Hi,

How do I set up emonhub.conf so that I know which data comes from which transformer ?

From the EmonHubSmapReporter i can see that:

# databuffer is of format:
# [[timestamp, nodeid, datavalues][timestamp, nodeid, datavalues]]
# [[1399980731, 10, 150, 250 ...]]

It converts the databuffer to json:

data_string = json.dumps(databuffer, separators=(',', ':'))

Which results in: 

# Prepare URL string of the form
# http://domain.tld/emoncms/input/bulk.json?apikey=12345
# &data=[[0,10,82,23],[5,10,82,23],[10,10,82,23]]
# &sentat=15' (requires emoncms >= 8.0)

So, the first field is the timestamp, second field is the ID of the node (current transformer), and the rest of the fields are data values for the node.

I would like to attach some additional information for each node such as: unit of measure, special URL for the data to go and so on. 

So of I am recieving data from node id: 10, it has to go to a specific URL that i set in the config file.

I was thinking about adding another section to the configuration file like this:

#######################################################################
#######################          SENSORS          #####################
#######################################################################
[sensors]
[sensor1]

    nodeID = 10
    sourceName = "Name"
    unit = "kW"
    path = "/5DPB/elt-B/ABC/true_power"
    uuid = "87c395ee-5ee3-5713-8928-c29e32937877"
    timezone = "Europe/Copenhagen"
    readingType = "double"

And retieving the values from there.

But how do I know which current transformer attached to the emonTx has which ID?

Thanks
