Sonoff-Tasmota + Ubidots

[o o]

Hi everyone

Sorry very new to this so please excuse any ignorance

I have several IoT devices that push data to ubidots.com

Id like to use this data to control a Sonoff basic relay

Is this something i can achieve using Sonoff-Tasmota?

Any pointers on where to start?

Thanks in advance

Almost certainly. Read this page

https://github.com/arendst/Sonoff-Tasmota/wiki/Commands

it explains the command structures

However, the reason most of us are using Tasmota is to move away from cloud based solutions and use local control.

Thanks Phil

So it looks like i can configure the Sonoff using MQTT using the settings found at Ubidots here

This should then subscribe the Sonoff to Ubidots (the broker)?

Any state changes (on/off) at he Sonoff will be communicated up to the broker?

Ubidots, via its logic can then tell the (Ubidots) broker to change the power state at the Sonoff?

Sorry if i'm being dumb?!

Just trying to understand the logic

Thanks

Essentially yes. MQTT will send the cmnd/Power 1 to the device and switch it on and transmit data to the ubidots.

Ok

So the problem i now have is the length of the username field

Sonoff-Tasmota 6.6.0 currently has a username character limit of 32 chars

The username (token) Ubidots requires you to use is 35 chars

I appreciate storage space is at premium in the firmware but...

Am i going to have to compile my own build?

I have ended up daemonising a python script that subscribes to "tele/+/SENSOR" on my mqtt broker.

This then publishes the data to the appropriate device name on Ubidots.

Kind of acting as a proxy for "tele/+/SENSOR" to Ubidots

It will do for now
