Send Measurements via Webhook

Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is an application-layer protocol for transmitting hypermedia documents. It was designed for communication between web browsers and web servers.

Prerequisite:

Access to user interface To make this setting, you must have access to the user interface. If this is not the case, see here how to do it:Access to the user interface
Access to an http-Server server/Cloud Service. An http-Server server has been set up or there is access to a cloud http-Server.

Datatransfer

Via URL

If placeholders are used in the URL specified in the "URL", the hydrom will replace them with the current variables.

An example would be: {VALUE_TILT_P} --> 15.3 {VALUE_TEMPERATURE_C} --> 25.3

{NAME_DEVICE} If this variable is used, the hydrom replaces this placeholder with the current name of the hydrom. Default: "Hydrom001
{VALUE_TEMPERATURE_C} If this variable is used, the Hydrom replaces this placeholder with the currently measured temperature. The unit of this variable is Celsius
{VALUE_TILT_P} If this variable is used, the Hydrom replaces this placeholder with the currently measured temperature. The unit of this variable is Plato
{VALUE_TILT_SG} If this variable is used, the Hydrom replaces this placeholder with the currently measured tilt. The unit of this variable is specific Gravity
{VALUE_TILT_G} If this variable is used, the Hydrom replaces this placeholder with the currently measured tilt. The unit of this variable is Gravity
{VALUE_RSSI} If this variable is used, the Hydrom replaces this placeholder with the currently measured tilt.
{VALUE_BATTERY_VOLTAGE} If this variable is used, the Hydrom replaces this placeholder with the currently measured Batteryvoltage. The unit of this variable is Volt
{VALUE_BATTERY_PERCENTAGE} If this variable is used, the Hydrom replaces this placeholder with the current battery level. The unit of this variable is Percent.

via JSON

The hydrom sends, if you have activated "http", then the hydrom sends a JSON file to the path specified in the "URL". How the file looks like and what the parameters contain you can read here.

name Each device has the name "Hydrom001" by default. This name can be changed at any time to distinguish several devices from each other. Changing the Hydrom name\
angle This reading is the raw reading of the slope of the hydrom without any processing.\
temperature This value is the measured temperature in degrees Celsius.\
temp_units A "C" for Celsius is sent here.\
battery Battery voltage in V\
gravity If this variable is used, the Hydrom replaces this placeholder with the current battery level. The unit of this variable is Percent\
interval The interval during which the measured values are sent (+ approx. 23s).\
RSSI Wifi transmit power

Sample content of the JSON:

{
"name":"Hydrom001",
"ID":3,
"angle":65.54,
"temperature":26.43,
"temp_units":"C",
"battery":3.9,
"gravity":9.34,
"interval":900,
"RSSI":63.5
}

Step 1: Open the Menue

To access the menu bar you have to click on the three lines in the upper left corner. (See arrow) Then the menu bar will open.

Step 2: Select "Service"

The "Services" page is a resource that allows users to select and configure various interfaces and cloud services for use with their system. On this page, users can choose from three different interfaces - HTTP, MQTT, and TCP - and several cloud services, and then activate and parameterize these options to suit their needs. This page is a useful tool for those who want to connect their system to the cloud or other external services and customize the way in which data is transmitted and received. With the options available on the "Services" page, users can tailor their system to meet their specific requirements and ensure that it is able to communicate effectively with other devices and systems.

Activate http-client and change the settings

On the "Service" page, the http-Server service must be activated.

additional settings

In order not to consume too much power, we would turn Bluetooth off when it is not needed. It was documented here:

Bluetooth Settings

In order for the Hydrom to transmit the data reliably, a DeepSleep time must be set. This is documented on this page:

Adjust Intervall

Save Settings

Saving the data is important because it is the only way to connect to the service after waking up from DeepSleep.

You can check whether the saving was successful by looking at the settings file at http://hydrom001/settings.json/. to check if the save was successful. This file is the permanent memory of the Hydrom.

A second way to check the saving is to reload the page (all modern browsers offer this Feature). If the properties are then reloaded, the hydrom has accepted them, otherwise the old settings are reloaded.

Send Test-message

By activating this button, you can check whether the Hydrom has a connection to the service and to the individual parts of the service. If you now click on "Save", the set services are executed once and the page is reloaded. On the new page you can see whether the servers are accessible and the ports are open.

activate DeepSleep

Activating DeepSleep is mandatory for the hydrom to be able to send data. If DeepSleep is activated, the hydrom wakes up after the set time and sends the data to the set service. Afterwards, the hydrom goes back to sleep and waits for the new service.

Adjust Intervall

To ensure that the device sends measured values to the Service in the set interval as intended, the Hydrom must be put into deep sleep.

There are two ways to put the Hydrom into deep sleep.

Turning the power switch off and on is the easiest way to put the Hydrom into deep sleep.

The alternative way is to put it to sleep via the UI. To do this, open the navigation bar and go to the "DeepSleep" tab.
