Test Servers

Ready to test some data flow over an MQTT server?

Three Labs has created test servers so that you can briefly test your Conduit’s data channel on a known-working MQTT endpoint.

mPower API commands are disabled on test servers (so you don’t reconfigure each other’s conduits).

Three Labs does not believe in exposing your sensitive data to third-parties/telcos, let alone a public test server.

For this reason external data channels will ever be configured by default on GATE-Ware. Be safe with your data!

To use a test server:

  1. Set the endpoint on your GATE-Ware config file as follows:
{
  "backend_mqtt_endpoint_host": "mqtt.gateware.io",
  "gateware_license_key": "your-license-key-here"
}

  1. Refer to section: Install GATE-Ware on your Conduit to install your updated configuration.

  2. After installing, you can use your favorite MQTT client to subscribe to your Conduit’s topic on endpoint: mqtt.gateware.io.

    Example - to see all end device uplink data from your Conduit:

    mosquitto_sub -h mqtt.gateware.io -v -p 1883 -t gateware/your_conduit_serial_number/lora/+/up

    NOTE: Make sure to replace your_conduit_serial_number with the serial number of your conduit.
