Subtopic (input)

When Use name option in the Subtopic field is enabled, the topic of the MQTT messages by which the input readings are published will refer to the process by its Name rather than its index number in the form of process_[id]. Learn more in MQTT API.

Use this to increase the user-friendliness of the MQTT messages or to get rid of the dependence on the process numbering.

[VALUE] of this variable may assume values 0 or False for disabling and 1 or True for enabling this option.

HTTP

The device will accept HTTP requests at the following URLs:

(POST) http://[IPv4]/var_set?param=inpubnm_[PROCESS ID]&val=[VALUE]
(GET) http://[IPv4]/var_request?param=inpubnm_[PROCESS ID]



POST: http://192.168.1.255/var_set?param=inpubnm_7&val=1

will enable publishing of the Process #7 input via MQTT with the process name as a sub-topic.

Learn more in HTTP API. For obtaining the relevant MQTT telemetry please check MQTT API.

MQTT

This parameter cannot be accessed via MQTT. Learn more in MQTT API. For obtaining the relevant MQTT telemetry please check MQTT API.

Example

If the process #6 with the Name: bedroom_temp publishes its input readings under the original topic:

  • myhouse/livingroom/pub/process_6/input

Then activating the Use name will alter the topic of published messages to:

  • myhouse/livingroom/pub/bedroom_temp/input
