Hey there @nayelyz
Thank you very much for the reply and clarification. On the second note, the Awair local API has nothing to do with the MQTT as it stands in my case. The plan is to pull the Awair data via a local API call and decode it and emit the events. Then, record the states and if they change by a specific amount, encode the new data into a json string and send it to the MQTT broker as a payload message.
On the first note, I have gone ahead and convert the .crt into .pem. However, it threw a 504 Gateway time out error when I tried to install the new package into the device. I wonder if you might know what’s going on?
