Arexx BS1000 data setup to stream to Pachube

Create a Pachube account and note your API key

You may want to create a secure sharing key with appropriate permissions instead of using your Master API key.

Create a datafeed and note the feed number

See this tutorial for detailed instructions on how to create feeds.

Create a rule file

Create a plain text file with the following contents:

Vpachube

A1pachube

B128

C0

Eapi.pachube.com/v2/feeds/FEED_NUMBER_HERE.csv?key=API_KEY_HERE

Z$i$q,$v

Replace "FEED NUMBER HERE" and "API KEY HERE" with the appropriate info from your account.

Upload the rule file

Browse to the BS1000 on your network and go to the administrative pages.

Select the Messenger item on the left bar.

The page for uploading the rulefile is shown. Select the rulefile you just created and push "submit".

The data streaming should immediately start.

Datastream identification

The datastream ID's generated by the BS1000 are the sensor ID's followed by the typenumber (1=temperature, 3=RH%, 5=CO2).

Hello,
I tried to configure my BS1000, but it didn't work...

The debug view of pachube doesn't show any incoming request, is there another way to debug the BS1000 (to see an error message, or...)?

Thanks!
Stefan
