With the limited info you have supplied you should be able to do.

mqtt\_in - rate limit - template - http request.

example

```auto
[{"id":"2b8b4b5c0037e0df","type":"inject","z":"da8a6ef0b3c9a5c8","name":"","props":[{"p":"payload"},{"p":"topic","vt":"str"}],"repeat":"","crontab":"","once":false,"onceDelay":0.1,"topic":"mqtt/topic/sensor","payload":"15","payloadType":"num","x":140,"y":3000,"wires":[["9b86e6e0032cc5ca"]]},{"id":"9b86e6e0032cc5ca","type":"delay","z":"da8a6ef0b3c9a5c8","name":"","pauseType":"queue","timeout":"5","timeoutUnits":"seconds","rate":"1","nbRateUnits":"10","rateUnits":"minute","randomFirst":"1","randomLast":"5","randomUnits":"seconds","drop":true,"allowrate":false,"outputs":1,"x":360,"y":3000,"wires":[["e1cd854ba7096f71"]]},{"id":"e1cd854ba7096f71","type":"template","z":"da8a6ef0b3c9a5c8","name":"msg.url","field":"url","fieldType":"msg","format":"handlebars","syntax":"mustache","template":"http://192.168.0.93/cm?cmnd=DisplayText {{payload}}°C","output":"str","x":560,"y":3000,"wires":[["6d964e69ccee53b4"]]},{"id":"6d964e69ccee53b4","type":"http request","z":"da8a6ef0b3c9a5c8","name":"","method":"GET","ret":"txt","paytoqs":"ignore","url":"","tls":"","persist":false,"proxy":"","insecureHTTPParser":false,"authType":"","senderr":false,"headers":[],"credentials":{"user":"","password":""},"x":730,"y":3000,"wires":[[]]}]
