MQTT Subscription Question #18

Closed domahoneyii closed 8 years ago

domahoneyii commented 9 years ago

How do I expose "tcp://iot.eclipse.org:1883" to the external network? Do I need to use a MQTT broker like mosquitto?

Thanks for the help,

Dan

Could you explain in more detail what you want to achieve?

domahoneyii commented 9 years ago

The lab that I am building is using flowthings.io for data collection. I want flowthings to subscribe to macchina MQTT output.

Dan,

it seems that if you want to connect flowthings.io, you'll need to run your own MQTT broker like mosquitto. You'll have to run it on a server that's reachable over the internet, as the flowthings.io client needs to connect to it. For first testing, using a public test server like tcp://test.mosquitto.org:1883 or tcp://iot.eclipse.org:1883 will probably work as well. Of course things would be much easier if flowthings.io had their own MQTT broker. Use the macchina.io MQTT client to publish data to a topic of your choice on the MQTT broker, then configure the flowthings.io MQTT client to subscribe to that topic.

Thanks for the response. That is what I figure; just making sure.

Macchina.io is a great product; I psyched to see all the different ways I can use it.
