Read temeperature from external device and put value to virtual device

Other Devices & Integrations Climate Control & Temperature Sensors

Hi,

I have a couple of rasberry pi with temperature sensors added to them.
I want to read the temperature from them from VERA and display the temperature value to a device (some kind of virtual temp device?)
How can i do this?
I can publish the values on the raspberrys in any way (XML, JSON, Http request etc)
Or i can run http commands from the raspberrys on the VERA with the values.

But i do not know how to setup the vera correct for this, can some one help me?

Thanks in advance!

Information from different parts of the forum

[quote=“capjay, post:4, topic:171662”]- create a virtual switch. Set it to off.

  • create a scene with no triggers, no schedules. Under devices, just set the virtual switch to ON
  • trigger the scene using HTTP request
  • you probably need to create another scene for turning the switch off (and call it over http as needed)[/quote]
