9.4.2 META DATA
The Meta tab allows you to add information about the Modbus slave. Some of this information is then
automatically used (by default) to define the MQTT topic on which data will be published.
If Meta Data is populated the custom “MQTT Topic” will be composed of the text from the Location,
Description and Name fields as entered in the Meta Data tab:
E.g. <Location>/<Description>/<Name>
When considering topic design, it is important that the topic hierarchy is carefully chosen to facilitate
searching and filtering using wildcards. In the example shown in the screenshot, the “MQTT Topic” is
Warehouse/Fan/Fan1.
The custom value that the “MQTT Topic” takes by default, using Meta Data, is not the same thing as
the “Default Topic”.
