Hi,
in the next days I am going to setup Node Red with MQTT and my ESS.
The first tests are successful. But I only want to use it on local network for a display showing live data.
As I know, as soon, as I use MQTT in the venus gx, the data is also sent to mqtt.victronenetgy.com.
I see this in a light upload traffic. Well, I do not really need the online feature. So is it possible to disable it, while keeping the local function?
Can you make a switch in config menu?
Steffen
It would be nice to have a switch in the UI as part of the base system, I agree.
Meanwhile, one way that you may be able to block it by editing the etc/hosts file and pointing the mqtt site to somewhere else. I did this for a while and it seemed to work okay.
Hi ben,
Yeah, i think this should be a working solution. But I want a button for more convienience in future firmware. Imagine the data amount at victrons site, if thousends of systems would do this...
Steffen
Block it it your firewall.
Is this still the best solution? Or in the intervening 5 years, has Victron addressed this with a more official solution?
