MQTT

[ColoradoSolar]

I have started playing around with MQTT and it would be nice if the dashbox would set the retain flag when publishing messages. I am working on a iOS app that will get data from the MQTT broker but nothing is available when the app starts until the dashbox publishes again.

Also I have firmware 4.2.4c9a and I see there is firmware 4.2.4c15c on your website but there are no release notes. Can someone tell me what changed in the latest firmware.

Thanks,
Eric

Probably posted this in the wrong place. I didn't notice the other forums until after I logged in and posted.

I just noticed a bug with the retain, fixed it and posted a new version (c15d).

The calendar was a big part of a few of those revisions, fought with a daylight savings bug for awhile.
There's been a few changes with the RF implementation.
Multi-conditional alerts have been implemented.
Dark mode works better, shouldn't need to refresh the page also.
You can add multiple time-servers now.

Thanks for the quick update.

We should just do away with daylight savings time and save us all a bunch of hassle

Ben,

So the update fixed the retain issue, however, the website is now stuck on "Page is loading..." with the attached error in the console.

What's the URL you're accessing?

Web browser/OS also may be handy.

Make sure you've refreshed your cache too.

I am just access the root /. I have tried via an internal DNS entry I have and by ip address.

I have tried multiple browsers and devices. Safari and Chrome on macOS, Safari on iPad and iPhone.

I did refresh the cache and some of these browsers have never accessed the dashbox in the past.

Sent an email with some instructions.

OK, everything is sorted and running smoothly again.

One feature I would like to see is more frequent publishing to mqtt. I have a mobile app that among other things is displaying my Dashbox mqtt topics. Sometimes is takes a while for the Dashbox to publish a new set of data.

Thanks,
Eric

I am running c15d and just turned on MQTT publishing, it does not appear to be setting the retain flag on any of the messages. Is there a trick to this?
