Network & MQTT
WiFi Connection
Go to Network → WiFi (Client).
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| SSID | Your WiFi network name (click to select from list) |
| Password | WiFi network password |
| Enable | Enable/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.
| Parameter | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| SSID | scalior-slc-XXXXXX | Name of the created network |
| Password | printed in the manual | Password to connect to the AP |
| Enable | — | Enable/disable the access point |
The access point is useful as a backup way to access the device if it loses connection to the home network.
MQTT
Go to Network → MQTT.
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| Host | MQTT broker IP or domain |
| Port | Broker port (typically 1883) |
| Client name | Unique device name in the MQTT network — its lowercase form is also used as the device identifier in topics |
| Login | MQTT username (can be left empty if the broker requires no authentication) |
| Password | MQTT password |
| Expose topics | Which topics to publish: a set of checkboxes — "M" (Master) and one per flight. Only shown when there is more than one flight — with a single flight everything is published under "M" automatically |
| Home Assistant Discovery | Publish MQTT discovery config for automatic detection in Home Assistant (see Smart Home Integrations) |
| Toggle at the top of the panel | Enable/disable the MQTT client entirely |
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.
Connection Management
Each connection type can be toggled without entering settings:
| Action | Effect |
|---|---|
| "Disconnect WiFi" button | Disconnects WiFi client |
| "Disconnect AP" button | Disables the access point |
| "Disconnect MQTT" button | Terminates the MQTT connection |
Connection Status
In the control panel, MQTT status is displayed in the connections section:
| Status | Description |
|---|---|
| Disabled by user | MQTT is turned off in settings |
| Not connected | No connection to broker |
| Connecting... | Connection is being established |
| Connected | Connection is active |
| IP lost | Network connection lost |
