Add to root MQTT topic panel SN

[TheKitoInc]

Hi,

The idea is to add at MQTT root topic, panel serial number, to handle multiple panels at the same time without create a full custom config for each

I do it in a dirty way editing file paradox/connections/ip/commands.py

and add at file header:
from paradox.config import config as cfg, get_limits_for_type

then add at line 130 (before logger.info):

cfg.MQTT_BASE_TOPIC = "PDX" + binascii.hexlify(response.ip_module_serial).decode("utf-8").upper()

I'm sure it wasn't the best way to do it, but I only know a little of Python.

Thanks
Regards

MQTT_BASE_TOPIC can be overridden in configuration.

yes, but i was thinking in the context of have multiple alarm panels in cloud hosted broker, to make a swan open alternative

[yozik04]

but everybody wants to have different MQTT_BASE_TOPIC. You want serial number, somebody wants street name and so on.

Yes, it's just an idea.

A better way to do this may be to add a flag in the configuration file.

That flag enables an intermediate MQTT topic between the root and others with the serial number value.
