Following on from [Temperature sensor address search not working, how to debug? New to arduino but not programming](https://community.openenergymonitor.org/t/temperature-sensor-address-search-not-working-how-to-debug-new-to-arduino-but-not-programming/6144) and [Rf12\_crc failing but rf12demo works flawlessly?](https://community.openenergymonitor.org/t/rf12-crc-failing-but-rf12demo-works-flawlessly/7005)

I have an emontx v2.2, a nanodeRF and an emonGLCD

I want to set up posting data to a remonte emoncms hosted on emoncms dot org from the nanodeRF

I don’t think i want a local emoncms running… i don’t have any dedicated hardware for hosting the server so unless it’s absolutely mandatory i don’t really want to have to run a server on a general purpose desktop machine.

Questions: is this possible? Can someone point me in the right direction for getting started?

I’m sorry if this is very vague. All the documentation i have found so far assumes i have different hardware like emonPI and emonBase and so on.

Hi. It took a while to find, but here it is.  
[https://github.com/openenergymonitor/NanodeRF](https://github.com/openenergymonitor/NanodeRF)

With the settings tweaked it should work alright.

.

If you did go for a local server, you don’t need a desktop machine, a raspberry Pi (with RFM69pi module and SD card loaded with emonSD image) would do. Or grab an emonBase and much of the setup is done for you.

.

A side thought; the nanodeRF could be given MQTT functionality, it’d take time to integrate the libraries, not really necessary but could make for an interesting project, if you’re interested in such things:

Thanks! I’m sure i’ll have more questions to come but this should be enough to get something going 🙂
