Send IP address to mqtt

[goczen]

Hi
Could you tell me, how I can send the %ip% to mqtt broker, I can send other datas like the temperature and analog input.
thank you

This can only done if you can add some code to the mqtt plugin and compile the firmware yourself. Sending %ip% is not a standard feature. I would like to see this implemented also in the generic http plugin

You can send it at boot or at a given interval using events.

thanks a lot
I put it in the rules section and it works:

On System#Boot do //When the ESP boots, do
Publish /%sysname%/Bedroom/IPAddress,%ip%
timerSet,1,600 //Set Timer 1 for the next event in 10 minutes
On Rules#Timer=1 do //When Timer1 expires, do
Publish /%sysname%/Bedroom/IPAddress,%ip%
timerSet,1,600 //Set Timer 1 for the next event in 10 minutes

Thanks that is useful,

Would be cool to have both %sysname% and %ip% as part of http://www.esp8266.nu/index.php/SysInfo
