Hi,
I am trying to subscribe to the local MQTT on the local network. No matter what I do I only get the System Serial returned. I see that this has been posted before but none of the solutions work for me, or they don't have a valid resolution.
Thanks!
Ah - figured it out - I will leave this here for other people to find:
If using mosquitto to test, use 2 consoles, one for the subscribe and one for the publish (you have to publish to the local server every 60 seconds otherwise it kills it - the docs make it sound like this is only for the cloud interface)
Here is the commands that I use:
mosquitto_sub -h ccgx -t 'N/#'
In the other console, run this
while [ 1 ]; do mosquitto_pub -h ccgx -t 'R/<id>/system/0/Serial' -m ''; sleep 60; done
HTH somebody!
Could you please be a bit more specific ?
You habve to publish the given String via MQTT to make the Venus send MQTT messages !?!?
All I get is the same "system/0/Serial" you got ...

I have setup the raspberry pi venus and turned on the MQTT
When i used a windows client to subscribe i also only got the serial number
That was until i installed the docker container venus-server and added my raspberry pi venus to the venus server config
Now i get all the details out of the MQTT
if u search raspberry pi victron there are youtube videos on how to do it release by victron
hope this helps
