There are two ways to not use the Sparkplug namespace when publishing messages via Transmission.

1. Publish your own free-form messages via Python scripting as noted previously above: [MQTT Publishing via MQTT Transmission - MQTT Modules for Ignition 8.x - Confluence](https://docs.chariot.io/display/CLD80/MQTT+Publishing+via+MQTT+Transmission)
2. Use a UNS Transmitter. See here for details: [Using MQTT Modules in a UNS Architecture - MQTT Modules for Ignition 8.x - Confluence](https://docs.chariot.io/display/CLD80/Using+MQTT+Modules+in+a+UNS+Architecture)
