Response topic updates

This page provides instructions on how to listen for device updates in Glamox Connect using MQTT. Each entity provides a state_topic in its configuration payload, which must be subscribed to for receiving updates.

Listening for device updates

Each device publishes its updates to a unique state_topic. To receive updates, subscribe to the respective topic using an MQTT client. Glamox Connect sends only the changed values (delta updates) rather than the full state. Store previous states since updates only contain changes, maintain the last known state if needed. Ensure continuous listening in case of disconnection.

Example Updates

}
