Send location updates of the ISS to a topic in MQTT
Go to Workflow
Harshil Agrawal
Description
This workflow allows you to send position updates of the ISS every minute to a topic in MQTT using the MQTT node.
Cron node: The Cron node will trigger the workflow every minute.
HTTP Request node: This node will make a GET request to the API https://api.wheretheiss.at/v1/satellites/25544/positions to fetch the position of the ISS. This information gets passed on to the next node in the workflow.
Set node: We will use the Set node to ensure that only the data that we set in this node gets passed on to the next nodes in the workflow.
AWS SQS: This node will send the data from the previous node to the iss-position topic. If you have created a topic with a different one, you can use that topic instead.
