Question

I would like to publish GPS coordinates directly to an mqtt broker. Is this somehow possible?

I have a RUTX11 that is working with the broker already, I can request the status from the router no problem, there just does not seem to be an option to request the coordinates?

Answer 1

Hello, 

MQTT on RUTX11 is available though the data you can request from it is this: Monitoring via MQTT - Wiki Knowledge Base | Teltonika Networks (teltonika-networks.com)

But as a work around you can try using Modbus protocol and sending the data to server via MQTT. 

Here are some useful links: 
Monitoring via Modbus - Wiki Knowledge Base | Teltonika Networks (teltonika-networks.com)
RUTX11 Modbus - Wiki Knowledge Base | Teltonika Networks (teltonika-networks.com)
RUTX11 Data to Server - Wiki Knowledge Base | Teltonika Networks (teltonika-networks.com)

I hope it helps

Hey Jerome,

Thanks for the input, I will start testing with this and certainly see some posibility here to do what I want to do. However, is it possible to log a feature request to have gps data directly available through MQTT like the other simple parameters, makes for a smaller learning curve for newbies like me.

Hello,

For those kind of request it is best to contact your sales account manager and communicate such request for additional development.
