B4R Question MQTT - send data as plain text

[barx]

Hi
I'm struggling to figure how to publish data to a broker as plain text (required by another device)
The publish method expects Payload() As Byte. Sending text as a String is therefor ok.

But what about Floats and Ints?

I've wrote this sub to try cast them to String

Sub ToString(Obj As Object) As String
    Dim s As String = Obj
    Return s
End Sub

Works ok for Float, but crashes the ESP8266 with Int.

Any tips? I'm it will be something simple that I'm missing.
