4. MQTT - Topics • ckl/funroom/lifx/0 • ckl/silenceroom/airconditioner • ckl/#/lifx/0 ◦ ckl/funroom/lifx/0 ✅ ◦ ckl/funroom/tabletennislights/lifx/0 ✅ ◦ ckl/lifx/0 ❌ • ckl/funroom/+/0 ◦ ckl/funroom/lifx/0 ✅ ◦ ckl/funroom/tabletennislights/lifx/0 ❌ ◦ ckl/lifx/0 ❌
5. MQTT - Broker • Local or remote server • Open Source implementations ◦ Mosquitto ◦ VerneMQ • Paid services ◦ Amazon AWS IoT ◦ Microsoft Azure IoT ◦ HiveMQ
