MQTT Uploading

This will help you adjust your base.json so that SolarThing starts uploading to some MQTT broker.

Note

The code behind MQTT functionality has had little testing. If you find issues with it, please report them on our issue page.

Creating mqtt.json

This file that you create can be called anything, but we will call it mqtt.json. It can also be placed anywhere, but we will place it in the config directory that also contains our already created base.json.

Lets get into the config directory we need.

cd <THE DIRECTORY YOU USED IN PREVIOUS STEPS>

And now we will create mqtt.json

nano config/mqtt.json

Paste this into your newly created file:

{
  "type": "mqtt",
  "config": {
    "broker": "tcp://localhost:1883",
    "username": "admin",
    "password": "hivemq"
  }
}

Adjust the settings as needed, then save the file.
