Hi, have you seen Hans Tanner’s IOTT UA-cam channel ? His project also involves MQTT with Arduino M5StickC .

[@WirenwoodModelRailway]

Thank you - I saw some of his videos a while ago but haven't recently - I'll go and have a look! Regards, Chris

Why not swap the connection prefix in the UI and change the class in the XML??

[@WirenwoodModelRailway]

Sounds like a plan - I didn't even think of that!

Actually Chris, I have a few scripts that allow you to extract every object from the xml, and modify them, including connection prefixes, in a spreadsheet or, what I like to use, in VScode using the Excel Viewer extension. Super simple and there's a compile script that rebuilds the xml file for JMRI.
