Owntracks GPS to ubidots flow

[d...@dehcomputers.co.uk]

Has anyone managed to get ubidots to recognise GPS data from Owntracks sent to it through node-red?

I can't seem to get the correct formatting even after trying to digest the api docs

Perhaps you can post your flow so it's easier to see what you have tried?

Hi Mark

I've tried a few ways but here is an example before any attempt to change the format

Ah! Unfortunately the company behind the thingbox hasn't released most of their nodes separately.

They do have a support contact on their website so you could try that.

[Dom Holden]

Great thanks I'll do that now

I uploaded our Ubidots node on Github/npm yesterday.

BUT, I also asked Ubidots do do the node themselves (always better, you know) since we get many feedbacsk about the use of the Thingbox and Ubidots together.

Good news from them:

"I will include the NodeRED node into our dev roadmap, with a stronger priority new that we know your community's needs. We expect to have a beta mid of July. It would be great to have this featured in you community, thanks a lot for the heads up, I will keep you updated."

Ubidots tells me they have released their node:

https://github.com/ubidots/ubidots-nodered

I didn't test it yet.
