Calc -> MQTT

Gio

Tried to build some simple calculations: i.e. report whether inside or outside geofence.
Selector type geofence circle radius 0.05 (hope is 50m)
Counter type geofence
Inverse for outside

Added a device to both calculators.

In devices calcs tab I see both calculators and when device is inside then the Inside calculator is highlighted, when is outside then the Outside calculator is highlighted.

Tryed to create tiles in mqtttiles.flespi.io but could not get anything beautifull...
A tile of type toggle subscribed to flespi/state/gw/calcs/483261/devices/+/active
does not work. A text tile shows the payload or N/A...
How to set up a simple Board with tiles that change based on the result of the calculation?
Probably the calculator is not well done...
Please help a little

Gio I'm not sure if you already read this comprehensive guide about type of widgets you may use with MQTTTiles, but there you may find some information on how to tune your board. I think the calculator is OK, within .../active topic your payload is JSON and you just need to access properties there.

Here in the blog there are some samples you may find useful. Also take a look at this topic, it contact quite old, but still usable tiles set based on analytics.

Thanks.
I read the first one, but it is not enough to understand from 0.
The second one is what I need because it explains the relationships between the tile and the calc params.
