abstractMqttDriver-MqttNumericObjectPublishExt

This component configures the publishing of numeric data.

This component is in the abstractMqttDriver palette under the AbstractMqttPoints folder.

To access these properties, expand Config > Drivers > AbstractMqttDriverNetwork, expand a device, expand the Points folder, expand this point and double-click the Proxy Ext.

In addition to the standard properties (Status, Fault Cause and Enabled) these properties are unique to this component.

Property	Value	Description
Device facets	additional properties	Determine how values are formatted for display depending on the context and the type of data. For example, instead of the Boolean facets trueText and falseText you may want to display ON and OFF, Access Granted and Access Denied or Locked and Unlocked. You access facets by clicking an Edit button or a chevron >>. Both open an Edit Facets window.
Conversion	drop-down	Defines how the system converts proxy extension units to parent point units. `Default` automatically converts similar units (such as Fahrenheit to Celsius) within the proxy point. NOTE: In most cases, the standard `Default` conversion is best. `Linear` applies to voltage input, resistive input and voltage output writable points. Works with linear-acting devices. You use the Scale and Offset properties to convert the output value to a unit other than that defined by device facets. `Linear With Unit` is an extension to the existing linear conversion property. This specifies whether the unit conversion should occur on “Device Value” or “Proxy Value”. The new linear with unit convertor, will have a property to indicate whether the unit conversion should take place before or after the scale/offset conversion. `Reverse Polarity` applies only to Boolean input and relay output writable points. Reverses the logic of the hardware binary input or output. `500 Ohm Shunt` applies to voltage input points only. It reads a 4-to-20mA sensor, where the Ui input requires a 500 ohm resistor wired across (shunting) the input terminals. `Tabular Thermistor` applies to only a Thermistor input point and involves a custom resistance-to-temperature value response curve for Type 3 Thermistor temperature sensors. `Thermistor Type 3` applies to an Thermistor Input point, where this selection provides a “built-in” input resistance-to-temperature value response curve for Type 3 Thermistor temperature sensors. `Generic Tabular` applies to non-linear support for devices other than for thermistor temperature sensors with units in temperature. Generic Tabular uses a lookup table method similar to the “Thermistor Tabular” conversion, but without predefined output units.
Tuning Policy Name	drop-down list	Selects a network tuning policy by name. This policy defines stale time and minimum and maximum update times. During polling, the system uses the tuning policy to evaluate both write requests and the acceptability (freshness) of read requests.
Read Value	read-only	Displays the last value read from the device, expressed in device facets.
Write value	read-only	Displays the last value written, using device facets.
Topic	text	Defines a string that the broker uses to filter messages for each client. A topic consists of one or more topic levels. Each level is separated by a forward slash (topic level separator).
Qos	drop-down list	Defines the Qos (Quality of Service) level, which configures how persistently the broker and client attempt to ensure that a message is received. `Fire And Forget (0)` delivers the message once with no confirmation. `Atleast Once (1)` delivers the message at least once with confirmation required. `Exactly Once (2)` delivers the message exactly once by using a four-step handshake. Messages may be sent at any Qos level, and clients may attempt to subscribe to topics at any Qos level.
Retained	`true` (default)or `false`	Configures the broker to save the message for the specified topic as its Last Will and Testament (last known good value). It is useful for newly-connected subscribers to receive the last retained message for the topic immediately after subscribing and extremely helpful to provide status updates from components and devices on individual topics.
Publish Message on Change	`true` (default)or `false`	Determines if the client publishes a message when a value changes.
