You should also try seeing if all the values are available via MQTT using ```auto mosquitto_sub -v -u 'emonpi' -P 'emonpimqtt2016' -t 'emon/vthings1/#' ``` If they are, try rebooting the emonPi (see the [“Newly created inputs not appearing in emonCMS via MQTT”](https://community.openenergymonitor.org/t/newly-created-inputs-not-appearing-in-emoncms-via-mqtt/2515) thread) or maybe restarting just the mqtt service (See the [“MQTT Strangeness”](https://community.openenergymonitor.org/t/mqtt-strangeness/4082/12) thread). ---

I think I have the correct configuration of the v.air monitor because it sends correctly one value. But in the example of MQTT configuration explains: ```auto data/temp:%TEMP% domoticz/in:{key:"%TEMP%", key2: "%HUM%"} ``` and I don´t know if the correct code are: ```auto emon/vthings/temp:%TEMP% emon/vthings/co2:%CO2% emon/vthings/hum:%HUM% ``` or ```auto emon/vthings:{temp":%TEMP%",co2:"%CO2%",hum:"%HUM%"} ``` or other… Because, the last one do not run, with only a sentence (emon/vthings/temp:%TEMP%) works fine and with the three sentences I only see the last one, as if v.air overwrite the data. I will try mosquito. Thanks ---

maybe you can try also the log file, to see what arrives there $ tail /var/log/emonhub/emonhub.log in general this is the correct way of sending multiple values, and the fact that in the device log there is ```auto MQTT Connected] [Mqtt Dest: sending: to topic:emon/vthings1/temp, msg: 22.58] [Mqtt Dest: sending: to topic:emon/vthings1/co2, msg: 564] [Mqtt Dest: sending: to topic:emon/vthings1/hum, msg: 59.30] [MQTT : 1346ms ``` means that they have been parsed and the messages sent what is more weird, is that you are receiving the “hum” value, but not the others ---

If you are publishing to emoncms directly there will be no related info in emonhub.log as it is not part of the route and therefore unaware of that traffic. > [@Vladimir\_Savchenko](#): > > means that they have been parsed and the messages sent > what is more weird, is that you are receiving the “hum” value, but not the others That’s precisely why I suggested checking the published MQTT via the commandline, there is a known issue with the mqtt input to emoncms, If the Pi has not been rebooted, this behaviour is unsurprising, See the first link I posted, the issue is comprehensively documented and as yet unresolved. This issue is not unique to the vThing! ---

yeah, i supposed that German tried it after you mentioned, but maybe he hasn’t yet checked it ---

Finally I solve this issue using HTTP instead of MQTT. With MQTT I think that each line overwrites the previous line, and with the correct configuration of HTTP works fine. Thanks a lot for your comments. It is a pity that I not have been able to configure the device with MQTT 😓 ---

Mine run fine. Have you updated the firmware as there were some bugs in it. ---

I really wish this project were still going. I need multiple WIFI based devices (20+) to log temperature across a large estate so we can match mechanical systems energy usage to environmental data and refine our HVAC scheduling/programming.
