I have 3 raspberry pis setup with room assistant (one v3, one v4, and one zero w), one in the bedroom, office, and living room.

If I explore my mqtt messages though I'm only getting one topic - the topic of my phone and the distance but gives me no info to which instance is sending this message.. How am I supposed to know which device is saying my phone is x distance away?
to be sure it's not the software, in nodered I'm connected to my mqtt server and listening to
room-assistant/#
messages. I'm getting the same results there. Is the the intended outcome? I thought each device would tell you have far it was and from what device so you could use those values to figure out what room the device was in?Beta Was this translation helpful? Give feedback.
