Connect field readings to your MQTT broker or data platform
Agree the message fields and outage handling with the receiving service before configuring the field equipment.
Agree what happens to a reading from measurement to acknowledgement
| Choice | What to compare | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| Measure | Point identity, value, unit and original observation time | Keep observation time separate from upload time |
| Store and reconnect | Supported retention and retry behaviour | Confirm device and service behaviour through the agreed outage test |
| Deliver | Broker address, authentication, topic and payload | Check the actual interface supported by both ends |
| Receive | Acknowledgement, duplicate handling and missing-data rules | Name the owner of data, alarms and account access |
Example reading fields for a receiving service
| Record | Example value | What stays with the reading |
|---|---|---|
| device_id | field-point-01 | The documented device-to-site mapping |
| measurement | water_level | Definition and unit agreed for this point |
| observed_at | Original observation time | A recorded time zone and unchanged time during delayed upload |
| quality | fresh, missing or another agreed status | Use the receiving service’s actual vocabulary and rules |
