First configure the Mqtt client in the node. Deploy the node. The node will now connect to the QbusMqttGW over the MQTT server. Once connected it wil request the configuration. If the configuration is received the node wil list you all available controllers in your network. If your controller is not yet activated for MQTT you wil see a 'activation' button next to the dropdown box. Click it and your controller wil be activated for MQTT. Wait a minute for the controller to become active and then re-deploy.
If you select a output type, all outputs of the selected type wil be shown and can be selected.
output
If you connect the output of the node to a debug node (select complete msg object) you wil receive all updates of the slected output(s).
input
The node accepts messages like:
- msg.topic: value
- msg.payload: : true/false
This is a example of a 'bistabiel' output. To find out the msg object that can be used to control other output type's, just follow the debug messages.
