       Working with ListOfByte
       By: Artanicus Date: July 15, 2016, 1:36 pm
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       So, I've got MQTT running and I'm getting beacons fine. I can
       even push data myself, but it seems I'm restricted to payloading
       a ListOfByte and cannot payload a string directly. Converting a
       String to ListOfByte works fine:  payload.Add(payString) .. But
       how do I do the reverse on the backend side? I don't really know
       what language you're emulating so ListOfByte seems like a
       confusing and undocumented data type that's hard to work with.
       (Is there really no option to just push a raw string without
       conversions on the other side?)

       You should not have to do any conversion on the clients that is
       connected and subscribed to the topic that you are publishing
       on.
       Have you tried and seen something strange?

       I don't have a working example right now (don't have Windows
       available right now) but I'm watching the beacon stream and
       trying to decode it somehow but it's not really making much
       sense. What I was getting out of trying to push any string
       content was similar. Example hexdump of beacons below.

       Please try to connect a MQTT client to your broker and watch the
       result of your string that you have published.
       I am doing it like this and its working. You do not need to make
       any conversion on the connected client.

       Seems you are correct, the ListOfByte gets automatically decoded
       by the gateway before pushing to MQTT. I really wish there was
       proper documentation. -_-

       The listofbyte object has also lots of methods that start with
       ExtractTo like ExtractTobyte, ExtractToShort, ExtractToFloat,
       ExtractToInteger with an Endianess option. Just give the index
       in the list of bytes as a pointer from wich byte in the sequence
       you want to decode. Very easy and straightforward.
