Custom MQTT Connection

The ADA P1 Meter can connect not only to the okosvillanyora.hu system, but also to any other MQTT broker, provided its address is known.

This allows the use of your own servers, private clouds, or even public MQTT services.

Setting up a custom broker

You can set the custom MQTT connection during the initial configuration of the ADA P1 Meter, when the device is in hotspot mode.

  1. Connect to the Wi-Fi network named "okosvillanyora.hu" (password: 12345678)
  2. Open your browser and go to: http://192.168.4.1
  3. On the configuration interface, find the MQTT Settings section

Default settings

  • Host: mqtt.okosvillanyora.hu
  • Port: 1883

These values can be freely changed.

  • Host field: enter your own MQTT server's domain name or IP address
  • Port field: change this if you're using a port other than the default 1883

What is it useful for?

  • Custom data logging and storage on your own server
  • Automation systems (e.g., Node-RED, OpenHAB, Domoticz)
  • Remote visualization solutions (Grafana, Telegraf, InfluxDB)
  • Forwarding data to multiple systems in parallel

Important note

If the device connects to a different broker, the okosvillanyora.hu web interface will not display the data, since it won't reach the default server.

So it's important to decide whether you want to:

  • Use the cloud-based service (okosvillanyora.hu), or
  • Build your own infrastructure

Both options are fully supported — the ADA P1 Meter can work with either.
