MQTT data manipulation

[PaddyB]

Well ... I made it so that it is interpreted as an integer by now, the revolutions are now read as an integer by MQTT (Just by selecting the correct Signal K key, see below)



Data is read correctly with just a few bytes network load. (see below) I will try the UDP solution and compare. 



When it was treated as text i could read the key and the data in KIP, now i can't anymore.

Bit confused how you've managed to convert from  a string to integer? MQTT is sent as text, just the way it is apparently. Unless the openplotter mqtt tab somehow converts the text value to numerical? I just had a play with node red sending revs as an integer and a string. KIP seems a bit picky when you change path data formats, try setting a widget to blank then back to text and another to blank then  numerical, text values will show up as available path in a text widget. Engine2 below is a text value sent over signalk.
