Emonscms push app

SmartApps & Automations
1

i just got my smarthub and some sensors and so far i like it, i thing it is very easy to setup and use.

before i used to have a raspberry pi with a bunch of rf sensor nodes pushing information to emoncms.org website with a POST statement.

i wonder if there is an application already to post to emoncsms service.?

I have been trying to writ my own smartapp to push data to emoncms.org. Below is the code I have. I get a “blacklisted” error, but I don’t know why. Any help?

The blacklist error is " 12:07:22 AM: error java.lang.SecurityException: Endpoint http://emoncms.org/input/post?json={power:556}&apikey=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx is blacklisted. @ line 68"

Line 68 = log.debug “postApi= ${postApi}” (see below)

I’m very new to all of this but would love to get this working.

    httpPost(postApi) { response ->
    log.info "httpPost responce:${response.status}"
  }

}

Anyone gotten emoncms to work with smartthings?

I finally got it working, but I ended up posting as CSV instead of JSON. I really like having the android app. It makes seeing the data very easy.

Here is my new code:

This is really cool…

i haven read smarthings api code…

but could you comment more the code to see what is it doing? how can i grab the temperature of a smarthings sensor and log it to a emonscms feed…

Reviving the dead here - but I’d really like to figure out how to modify this to pull other data, like thermostat temperature and humidity,

I use Emoncms since over a year and it works perfectly.
However I do not code so I use WebCore to push the data to Emoncms. Really ‘easy’ to set up different jobs for different types. For example every 5 minutes for the Watts, temperature, humidity etc and every hours for the kWh

I’ve made a WebCoRE piston for this, its published here - https://community.webcore.co/t/post-device-statistics-to-emoncms-org-open-energy-monitor-or-emonpi/17158
