Publishing data by MQTT

After installing Mosquitto on Omega2+ in the blog post Using MQTT on Onion Omega2+ the subscription of messages was shown. Here I will send data to the MQTT broker to subscribe and access them from anywhere in the world.

For data generation I use the script wunderweather.phy again. The script mqtt.sh reads the requested data (temperature & humidity) and publishes these to my MQTT broker. Look for the files at Github.

mqtt.sh:

#!/bin/sh

#MQTT
BROKER="m20.cloudmqtt.com"
BRUSER="rawyjpid"
BRPASSW="ah52k3gjd8JS"
BRPORT=12394
TEMPTOP="OMEGA2/WU/temperature"
HUMITOP="OMEGA2/WU/humidity"

echo "Send data to MQTT Broker"

DATE="$(date +"%d-%m-%Y")"
read TEMP < /home/TEMP 
echo "Temperature = $TEMP *C"
read HUMI < /home/HUMI 
echo "Rel. Humidity = $HUMI %"

mosquitto_pub -h $BROKER -u $BRUSER -P $BRPASSW -p $BRPORT -t $TEMPTOP -m $TEMP
mosquitto_pub -h $BROKER -u $BRUSER -P $BRPASSW -p $BRPORT -t $HUMITOP -m $HUMI

The screenshot of my MQTT client MyMQTT shows messages from two publishers. WU labels the data received from Weather Underground requestet here and ASH2200 is a sensor placed outside of my house. The difference between the measured values is due to different measuring locations.
