[21:36:43]<dornawcox[m]>troym541: let me know when and where you post the new flows. I am excited to try. Have donblair at the farm here this weeknd and we are hacking on FIOT.

[12:53:51]<troym541[m]>Sorry for the delay, I have been super busy developing my IOT Platform while rebuilding my new site. That link is temporary and will work until I launch my new site, at which time I will update the link. Keep in mind that I am using DHT22 sensors and the flow is built for those specific sensor types. If you are planning to use the DHT sensors you need to install the GPIO Library files as outlined in the Node-Red DHT
[12:53:52]<troym541[m]>Node Project page. Other nodes like the MQTT Node may or may not apply to your individual set up. You should get a good idea of how I use JSON to parse out my data and then I use an http request node to send the final message payload to FarmOS.
[12:55:14]<troym541[m]>Let me know how it works, I would be interested in any feed back you might have about the flow.
[13:09:50]<troym541[m]>@dornawcox:matrix.org: You might also be interested in this Youtube video where I explain how I set up the hardware and other topics related to integrated Raspberry Pi with FarmOS and MQTT running in the Cloud. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IoiFUO3MikQ&t=305s
[13:27:06]<troym541[m]>I should also mention that if you don't have Battery Hat/Shield on your PI as referenced in the video, then you should delete the nodes related to getting the battery levels, as they send commands to run Python scripts that you would need to have installed and configured on your PI to get them to work.
