MQTT Periodic Publication maxed at 10s

[Aleš Vaupotič]

Hi, team!

Just wondering what is the reasoning behind limiting the period to 100 units of 100ms here? What difference would it make if you allowed 10 or 100 times that or am I missing something here?

@NoamM     just giving this/you a bump for Aleš.

Aleš, if you don't hear anything soon, ask a direct question to the Creators:

Thanks, will do that, yes. I mean it is not breaking anything for me, it is just annoying making additional timers in ladder just for those cases, when I need to send my daily or hourly aggregations to the server.

@Aleš Vaupotič, Hi!

We have added your request to enable sending on an hourly or daily basis.

For now, please continue using timers and A-periodic publication.

Thanks for raising the issue!

Hi Cara. I'm using V1.32.98 all still see this limitation of 10s. It's very annoying to create timers only for that. Adding an hourly or daily option doesn't sound the best solution for me, why not allow an integer parameter as it is now and just remove the max 100 limitation? This would provide a much better user experience!
