Sparkcompass

This guide will take you through connection to the Sparkcompass platform. Prior to use the Sparkcompass platform with Meshlium, set you up your own sub-domain (e.g. yoursubdomain.pacificfjord.com or yoursubdomain.sparkcompass.com). When you log into your platform instance, select the app you want to receive data from your Meshlium.

How to set up Sparkcompass to receive data from the Meshlium hub

Select the MQQT tab in the Sparkcompass App where you want to receive the data coming from your Meshlium. Your Access UID and Access Key will be generated automatically. Create an MQTT device using the button shown and give it a unique Device ID (up to 23 characters).
