Unable to register with mDash

code works fine, tried to tie the device into mdash and get the following errors. I do have a custom MQTT server defined, but i included the mdash library as directed.

The mdash.net uses MQTT protocol, thus both of your custom MQTT server and mDash compete for the MQTT settings. Choose one.

You can create multiple MQTT connections to multiple servers “by hands”, but that is not as trivial as setting mqtt config.

according to the library, i can assign a second mqtt for mdash explicitly, is this wrong?

The library uses Websocket connection, not MQTT. Thus is it possible to use the library together with the custom MQTT server. However, we discourage that since the Websocket support may be deprecated in the future.

i certainly hope not as I am planning on an enterprise solution and have narrowed down my best option to be mDash, i’d hate to have to reconsider

I managed to get it working by adding teh CA-bundle and deleting the lines for the SSL cert and key. seems good to go for now, hopefully you give a fair notice when you plan to deprecate websockets. Also, a side question, why cant I rename “deviceXX”, or am i doing something wrong? i assumed it would update with the actual device ID, but its not.

Device attributes are immutable except the shadow attribute which you can change.

damn, that kinda sucks, lol. illl have to find a way to auto label devices then

Set tags.labels string field in the shadow.
You can do it via the API.
