       Beacon Question
       By: kbrooking Date: November 28, 2016, 7:55 pm
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       As per the Beaconing white paper, when sending beacons over
       MQTT, the topic defaults to
       “mcThings/beacon/{GatewayUID}/{DeviceUID}”. Is this correct? We
       do not need to set the topic as we do when we use Lplan.Publish?
       If so, could I then subscribe to “mcThings/beacon” and get
       beacons from all GW and modules?

       The topic is programmed in the gateway itself and described in
       page 7 of the white papers and is correct. See also the example
       on page 8.
       You can use wildcards to subscribe to all gateways and devices.
       Google "MQTT subscribe wildcards" and you will find a lot of
       examples.

       Checkout my beacon_decode.py program for an example of one way
       of reading/decoding beacons via mqtt or UDP socket.
       This decodes my beacon data format, but you can use any format
       you like, it's just 4 bytes.
