if this is of interest to the community, we would like to make a pr out of our custom fork: https://github.com/fledge-iot/fledge-south-mqtt/compare/develop...zaphiro-technologies:fledge-south-mqtt:extract-asset-from-message-or-topic happy to adapt the code to your suggestions, basically the idea is to support extraction of the asset 1. from a topic pattern. e.g., the value of `+` in `measurement/+/value`) 2. from the payload e.g.: ```json { "asset": "my-asset-id-2", "readings": { "current": 10.29, "voltage": 23.82 } } ```
