The Digicom DRN 500 is a multifunction 4G router with built-in Modbus master and MQTT client. It reads registers from serial Modbus devices (like energy meters), publishes the data to an external MQTT broker, and ThingsBoard subscribes to that broker through an MQTT Integration.

This guide covers connecting a DRN 500 to ThingsBoard via an external MQTT broker, reading energy meter telemetry ( voltage, current, frequency, power), and visualizing it on a dashboard.
