Publishing data

To publish data to the broker, you link a data point output value to an MQTT publish point of the proper data type. This procedure is the same when publishing Boolean, string and enum data.

You have added the points you need to the station.
  1. Expand Config > Drivers and expand the device.
  2. Right-click the Points node and select Views > Wire Sheet.
    The Wire Sheet view opens.
  3. Right-click the point glyph and select a Link Mark option from the list.


  4. For a numeric point, right-click it and select the Link To “MqttNumericPublishPoint” from the menu.
    The Link window opens.

  5. Connect the output of the data point to the input of the MqttNumericPublishPoint.
    The data should now be transferring to the broker.
