What's the best way to send real-time data KM? In this scenario, a macro would be continuously running as basically a process. AppleScript is the only way I can think of. Any other ideas?
While I'm here, congrats and appreciate to Peter for another incredible update!
Hey Bill,
Welcome to the forum! 
Please be more specific about what you're doing.

Thank you, Chris. Good questions—
Data: Packets of 32 integers or floats (but not both)
Frequency: It's not possible to know, but probably faster than a KM can (and should) handle. Fortunately, a sampling of the packets is fine; ideally the period would be (roughly) higher than 50 ms.
Function: KM will perform simple calculations at O(1), broadcasting the results as a real-time stream (of integers or floats, but not both) to user applications. (The broadcast frequency would be similar to the incoming stream.)
Thank you.
I'm looking to do a similar thing as @notsteve. I would like to have a remote HomeKit automation periodically send temperature and humidity data to my local instance using an http POST message so I can run a KM macro based on what is happening on a HomeKit sensor in a house in another state.
Currently I have a HomeKit automation that sends data to a Google Sheets spreadsheet using the excellent instructions provided by a person named Reinoud Elhorst at this site: https://blog.claude.nl/tech/howto/logging-homekit-data-to-google-sheets-for-free-walkthrough/
Instead of doing the http POST to Google Sheets I'd like KM to capture the data.
Is there an easy way to do this in KM? It would be great if the remote web trigger could accept data somehow like a subroutine.
Thanks for listening.
There is, indeed. There are two actions for chron jobs, one of which will probably be perfect. (Let me know if you need more info.)
Hi ha I didn't realise you responded - thank you for the welcome. In the interim, I've got everything working - this is a wonderful community.
