Hi
What I want to achive is:
1-Have an RPI with OpenPlotter in my boat that collects data like GPS position, AIS data and so on,
2-The RPI should bridge internet via an Android for devices onboard, like the kids phones, grib download files for my openCPN laptop
3-The boat OpenPlotter RPI shall send data collected to SignalK system at "home" via internet, like GPS position. So if others are using my boat I can follow them in my Home SignalK system.
#1 and #2 is working with OpenPlotter
I cant get my head around #3
-I have tried to setup NMEA0183 over internet, but the connection I need is in setup in the wrong direction.
I can configure my home system to connect via NMEA0183 to the boat RPI when I know the boat RPIs ip-address (like when testing in my home network). However that is not working in my case as the setup is in the wrong direction and I want the connection to be the other way around!
Can I configure the Boat RPI to send NMEA0183 to a host and port (like my home SignalK system)?
-I have tried mqtt with "Signal K - MQTT Gateway"
-send position data to a TLS and usernmae/passwd secured mqtt server att home
-bridged that to the unsecure mqtt in my home SignalK server and started that with "Signal K - MQTT Gateway"
-verified that the posttion data from my boat is in the home SignalK mqtt server
-but no data shows up in SignalK
-I thought one of the ideas of that plugin was to both send and retrieve data via mqtt, so I can have a central SignalK system and get data from several vessels?
Is there a way to send SignalK data to a remote SignalK system and let the connection be initiated from the boat system to a known ip adress?
Thanks
