individual examples
In this example there are 3 topics, topic/id
, topic/temp1
, and topic/outTemp
.
-
On
topic/id
, a single value is published in the message. It is desired to ignore this data. This is easily accomplished by not configuring this topic. -
On
topic/temp1
, a temperature is published in the message. This tempurature is measured in Celsius, but needs to stored as Farenheit. This value should be stored in the WeeWX fieldextraTemp1
. -
On
topic/outTemp
, a temperature is published in the message. This temperature is measured in Fahrenheit, the unit of measurement it should be saved as. This value should be stored in the WeeWX fieldoutTemp
.
The configuration below accomplishes this. This example leverages MQTTSubscribe's default values. To see a more complete template see, https://github.com/bellrichm/WeeWX-MQTTSubscribe/blob/master/mqttsubscribe.example.conf.
