Hello,

I would like to ask how to post to emoncms.org? I am using ubuntu mate and I have an text/csv document with data in it.

I am not using any of the sold items, just that text document. Any ideas / tips / points to examples?

Thanks alot!

What would be the best one to start at? Those are not very helpful to start with. Can't get the hang of these, as english isn't my native language.

Thanks

Yes that's the one.

http://emoncms.org/input/post.json?json={power:200}&apikey="xxxxxapi-key-herexxxxxxxx"

will give you an input Power = 200

So you have to make a script that snips the data from your file and puts out the http link.

If you look into some of the files for Arduino, you can see how it's done.
