Grafana plugin : mqtt switch

[andaniel]

Hello everyone!

I am beginner of this community.

I want a grafana plugin.

It should act as a mqtt switch on the dashboard which when I click it it should change color and tell if its an off or in on condition using MQTT in the backend and in the setup page.

It should ask me details of MQTT server and topic.

How can i do this?

Hope your kind help!

Regards.

Hi Andaniel,

If you want to code it completely you must see this repo (I only know this):

seanlaff/simple-streaming-datasource

If you want something lightweight, i recommend MQTT Telegraf consumer with influxDB and 5 or 10 seconds of refresh interval.

influxdata/influxdb

influxdata/telegraf

MQTT Button plugin

Hi again, coming from https://community.hiveeyes.org/t/using-grafana-for-submitting-downlink-commands/2959/6, I wanted to share with you that @geeks-r-us is conceiving a nice MQTT Panel Plugin for Grafana. It is a panel to enable Grafana to fulfill simple control tasks via MQTT. and currently provides three types of control elements: A text input element, a switch element and a slider element. https://github.com/geeks-r-us/mqtt-panel With kind regards, Andreas.

With kind regards,
