Asset Tracker v2 with Configurable MQTT Endpoint and Topics`

[azwawe]

Hi

I already build asset tracker v2 and upload it to my custom board. And all of the functionality works. But I would like to ask, is there any example I can follow to do changes on mqtt end point for asset tracker and also change the topic for publish the data? Thank you very much.

Hi Iman,

The endpoints are fixed for assert tracker v2+nRF Cloud. You can play with nRF9160: Simple MQTT — nRF Connect SDK 2.2.0 documentation (nordicsemi.com) to learn how to set your own topic and test with a public MQTT broker.

Best regards,

Charlie

thanks for replying. yes, I think I am planning to do that. Can I combine between asset tracker v2 with mqtt simple (but for broker I use open source broker) as thread? thanks.

Hi Imam,

I do not think you can easily add MQTT simple to AT v2 as a thread. 

I am not sure why you want to do this. Could you explain more about your application?

Best regards,

Charlie

Okay, will try that and check if that works or not.

I just want to publish location (longitude and lattitude) to open source mqtt server.

Thanks.

Hi Imam,

Ok, then I think nRF9160: nRF Cloud MQTT multi-service — nRF Connect SDK 2.2.0 documentation (nordicsemi.com) could be a good starting point.

Try to replace nRF Cloud with the mqtt server you are going to choose.

Best regards,
