Network & MQTT

WiFi Connection

Go to Network → WiFi (Client).

ParameterDescription
SSIDYour WiFi network name (click to select from list)
PasswordWiFi network password
EnableEnable/disable WiFi client

After saving, the device restarts and connects to the specified network.


Access Point (AP)

The device can operate simultaneously as a client and as an access point.

Go to Network → Access Point.

ParameterDefaultDescription

Base Topic

All MQTT messages are published using the Wirenboard convention, under:

/devices/{client-name}/

where {client-name} is the Client name field value, lowercased. For example, a device named Scalior-SLC-BAA5 uses base topic /devices/scalior-slc-baa5/. Full topic list — see MQTT Reference.
