As I was having trouble with radio transmission I decided to try using the WIFI module. After some problems getting it set up mentioned in another topic I have it working perfectly.
The one thing I immediately noticed is that not all the inputs transmitted by the RFM are posted when using the WIFI module.
Yes, your original NanodeRF only ever expected to see 16bit signed ints, since emonhub we have been able to send 32bit Longs (and other datatypes) but in this instance you are not sending fixed datatypes, you are sending the human readable value as a text string so no “decoding” required.
