Simple EnOcean MQTT Client

18min

Introduction
The export module "Simple EnOcean MQTT Client" establishes the connection to an MQTT broker and publishes messages under different topics.
Multiple export instances can be created, but only one instance per broker URL.
Messages are always transmitted as strings and are usually formatted as JSON objects.
Configuration
In the IoT Export area of the Web configuration or the BSC Remote, the export connection can be created and the parameters configured.
TCP/SSL and web socket (http/https) connections are supported. Authentication is possible by username and password or client certificate.
The corresponding certificates or access data can be stored during configuration.
There is a possibility to customize the basic topics for publishing news.

MQTT topics
The used topic structure is divided into data and command t
Data topics
The gateway sends its status messages and the status messages of the connected devices via the data topics.
Sensors / Actuators
The topic stored in the configuration under "EnOcean Topic Prefix" serves as the basis.
This path is extended by the EURID of the device and the device message is published there.
Example topic:
enocean/513659d
Gateway
The topic stored in the configuration under "Gateway Topic Prefix" serves as the basis.
This path is extended by the hardware ID of the device and the status message is published there.
Example topic:
gateway/ACDBDA4512E0
Command topics
A simple way of controlling the gateway is implemented via the command Topics.
Actuators
The topic stored in the configuration under "EnOcean Topic Prefix" serves as the basis and enables actuators to be switch
This path is extended by the EURID of the device and the channel ID. As payload the new value is expected as string.
Example topic:
enocean/513659d/Switch
Example payload:
ON
OFF
Gateway
The topic stored in the configuration under "Gateway Topic Prefix" serves as the basis.
This path is extended by the hardware ID of the device and the command to be executed. A JSON object with the corresponding parameters is expected as payload.
Available commands:

Description
pairing
on or off
Time specification in seconds:
on=90
Switch the mode for automatic pairing of new devices on or off.

Optionally, a time can be specified in seconds after which the mode is automatically switched off again.
delete
One devices EURID
An attempt is made to delete the device.
