MQTT

[ben]

I am using the data is an app I wrote that I use for controlling my solar system. I went the MQTT route since it seemed the easiest and it works fine just the updates are not quick enough. Where is there some docs on packet forwarding, including the format of the packets?

I found the packet format doc. Another question. One of my GEMs is connected RS-232 to the dashbox and the other is through WiFi. Can I still use packet forwarding?

If not set already, switch the WiFi GEM Binary-32-NET or Bin-48-NET-Time to send to DashBox IP/Port 8001 or 8002 (depending on what port is already in use) and it'll work.

So I can change the format in the "Packet Send" tab of the GEM interface but I have no idea where to go to tell the GEM to set where to send the packet

- WiFi/Ethernet, under the Network tab in the GEM Setup Webpage controls the TCP port.
- WiFi-only (if it's a reaaally old unit) you have to use the GEM Network Utility at https://www.brultech.com/software

Chances are it's WiFi/Ethernet.
