I totally agree, Have a read of the EmonHub Development thread. Trystan is looking into making the mqtt inputs in emoncms work as per the http bulk upload and changing emoncms so that both indexed (csv) and named (key:value) inputs can at last be used interchangeably rather than having to use one or the other exclusively (per input), emonhub will hopefully be able to post complete payloads via mqtt and in batches too if buffering is needed (eg mqtt across machines or networks).
