MxBaseModule Library - howto install

Post by otverber »

hello

trying to install MQTT subscriber to get AMS reader information into Z way.
MxBaseModule Library is required and I have added this, but need som more details related to installation which states the following:
Copy the app folder on the server computer to userModules folder.
Only on Linux and if required: Add line to the file .syscommands.
If required: Insert your email acoount data.
Start module.

Anybody who can detail this?

Hi,
sorry that the instruction is so unclear.
Copy the app folder on the server computer to userModules folder.
You can ignore this sentence, cause after download from store it's automatically in that folder.
Only on Linux and if required: Add line to the file .syscommands.
If your ZWay server is running on Linux, MxBaseModule provides additional functions. For example to send an email. To use this, you have to enter the given line with an editor into file ../automation/.syscommands.
If required: Insert your email acoount data.
MxMQTT Subscriber can mark special devices/values as failed and can send an email in that case via MxBaseModule. Therefor you have to enter your account data into MxBaseModule.
Start module.
That's the normal proceeding: Add App + Save

Thanks for the information.
I now have mosquitto running on raspi together with zway and the mqtt subscriber app.
My ams reader connects to the broker.
Could you elaborate howto show power as W and accumulated power KWh in virtual elements..
Data shown in mqtt explorer as:
AMSdata/meter/import/active/
AMSdata/meter/import/active/accumulated/

please give example for setting up this trough subscriber?

best regards otverber
