Description

The loadpubliser is a java application that publishes the OpenFMB Phase I Resource Reading Profile using MQTT and uses the openfmb_common_mqtt repo. The loadpublisher is designed to be part of the overall Dtech Demo. It uses the kW load Table in the properties file to pusblish values (kW). The load table is composed of 24 hourly values and the publisher interpolates between the values with adds jitter to be published at the MQTT publish rate parameter.

Installing / Getting started

A quick introduction of the minimal setup you need to get the loadpublisher up & running. NOTE: This project is used in the Dtech Demo. Refer to Wiki for information on DTech Demo. You can separately install and run the project but you will need to additionaly install a MQTT broker and other processes depending on your use. Also dependencies such as JAVA, GIT and the MQTT Broker are described in the Wiki above
