I’m just starting with openhab 2 and I have a system that can send me updates of measurements (e.g. Temperatures) over http. I’d like to get those integrated into my openhab system
Is there a way to have an http server that can accept post or get requests, that can parse the parameters and use them to update items?
Sorry if this is a trivial question but I haven’t been able to fund much more information
No, the REST API also allows updates to items. Previous versions of my sensor bindings used direct HTTP calls to push data into openHAB. Unfortunately, all my examples are long gone now as I switched all my systems to MQTT. I’ll check my backups, maybe I can find something there.
MQTT is a fully different protocol. A quick search leads me to this:
I might even have a look at this for a different project I have in mind.
