KIP buttons to trigger mqtt message
I link signalk to homeassistant through Matt, using the gateway plugin; works great for paths signalk is aware of.
Kip has a buttons option, how do I use that button to send an mqtt message? Or any other path for that matter, I'm not sure how to make new paths that the button will recognize.
Anyone have experience in similar?

Multiplexing Seatalk
Does signal k have a means of outputting Seatalk on a GPIO port (as it is able to take it in)? Or would I need some form of nmea0183 to Seatalk converter?

Distributed Signal K (New User)
Good afternoon!
Can I install multiple SignalK instances aboard, and have them communicate/merge data over the TCP/IP network?
My idea is that I would have a Raspi Zero 2 W at my NMEA/Seatalk bridge, and then run Signal K on a Raspi 4b somewhere else. Is this how SignalK works? Or is it more a system built around a single primary host? Is there a way to multiplex data?
I'm about to install SignalK aboard, and I'm curious about how SignalK works, and how it communicates between various devices (is it like Mqtt?). I'm new to Signal K, but I have a lot of experience with microcontrollers and Home Assistant (but not so much that I'm sure that HA runs on Node Red, though I think they're similar?) Thanks for your help!
