Hello, Can you explain to me if it is possible to recover information from the sensor "Mi aqara humidity" which works in mqtt? How should I do it ? what do I need? I see that it is possible to use it on domoticz or other ... it would be nice to add zwave, zigbee all possible gateways ... thank you in advance

Hi,
if you have the Aqara sensor correctly publishing data to MQTT broker, you can use the MqttSubscribe function block in REXYGEN to subscribe to the corresponding topic.See example project 0407-01 which is included in REXYGEN Studio since version 2.50.8.
Just for the record, here are some links to make the sensor work with MQTT broker (no guarantee and not sure if you need it):

hello Jaroslav, that's exactly what I wanted to know! thank you. Is it better to put the mqtt server on the raspberry with rexygen or put a new raspberry in parallel?

Hi,
it is definitely possible to have the MQTT server on the same Raspberry with REXYGEN. It depends on the expected data load. Just have a look at Raspberry performance and CPU loads.
Regards, Tomas
