3.10.4. Sending Waspmote frames to Meshlium via HTTPS

Since Meshlium Manager System v4.0.9, HTTPS is the default method for sending data.

For

HTTPS

, the user must keep in mind that the Meshlium’s certificate has to be installed in the Waspmote or

Plug & Sense! radio prior to opening secure connections. The next picture shows how the user can download the
Meshlium’s

certificate

from Manager System

Meshlium certificate export process

The downloaded certificate must be installed following the steps explained in the “SSL sockets” section and the

proper library function. Also, the example linked at the end of this section shows how to perform the installation.
