I am trying to post data to my local Emonbase using Node-Red. I can post to emoncms.org but not to my local Emonbase. I am using a Emoncms node with my API key and IP adress (192.168.79.18).
Any suggestions why its working against emoncms.org but not locally?

Re: Node Red post to local emoncms
"server":"http://localhost/emoncms" perhaps ?

Re: Node Red post to local emoncms
does not work
Re: Node Red post to local emoncms
"server":"http://[dotted IP address]/emoncms" perhaps then ?
Re: Node Red post to local emoncms
"server":"http://[dotted IP address]/emoncms" - does not work. I have tried to buy a new Raspberry Pi. Install 8.5 low-write. Same problem.
Robert: I can see the similarities (between this and this) but as far as I understand its to different methods. I am annoyed that I can get it to work).
Re: Node Red post to local emoncms
I use MQTT to pass data back and forth between node-red & emoncms, it's easy to set up and it works great. I stopped using the emoncms node about a year ago

Re: Node Red post to local emoncms
Thank you very much for that answer. It works! I have wrestled with the problem for many days. Mqtt seems to be the answer.
Another questing. What method do you use if you have to edit the logged data (for example a wrong accumulated feed)?
Re: Node Red post to local emoncms
If you go to Extra > visualizations you will find some tools there to edit existing data, but unfortunately the 'Edit daily' currently has a bug and only works on the current day's data - see this post
