeak, any suggestion?
i got this in the log
128939493 : EVENT: garaget#Humidity=68.00

Code: Select all

On garaget#Humidity do

endon

Solved ?

[sonnyboy]

Solved ?

I cant get this to work. My friend petrho will test this this weekend.
Got no error in the log, but thingspeak doesent update.

[petrho]

works fine here...

[petrho]

But why cant I send multiple commands?

On System#Uptime do
SendToHTTP 184.106.153.149,80,/update.html?key=xxx&field1=[Temp_Hum#Temperature]
SendToHTTP 184.106.153.149,80,/update.html?key=xxx&field2=[Temp_Hum#Humidity]
SendToHTTP 184.106.153.149,80,/update.html?key=xxx&field3=[System#Uptime]
endon

only sent the first line...

only sent the first line...

try to add empty line after "endon" and space before SendToHTTP

Code: Select all

On Clock#Time do
 SendToHTTP 184.106.153.149,80,/update.html?key=xxx&field1=[Temp_Hum#Temperature]
 SendToHTTP 184.106.153.149,80,/update.html?key=xxx&field2=[Temp_Hum#Humidity]
 SendToHTTP 184.106.153.149,80,/update.html?key=xxx&field3=[System#Uptime]
endon

Unfortunately same problem...

this should be ok (Currently, a single channel can only be updated once every 15 seconds.)

Code: Select all

On Clock#Time do
 SendToHTTP 184.106.153.149,80,/update.html?key=xxx&field1=[Temp_Hum#Temperature]&field2=[Temp_Hum#Humidity]&field3=[System#Uptime]
endon

aha - you are right. Is it any delay command possible in the rule engine?

Yes

Code: Select all

Delay <milliseconds>

eg.

Code: Select all

On Clock#Time do
 SendToHTTP 184.106.153.149,80,/update.html?key=xxx&field1=[Temp_Hum#Temperature]&field2=[Temp_Hum#Humidity]&field3=[System#Uptime]
 Delay 15000
 SendToHTTP 184.106.153.149,80,/update.html?key=xxx&field1=[Temp_Hum#Temperature]&field2=[Temp_Hum#Humidity]&field3=[System#Uptime]
endon

There are all commands:
