Notes:

The DeviceLabel is a user friendly label/title for the device which will be displayed on the mobile application as described in the networking walkthrough.
The DeviceName needs to be unique for each device.
The Port needs to match the port that the device is connected to. (Don't include the /dev/ section of the port)

The MQTT bridge log will show the latest output from the device.

View the the MQTT bridge output:

The output should look similar to this:

Or like this for the irrigator:

If the MQTT broker log shows data then your device should be able to send data and receive commands.

If a device isn't working properly the updater and MQTT services can be restarted.

The updater and MQTT bridge services for a device can be disabled.

Note: Disabled services will get re-enabled if another device is installed. Remove the device (below) to prevent it being re-enabled.

The updater and MQTT bridge services can be completely removed.

Note: Removed services won't get re-enabled unless re-added first.
