Sending sensor data from my uC (electric imp) to HA

Installation Home Assistant OS
1

I use my “electric imp” (its a small microcontroller connected to a cloud) to control two power sockets via a small homepage. I included two current sensors to get the actual current flow. I tried several ways to visualize in a small diagram. I tried plot.ly grovestream and some others. Its ok but I really want the cool smart “History Graph Card” design. So now I want to send the data to my Home Assistant. But I think the electric imp controller only support HTTP requests and no mqtt. Is there a change to do that? I see there exists a RESTful sensor platform to do a HTTP Post/Get request…

Ok this works for me:

In my “agent” code section I implemented a “function requestHandler(request, response)” that response to any HTTP request, for Home Assistants requests, too.

In this function I add this:

	/* Home Assistant polls */
	else if (request.path == "/ha_requestpower1") 
        response.send(200, power1);
	else if (request.path == "/ha_requestpower2") 
        response.send(200, power2);

In Homeassistant I add these two sensors:

# RESTful - Electric Imp
- platform: rest
  resource: https://agent.electricimp.com/EZTw97Kag97c/ha_requestpower1
  name: Socket1
  device_class: power
  unit_of_measurement: W
- platform: rest
  resource: https://agent.electricimp.com/EZTw97Kag97c/ha_requestpower2
  name: Socket2
  device_class: power
  unit_of_measurement: W
