__TOC__

==Summary==
 +
In this guide, the MQTT Serial Gateway function will be configured using third-party MQTT Broker services (in this example, ''Flespi.io'').
   −
==Configuration overview and prerequisites==
+
==Configuration overview & prerequisites==
 +
*Two devices with serials ports - one acts as Modbus RTU Master, another as Modbus RTU Slave;
 +
*Flespi.io account to act as an MQTT Broker/Publisher/Subscriber (for first configuration example);
   −
Before we begin, let's take a look at the configuration that we are attempting to achieve and the prerequisites that make it possible.
+
[[File:MQTT Serial gateway topology v2.png|border|center|class=tlt-border|847x279px]]
   −
'''Prerequisites''':
+
RUT2 will act as a Modbus RTU slave and RUT1 as a Modbus RTU Master. On RUT1, MQTT Serial Gateway will be configured to transfer Modbus data over MQTT. Flespi.io platform will serve as an MQTT Broker
* Two RUT/RUTX series routers with RUTOS firmware;
  −
* An end device (PC, Laptop) for configuration;
     −
If you're having trouble finding any page or some of the parameters described here on your device's WebUI, you should turn on '''"Advanced WebUI"''' mode. You can do that by '''clicking''' the '''"Basic"''' button '''under''' '''"Mode,"''' which is located at the top-right corner of the WebUI.
+
==RUT2 configuration==

+
===Configuring Modbus RTU Slave===
 +
----
 +
Go to Services → Modbus → Modbus RTU Slave and create a new instance.
 +
# Enter the '''desired instance name''';
 +
# Select the '''desired serial interface'''.

RUT1 - RUTX11 as a hub. It will be our "default gateway" for spoke device. RUTX11 has a LAN subnet of 192.168.11.0/24 configured on it, which should be reachable by the spoke.
+
==RUT1 configuration==
 +
===Configuring MQTT Gateway===
 +
----
 +
Go to '''Services → Modbus → MQTT Gateway''' and there:
   −
RUT2 - RUT955 as a spoke. It will be connecting to a hub for basic internet access. RUT955 has a lan subnet of 192.168.9.0/24 configured on it, which should be reachable by the hub.
+
# '''Enable''' the '''instance''';
 +
# '''Enter Host''' (copied from flespi connection settings without 'wss://' and port);
 +
# '''Enter Username''' (Copied from flespi Connection settings generated '''token''');
 +
# '''Enter Password'''.
   −
==RUT1 (Hub) configuration==
+
[[File:MQTT Gateway config.png|border|center|class=tlt-border|862 × 412px]]
Start by configuring HUB (RUT1) device. Login to the WebUI, navigate to '''Services → VPN → IPsec''' and add a new IPsec instance. Configure everything as follows:
     −
[[File:IPsec HUB.png|border|center|class=tlt-border|755x406px]]
+
'''Note''': ''Everything else can be left as default or changed according to your needs.''
    +
===Configuring Serial Gateway===
 +
----
 +
Under the MQTT Gateway configuration, create the Serial Gateway:
 +
# Enter the '''desired device ID''';
 +
# Select the '''desired serial interface'''.
   −

+
[[File:Serial gateway config.png|border|center|class=tlt-border|868×308px]]
    +
===Configuring Flespi.io MQTT Broker===
 +
----
 +
'''Log in''' or '''create an account''' on '''https://flespi.io''';
   −
[[File:IPsec HUB Connection Advanced.png|border|center|class=tlt-border|752x541px]]
+
#Navigate to '''MQTT Board''' on the '''left side''' menu;                                       
 +
#On the right-hand panel, top right corner, next to the name of the MQTT board, '''press the cogwheel-looking icon''' to open ''Connection Settings'';
 +
#In the opened window, press '''"Get flespi token"''' to generate a username;
 +
#Enter the '''Client name''';
 +
#Copy the Host address;
 +
#Copy '''Username''';
 +
#Create a '''password'''.
    +
Once done, save all the changes.

==RUT2 (Spoke) configuration==
+
===Message format for MQTT publisher===
 +
----
 +
Modbus request data sent in the MQTT payload should be generated in accordance with the following format:
   −
== See also ==
+
<pre>1 <COOKIE> <SERIAL_DEVICE_ID> <TIMEOUT> <SLAVE_ID> <MODBUS_FUNCTION> <FIRST_REGISTER> <REGISTER_COUNT> </pre>
   −
== External links ==
+
The table below explains what each option means:

Modbus parameters are held within registers. The register numbers and corresponding system values can be found [[RUT955_Monitoring_via_Modbus#Get_Parameters|'''in this article''']].

 +
==Testing MQTT Publisher and Subscriber on flespi.io==
 +
====Adding Flespi Subscriber====
 +
----
 +
To test the Modbus Serial Gateway functionality, '''log into''' your '''Flespi account''' → '''MQTT Board''' and '''add a Subscriber''':
 +
 
 +
#Press '''''<nowiki/>'+'''''' button on the top right corner
 +
#Select '''''<nowiki/>'Subscriber''''''
 +
# In the topic field enter '''''<nowiki/>'response''''''
 +
#Press '''''<nowiki/>'Subscribe'''''' button
 +
 
 +
[[File:Flespi subscriber.png|border|class=tlt-border|496x204px]]          [[File:Flespi subscriber setup.png|border|class=tlt-border|496x205px]]
 +
====Adding Flespi Subscriber====
 +
----
 +
 
 +
Also, you will need to '''add a Publisher''':
 +
 
 +
#Press '''''<nowiki/>'+'''''' button on the top right corner
 +
#Select '''''<nowiki/>'Publisher''''''
 +
#In the topic field enter '''''<nowiki/>'request''''''
 +
#In the message field enter message, for this example '''''<nowiki/>'Getting temperature'''''' is used
 +
#Press '''''<nowiki/>'Publish'''''' button
 +
 
 +
[[File:Flespi publisher.png|border|class=tlt-border|495x238px]]  [[File:Flespi publisher setup.png|border|class=tlt-border|494x239px]]
 +
====Flespi Subscriber output====
 +
----
 +
Check the response in the '''''<nowiki/>'Subscriber'''''' tab, you should receive a message similar to the one below.
 +
 
 +
 
 +
[[File:Flespi response.png|border|center|class=tlt-border|500x305px]]
 +
 
 +
 
 +
In the output, we can see that router's '''temperature''' is '''44 degrees Celsius'''.
