If this option is left blank then no updates will be sent on the STATE topic.
Group IDs
AUTOSOL Bridge has the ability to selectively subscribe to only certain Group IDs. If Group IDs are present in the list, AUTOSOL Bridge will only subscribe to topics that contain those Group IDs. If no Group ID’s are present in the list, AUTOSOL Bridge will subscribe to any Sparkplug B message coming from the broker.
Node IDs
