Limit MQTT topics

[CKnutson]

Hi, I am wondering if there is a way to define which topics from WeeWx tthat is published in MQTT.  There are so many topics that I do not uses.  Now I have binding=loop.

Thanks,

Chris

Hi,

I presume you are referring to the MQTT uploader in the wiki? If so have you specified an [[[inputs]]] stanza under [StdRESTful] [[MQTT]] with the WeeWX fields you wish to publish? I suspect you also need to include the config item obs_to_upload = none as well, something like this (untested):

[StdRESTful]
    [[MQTT]]
        ....
        obs_to_upload = none
        [[[inputs]]]
            [[[[outTemp]]]]
            [[[[windSpeed]]]]

The [[[inputs]]] stanza is covered in the MQTT instructions in the wiki entry, but the need for obs_to_upload is not so clear.

Thank you Gary, That was exactly what I was looking for.  I use WeeWX MQTT to feed my home automation.  Calming down the MQTT traffic really helps.
