Several Smappee products can make their data available over MQTT on your own local network. What exactly is possible depends on the product: some run an MQTT broker themselves, others can only publish to a broker you provide.
Which Smappee Products support Local MQTT
| Product | Local MQTT support |
|---|---|
| Smappee Genius (1) | Has a local MQTT broker and can also send its data to another broker. Both are configured in the expert portal. Limited to its own measurement data, so you cannot read Smappee charger data on this broker. |
| Smappee Genius Flex | Has a local MQTT broker and can also publish the data of devices linked to the Genius Flex. It cannot send its data to another broker. The broker becomes available after you install the MQTT app from the Smappee store. |
| Smappee Energy, Solar, Plus and Pro | Support local MQTT but do not have a broker of their own. You configure your own broker in the expert portal. |
| Smappee Connect and P1 Module | Do not support local MQTT. A Smappee Connect can be linked to a Genius, so its measurement data can be read on the MQTT broker of that Genius. |

Genius Flex Local MQTT
For Genius Flex everything you need to know is documented on the following page: https://smappee.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/DEVAPI/pages/4878696547/Genius+Flex+interface
Genius (1) Local MQTT
The Smappee Genius (1) offers the possibility to obtain data directly via MQTT.
It has a local MQTT broker and can also send its data to another broker. In case you would like the Genius to send data to its own MQTT broker, the MQTT local broker URL must be set to tcp://localhost:1883.
Should you wish to use your own server you need to navigate to the expert portal and set the broker in advanced settings. (Expert portal)
- For a TCP MQTT connection use URL: tcp://ServerIP:Port
- For a TLS MQTT connection (MQTTS) use URL: ssl://ServerIP:Port
For TLS we do not support self signed certificates.
