Which manufacturer is used for the Topic? #

The manufacturer used in the topic is determined based on the following priority order. If a value is not defined, the next option in the sequence is used:

1. Manufacturer: The manufacturer tied to the robot.
2. Custom Manufacturer: A custom manufacturer defined per vehicle by the user.
3. Default Manufacturer: If neither of the above is defined, the default value “meili” is used.

By default, the manufacturer is set to “meili”, unless explicitly specified otherwise.

Vehicle serial number #

By default, each vehicle is assigned a serial number corresponding to its internal UUID within the Meili system. However, users can override this default by entering the actual serial number of the vehicle. This can be done on the Edit Vehicle page.

Note: The serial number has to be unique! Duplicate serial numbers in different vehicles will be rejected on creation.
