Connect a data logger to Domoticz

[usky73]

Hi all

I already have a "data logger" connected to 6 radio thermal sensors and 2 humidity sensors.
BS1000 : http://www.arexx.com/templogger/html/en/products.php

I would like to reuse them in Domoticz.

The data logger can post via http the values. This is what I am doing today to put the values in a Mysql database via a PHP page.
The data logger will send something like that :

Code: Select all

192.168.1.345/templog.php?sensor=1&type=23&value=23&date="23/10/2015"&time="12:04:23"

Is it possible to send this values to the domoticz server ? by using json.htm ?

My dream to add this devices in domoticz, can you help me ?

Thanks

Yes, this is perfectly possible, see our wiki page

I was looking this page and specificaly the Temperature update device topics.
This is not the easiest solution but I can manage to make a cron that will execute a script. I will try.

The issue for a direct connection from my datalogger is that the sensor number is already defined and it will transmitt all data from all censors randomnly (humid & temp). The difference is made by the device type.

I don't see a simple solution without a temp file in an sql database or in a a file.

Finally I did a quite simple process reusing my PHP page addressed by the BS1000 to send data.
Works perfectly !

I have BS-510 ( usb module ). Would be fine have native support in domoticz
If youre interested there are some codes that enable readings from that box under linux http://www.ucw.cz/gitweb/?p=arexx.git;a=summary
