I’m trying to collect data from a sensor that is periodically transmitted via a webhook. I have created an automation to link the webhook to, but I am unsure of the best way to store the data. It feels like I should be using a “Webhook Sensor” rather than an automation, but there isn’t one, as far as I am aware.
My current approach is to use input numbers ( yet to get it working ), but is there a better way to achieve what I am after? Can I use a template sensor somehow?
I’d like to chime in on this one - so far this is also my way of doing it (Sonnenbatterie with APIv2 / Webhook).
As good as it works so far, there might be a better way
Thanks!
Thanks for the link, great to look over and check it out.
It does seem to work - but I also have to admit that a sensor rather an input_number makes much more sense.
I may have a look at templating a sensor to do it. I’m pretty new to this, but will the rest platform work to receive webhook data? I suspect not.
