CHAPTER 6: MQTT MONITORING
Example #2: MQTT Explorer configuration with online broker
In this example, which uses a public MQTT test server from HIveMQ, a gateway with a Temperature and Humidity
sensor is connected.
On the webpage, the MQTT connection settings appear as follows:
MQTT connection settings
Host: broker.hivemq.com
TCP Port: 1883
Configure the MQTT server settings on the AlertWerks Plus Gateway:
Click on Enable MQTT.
1.
2. Click on Broadcast sensor values periodically, and set it to 1 minute interval.
3. Since the HiveMQ test broker doesn't use SSL or authentication, don't enable SSL, and do not specify a password
(leave it blank). You may use any value for the username, but it will not be used. However, since the AlertWerks
Plus Gateway's WebUI form requires a username parameter to save the settings, we will use the value admin in our
example.
4. Enter the connection details for MQTT Server #1: broker.hivemq.com and default port 1883.
5. Scroll down and click on the Save button.
