Real-Time ISS Location Updates to MQTT Topic
Automatically fetches International Space Station position every minute via API and publishes latitude, longitude, and timestamp to an MQTT topic for real-time IoT integration.
This workflow triggers every minute using a Cron node to fetch the current position of the International Space Station (ISS) from the WhereTheISS.at API via an HTTP Request node. It extracts key data—name, latitude, longitude, and timestamp—using a Set node to streamline the payload, then publishes it to a customizable MQTT topic like 'iss-position'.
Benefits include effortless real-time tracking without custom coding, enabling seamless integration with IoT dashboards, home automation systems,
