MQQT registration info

[incagarcilaso]

Cannot find this info in other posts - sorry if I have missed it. What port do I need to use in the "Register" tab for MQQT? Not sure which port it runs on. In the "Machine ID" field does that need to be the machine ID of the ICC instance?

Machine ID is generated by the the software. You need to send it to Manie, he will generate a license key for you. Similar to ICC app.

Thanks. I imagine @Manie will see this. Please also let me know the port that I need to use with the IP. From what I understand the MQQT Windows App connects in to the MQQT "server" running on the Raspberry Pi. So I know the IP of this but am not clear which port that MQQT "server" uses. Also, if it is a special port, will I need to set up a firewall rule in the Raspberry to open it on the Raspberry? At the moment I am running MQQT Windows App on the local network with the Raspberry.

Look at the pi settings. There is a place for mqtt and the port number

OK, I see it there. So do I need a Machine ID for the MQTT as @cvzyl mentions? If so perhaps I need to PM you for that?

The MQTT is great by the way. It means that normally you don't even need to worry about remoting in to the pi where ICC is running. For monitoring all I need to do, then, is just run this app. I will only need to remote in to the pi if I need to change mode or other settings. Makes a great add-on to ICC.

Is the data coming through on the pi?

I now have the data coming through into ICC on the pi. I connected the USB to the "slave" Axpert inverter in the cluster and it works, as @Don mentioned. The only thing that doesn't seem to be configured correctly is the Emoncms feed. The Emoncms server is running on the same pi (not sure if that is a best practice) so it is localhost. In the settings tab in ICC I have entered the Emoncms API key and for the host "http://localhost/emoncms" but that is obviously not right as it doesn't send the data. Should I be using "http://127.0.0.1/emoncms" or something else?

Dit you use the local emoncms Write API key

Just enter the following under Emoncms Server : localhost/emoncms/ (without http)

Yes, the write api key. What address should I use in the "Emoncms server" field if that service running on the same pi?

Thanks, trying now ....

OK. That works - noteworthy that the trailing forward slash at the end of the address is required (not always the case).
