Transmission of PM 2.5 and PM 10 values from the SDS011 sensor via ESP8266 to Domoticz

Hello
I have an ESP8266 (actually a Node MCU) and an SDS011 air quality sensor connected to it. On the ESP I have uploaded ESP Easy. In this software the sensor is implemented and thanks to this I was able to get results for the two quantities measured by the sensor without any problem, namely PM 2,5 and PM 10. The problem arises when I want to send the data to Domoticz. In ESP Easy there is the possibility to enter only one IDX of the controller. If I do this I get the measurement result in Domoticz, but only the PM 2.5 value. Can anyone advise how to send the other value to Domoticz? From what I have been able to read it is necessary to enter the appropriate code in Rules, however the one I found on another forum unfortunately does not work.

In Devices, add this sensor a second time, with a different IDX, and send the second value, i.e. enter PM10 in the first line of Values, instead of PM25.

Greetings

Unfortunately, it does not work. To confirm the screen. The results only show up in the first of the added sensors.

.

Set a different time interval for the second one, if you have e.g. 60s for the first one then set e.g. 55s for the second one and try it.
And one more point, PM sensors should not be polled (read) too often as they have a certain life span.

Greetings

I have tried with different interval values and once it sends me data from one sensor and once from the other. I have never been able to set it to send both. The other issue is that changing the name in the row in Values doesn't do anything, i.e. typing PM 10 in place of PM 2.5 doesn't display PM 10 values in the first row, which also causes PM 2.5 values to be sent from the second sensor to Domoticz as well (as shown in the screenshot).

Regarding the second part of your answer, yes, I am aware of this and ultimately want to set a measurement every 30 minutes or so.

There are several ways to solve your problem:
Way one - using rules
Way two - using MQTT and node red.
Way three - change the software to Tasmot

The rules way would probably be the best solution for me, but as I mentioned, I already tried this method with the code found on another forum, but unfortunately it doesn't work, i.e. nothing flies to Domoticz. The communication itself over MQTT to Domoticz is configured correctly, because if I select Send to Controller in ESP then the PM 2.5 value is sent correctly. On the screengrab the code I paste into Rules and which supposedly should work. Perhaps some good soul can take a look at it and point out a possible error? I have the IDX entered correctly of course.
.

I am not keen on EspEasy precisely because of the fact that something should work and doesn't want to.
However, maybe instead of the Domoticz controller you can use MQTT for Home Assistant, and use Node-red as an intermediary.
I highly encourage you to use nodered. Once you have mastered nodered, the world seems more beautiful .

And what kind of device are you using on the Domoticz side ? If this :

Air quality

Then you must send nvalue and not svalue :

/json.htm?type=command¶m=udevice&idx=IDX&nvalue=PPM
IDX = id of your device (This number can be found in the devices tab in the column "IDX")
PPM = CO2-concentration

Remove the svalue together with the preceding comma, and move what you have after the svalue to the nvalue

Greetings

In Domoticz, following instructions found on another forum, I use Custom Sensor. To test the change you suggested in the code I created one Air Quality and entered its idx (160) in the code. Unfortunately also without the desired results. However, maybe I made an error in editing the code? Please forgive me, but I am not a programmer and my knowledge on the subject is negligible.

According to the domoticz API:
https://www.domoticz.com/wiki/MQTT
This sensor update needs:
.
So we send in svalue as text.
In nvalue a boolean state is sent to the switches only.

Thanks gentlemen for your help. I finally managed to upload both measurements to Domoticz. I have included the working code in rules below for posterity.

On SDS011#PM10 to
SendToHTTP 192.168.1.3,8082,/json.htm?type=command&param=udevice&idx=158&nvalue=0&svalue=[SDS011#PM10]
endon

On SDS011#PM25 to
SendToHTTP 192.168.1.3,8082,/json.htm?type=command&param=udevice&idx=157&nvalue=0&svalue=[SDS011#PM25]
endon

Of course you need to enter your ip and port and idx from Domoticz
