Eve app users can also add custom characteristics to display any arbitrary numeric information.

Due to the complexity, this was intentionally left out of the plugin config UI, so this can only be configured manually.

{
  "info": 
  "mqtt": 
  "customCharacteristics": [
    {
      "uuid": "string",
      "name": "string",
      "getTopic": "string",
      "units": "string",
    }
    … // Topic & Values
  ],
}
Field Description
uuid A unique string (recommend using a (UUID generator)[https://www.uuidgenerator.net/])
name The display name for the characteristic
getTopic The topic which provides the numeric value
units The units which will be displayed at the end of the numeric value

Since customCharacteristics is an array, you may define as many custom characteristics as you wish.
