Trigger an event using Node-Red

[dynamicdave]

Hi to all,
I've been playing around with "rules" to trigger an event within ESP8266.

Although I can get the rule to trigger by sending the following URL, I can't work out what I should do in Node-Red to achieve the same result.

http://192.168.1.31/control?cmd=event,triggerme

I've pulled out nearly all my hair trying various combinations in Node-Red.
I would appreciate it if anyone can share with me what I should put in the MQTT send node.

Kind regards from David.

Hi,
have u considered MQTT ?
If u have NR running, u can easily setup a mosquitto broker in the same machine, then use MQTT pubs in NR and Mqtt import in Espeasy.....

I think dynamicdave has MQTT as he's asking it how to configure an output MQTT node

here it is th answer:

topic = /<ESPEasy module name>/cmd
payload = "event,<event name>"

Thanks for your responses.

I do already have MQTT running on a Raspberry Pi with Node-Red on another RPi.

I'll try out your answer this evening.

Thanks for all your help/advice.

David.

Thanks for your help.
Your answer works like a "dream" - thanks.

I must have tried loads of combinations in the MQTT syntax but not the one you suggested.

Cheers from DynamicDave
