Hi folk... still trying to learn, sorry.
I got Modbus working OK and tested generator manual start and reading the CCGX relay state, both of which were fine.
I am now trying to get MQTT to work but struggling.
I understand the timeout/keepalive issue and have a plan.
I have sent a read to force the server to wake and report and have topics suscribed without an issue. Keepalive is manual whilst I am testing.
Looking at the Modbus Doc I can see it lists the dbus object path which seems to work when constructing an MQTT topic to subscribe to... at least some of them work.
I have subscribed to parent levels, to get a list of what is there and cant see what I am looking for, speciffically generator manual start right now.
The doc lists it as /generator0/Runtime, which is clearly wrong as runtime, which works with Modbus, is also listed with the same objects path, and also dosnt work.
Subscribing to N/0c........b9/generator/0/+ gets me 6 results, none of which are Runtime or ManualStart
SO... Either there is an issue with the document, server, or more likely what I am doing with it but whatever the issuw I am stuck.
Can anyone help with MQTT object paths?
I did wonder if it was my client not handling writable stuff but runtime isnt writable so it isnt tht.
I have tried $SYS/# but only got stats not a pat list
Any an all suggestions welcom and feel free to tell me I am being silly if that is the issue.
