Node-RED action not fired after rule on Watson IoT Platform

I'm currently using Watson IoT Platform to collect datas from my raspberrypi.

I created a rule based on a threshold and three actions if the rule is activated:

  • the first one is a Node-RED action invoking a Node-RED node on Bluemix
  • the second one is another Node-RED action invoking a Node-RED node on my raspberry pi
  • the third one is a simple "send mail"

The first two actions are never fired while the email is always correctly sent.

My Node-RED node on BlueMix is at the following url: https://xxx.eu-gb.mybluemix.net and the http endpoint is /command so the URL I configured is https://xxx.eu-gb.mybluemix.net/command.

What is wrong with this configurations?

Thanks,

Diego

Solution

  • The http in node must use POST as the method. Here is a sample flow which when triggered writes to a debug node.
