Wirepas Gateway Protobuf MQTT Protocol. Wirepas protocol connects Wirepas mesh network gateways to flespi over MQTT using the standard protobuf-encoded gateway-to-backend API published by Wirepas. Any vendor's gateway implementing this API can stream mesh data to flespi without vendor lock-in. flespi decodes received packet events and Wirepas positioning application payloads, registering separate messages mesh tags and anchors with RSSI measurement arrays for indoor positioning, battery voltage, and mesh diagnostics such as hop count and travel time.
Messages are registered per mesh node, not per gateway: each node's message uses its Wirepas network address as the ident and carries the relaying gateway's identifier in the gateway.id parameter, while every anchor that saw the node additionally receives its own message with the observed asset and RSSI in the tags array. Nodes are automatically classified as tags or anchors by the type of RSSI measurement they report, and message timestamps come from the event generation time reported by the gateway.
