I’d like to use some Seneye reef sensors in my system.
Ideally I’d like to connect them directly to my Mycodo Pi, but I can’t seem to get any of the direct access methods to work right now.
I actually have one of the seneye web server things so does the Local Data Exchange look viable? Both devices are on the same local network.
You could create a Mycodo Input as a Listener and have it expose an endpoint that will receive the payload, parse it, and store the data in the Mycodo time series database.
I would recommend incorporating an API key set on the User Config page, so you can manage access to the endpoint you expose, otherwise it could be a security risk.
You can find example Inputs that are Listeners (don’t do anything periodically, but just wait for things to occur) and how to expose a new endpoint in several Widgets. Now that I think about it, you may not be able to create a new endpoint with an Input. I’ll have to think more about this and review the code later to have a better sense of what’s currently possible.
Thanks.
In the meantime I think I’ve figured out my problems with the direct access method may be that I don’t have a slide in it.
I think the direct access method is preferable, so let me try that again with a slide before wasting your time thinking about the local access method.
