Http get request

[ryanjennings]

I would like to generate a http get request to submit a temperature to weather underground.

http://wiki.wunderground.com/index.php/ ... d_Protocol

I searched around a bit but couldn't find an example of sending a get request. Is this possible?

Thanks for the help,
Ryan

I have made some progress so I wanted to post my solution for others.

I am using esp mega so I have the option of 3 controllers in the controllers tab. I added a controller using the generic http protocol. I selected use hostname. The thing to watch for there is this is just the hostname. I had first included the https:// that doesn't work and shows an error in the log trying to connect to 0.0.0.0 I set hostname to weatherstation.wunderground.com

The second issue I ran into was in the publish field. I misunderstood how that worked. In the devices tab and the specific task you must select which controller the data is sent to. Then in the controller publish field I used this. (might show as two lines in a narrow browser window, but this is all on one line)

Code: Select all

/weatherstation/updateweatherstation.php?ID=STATIONID&PASSWORD=STATIONKEY&dateutc=now&tempf=%value%

Those are the most important. Port is set to 80
User pass and subscribe are all blank.
Enabled is of course checked.

Thanks for posting this. There usually isn't much help here or at least I've had no luck...

If i use DHT11 in %value% i get temperature (tempf) and humidity (humidity)
How can I fix it?

Thanks for the help,

you should use http advanced controller in newest build: see here for more info: https://www.letscontrolit.com/wiki/inde ... P_Advanced

Dear All,

i have this problem:

I have instal the EspEasy on a ESP8266. This board is a weather station with connected DHT22 Temperature and Humidity sensor and BMP180 for a Pressure.
I'am trying for a long time to pubblist this three vale to weather underground site, but without success.
Can someone help me?
This is my device page, I want to use only Temperature Humidity and Pressure value and send this to WU.

Thanks in advance....

You can do that using rules and the command "SendToHTTP"

Please study the wiki. Get back here once you have done that.

I have studied this guide but unfortunately I don't understand so much.
The firs think I have to do, is to create a Dummy Device who convert a °C in Fahrenheit, because the wu strung need Fahrenheit.
I create a Single DummyDevice with value called TemperatureF. In the rules I wrote this:

TaskValueSet 4,1,[T6H#Temperature]*9+32

But this doesn't work

[grovkillen]

But you don't have any dummy device on task number 4?

[mr-varga]

Now Yes....

[grovkillen]

And your rule?

[mr-varga]

Is the one I have write before.

[grovkillen]

Have you really studied the wiki?

Especially this section :
https://www.letscontrolit.com/wiki/inde ... rial_Rules

[mr-varga]

I try tom re read all the guide and try to understand...

I have partialy solved, but I still have one problem, on the dummy device I'am not able to assign name to the 3 an 4 value. Why??

There are different types of dummy device. You must chose something with quadruple value.

I have tried also with quad or triple bus the last two is no way to name it... Also if I create a new Dummy no one of the 4 value is nominable...

[mr-varga]

I have solve the issue with the firmware update.

[toffel969]

Now Yes....

Please post your entire rules

[Marko91]

I have solve the issue with the firmware update.

Hello, I've been trying to connect easayesp with WU for a long time ...
Please, could you publish your solution?

[mr-varga]

Dear all, sorry for the delay but I not have received the notification for the new post....
By the way, now all working correctly and this is my complete situation:

meteo.PNG (64.6 KiB) Viewed 18377 times

And this is the two rules I use to converting the value and send all to wu:
Rule 1
on T6H#Temperature do
TaskValueSet 4,1,[T6H#Temperature]*1.8+32
TaskValueSet,4,3,[T6H#Temperature]-(100-[T6H#Humidity])/5
TaskValueSet,4,4,([T6H#Temperature]-(100-[T6H#Humidity])/5)*1.8+32
endon

Rule2
on PR#Pressure do
if [PR#Pressure]>800
if [PR#Pressure]<1100
Publish %sysname%/PR/Pressure,[PR#Pressure]
TaskValueSet 4,2,[PR#Pressure]*0.0295301
SendToHTTP weatherstation.wunderground.com,80,/weatherstation/updateweatherstation.php?ID=XXXXX&PASSWORD=XXXXX&dateutc=now&tempf=[TF#TemperatureF]&humidity=[T6H#Humidity]&baromin=[TF#PressureI]&dewptf=[TF#Dewptf]&action=updateraw
endif
endif
endon

Now I have another problem, but I have to made a new post for this.... See you in next post...

No dummy or conversion required , just use the formula ( %value%*1.8+32 )on value to convert from C to F.
Next just post the value of device as is.
