Usage
-----

### Emoncms post.

The `msg.payload` can contain either a comma separated list of name
value pairs, e.g.

        name:value,...

or a comma separated list of values, e.g.

        1,2,..

or a simple javascript object e.g.

        msg.payload = {temp:12, humidity:56};

If *Nodegroup* is left blank `msg.nodegroup` will used (if set).
This should be a numeric value.

Insertion time can be manipulated by setting `msg.time`. This **must** be in
epoch format - i.e. seconds since 1970.

### Emoncms In:

Fetches last emoncms feed value, returns a numerical value.
