Hi AB, I have my V4 BLE GW connected to uBeac Hook and can see information being passed. The issue that I have is that the infomation appears as follows:

��v�1.1.0.26�mid�aP�time�]�ip�192.168.120.125�mac�B4E62DBE9A0D�devices�&�&;jec��L�mF�$�Fc�R0�k��\��&|�@��L�mF�$�Fc�R0�k��

Can you please tell me what I need to change to have readable data sent? I have also used DiotY as a MQtt broker and receive the same format. Information above should be in raw format.

Thanks

Gateway V4 post data in [MessagePack](https://msgpack.org/) format. Please check [our wiki](https://wiki.aprbrother.com/en/User_Guide_For_AB_BLE_Gateway_V4.html#data-format).

You can also find out some parsing examples write in other languages [here](https://wiki.aprbrother.com/en/Software_AB_BLE_Gateway_V4.html#write-your-own-client)

Is what I have published above the correct format that I should be seeing in uBeac? According to all the examples I’ve seen, it isn’t and I should be seeing HEX values.

Which programming language do you use? You should just decode the message with msgpack library.
