By design, the use of MQTT removes the requirement for periodic publishing of infrequently changing data whilst maintaining data integrity. Each time an MQTT Client connects, a BIRTH message is published which contains all metrics with a current time stamp. After that initial BIRTH message, metric changes are published using DDATA messages. If there are no metric changes for a data point, the timestamp provided in the BIRTH message is a valid timestamp for that data point. |
By default the MQTT messages from Transmission are sent only upon Value or Quality changes and there is no provision to resend a tag(s) at an interval if the values have not changed.
