I understood from your writings that you thought one couldnt combine measurements in one graph in Thingspeak. However that is very well possible and even dead simple,

You are right. I have now corrected this one.
Thank you for pointing it out!

- Fri Dec 16, 2016 11:10 am #59580 I am still extremely impressed by your entire write up. Have been experimenting with it a lot and learning a lot.

And I am also making dumb mistakes:
Because my inexperience with OpenHAB I first implemented the HTTP control version.
Then I installed OpenHAB on a Raspberry (needed some hours to iron out some glitches)
looked great, but was surprised that when I changed anything on my screen, be it the SetPoint or the button states, they would be changed back....
Stupid me, fortunately it didn’t take me long to realise that the http refresh in the A3-HTTP control program would just push its values back on the network and that therefore it is a good reason that you have them as two separate programs Too bad though, would have liked the two options together

I have an MQTT server on my raspberry as well but have not been able to get that to work yet with OpenHAB. thats just a matter of time. No doubt a matter of defining the right alias or something.

Again thanks for your work, which for me was a gigantic leap forward in learning

I am always happy to hear back my writing is helpful.
As you made OpenHAB working on RPi, for sure you will iron out issues with MQTT as well

- Fri Jun 09, 2017 4:28 am #66933 It has been a while since I made your project, though it was never my intention to actually attach a humidifier. It was more an excercise of getting acquainted with how to do it.
It was also my first practical experience with OpenHAB and I must compliment you on making it simple and understandable.
Ever since I have been using openhab a lot, but even recently I found myself come back to your project just because it explains in a simple manner how to work with Setpoints.
If I may make one remark, your explanation of how to install openhab is pretty good, but rightnow I would advise anybody wanting to start with it to just download the OpenHabian distro that has everything you'd want and is basically a fool proof 'install' (not really an install as it is a disk image).

Anyway, a well hearted thanks for putting me on the road to using openhab
