We have a Teltronika FMB 140 beacon that we’ve configured with flespi on the backend and openremote on the frontend.
However, we’re having trouble configuring MQTT on the flespi and openremote sides.
Can you help us?
Do you have an existing tutorial?
Good afternoon @asorho ,
There’s a lot to unpack here. You mention that you use flespi on the backend and OpenRemote on the frontend. How are you currently transmitting the data from Flespi to OpenRemote?
Also, you refer to the device as a beacon, are you talking about the Teltonika Eye Beacon, and that’s connected to the FMB140?
The only way for a device to be connected to OpenRemote is to directly use the MQTT topic as specified in the tutorial, whilst posting your messages in codec JSON. There’s also the possibility of using the UDP server as outlined in the tutorial.
The tutorial and quickstart guides can all be found in the openremote/fleet-management wiki.
The above all assumes that you are currently using the OpenRemote fleet telematics integration, and not “vanilla” OpenRemote.
Hope this helps, let me know if you have any questions!
Hello @panos,
Thank you for your reply.
I looked at the different links you shared with me.
However, in my Teltonika configurator interface, I have UDP instead of the MQTT button.
So, according to the links you shared with me, I need to update the firmware.
Can you help me with the FMB140 update?
Thank you for your assistance.
Good morning @asorho ,
You can navigate to the FMB140’s firmware downloads, and then you’ll have to flash the device with the new firmware.
The version 04.00.00.Rev.01, released January 2025, is the first one to support MQTT and Codec JSON, so any version since that one should be good for you.
Teltonika has better guides about flashing devices than I do, so I suggest you look into their documentation,
Best of luck!
