Hello.
I need to connect to a external MQTT Broker driven by The Things Network.
Anyone who have done this and can lead me in the right direction?
I have credentilals to connect via other software, in my case MQTTBox. But I can not establish a connection between Ignition and TheThingsIndustries.
I'm not familiar with them, but if they're using SSL, make sure your server URL starts with ssl://
and not tcp://
which is for non-SSL connections. That's something easy to miss.

See this guidance on Cirrus Link's docs page. Due to how the topics are laid out (specifically regarding the @
character), you have to leverage the String Conversion feature to translate what ends up as Ignition Tags via the Custom Namespace. I use this approach with success to hook my home Maker instance to TTN MQTT broker to bring in some of my LoRaWAN sensors.
