MQTTX VS Thingsboard

This section will introduce how to use Neuron to collect data from FINS TCP devices, upload the collected data to EMQX, and view it using MQTTX.

Next, we open MQTTX, create a new connection, copy the JWT output when JWKS Endpoint starts to the Password field, and click Connect in the upper right corner to connect.

Again, we can use MQTTX or any other MQTT client to publish MQTT data to the demo/sensor topic. Those data will be processed by the rule. For example, we publish the following data to the topic with a 30 seconds interval, and the two minutes data is like this:

Among these, the MQTTX open-source project stands out as a fast-growing client tool that offers a modern chat-style interface, full MQTT 5.0 support, and a rich set of features that provides a great user experience. With three versions available - Desktop, Command Line, and Browser - MQTTX can fulfill your MQTT testing requirements in diverse scenarios. Undoubtedly, MQTTX is among the top MQTT client tools of 2023.

Here are a few alternatives: http://mqtt-explorer.com/ https://mqttx.app/

Next, we will demonstrate the use of Clean Session with the open-source cross-platform MQTT 5.0 desktop client tool - MQTT X.

MQTT connections are initiated from the client to the broker. Any application or device running the MQTT client library is an MQTT client. The MQTT Broker handles client connection, disconnection, subscribe (or unsubscribe) requests, and routes messages up on receiving publish requests.

MQTT X is an open-source cross-platform desktop client. It is easy to use and provides comprehensive MQTT 5.0 functionality, feature testing, and runs on macOS, Linux and Windows. It also provides command line and browser versions to meet MQTT testing needs in different scenarios.

In this post, we are not going to dig into the programming SDKs. We will try to demonstrate MQTT retained messages using the open-source cross-platform MQTT 5.0 desktop client - MQTT X.

Use MQTT 5.0 client tool - MQTT X as another client to test message sending & receiving.

Until recently I was still using TB v3.2.1, now I've set about updating the installation to the latest version. I proceeded as described at https://github.com/thingsboard/thingsboard/tree/master/docker:

You might find something more attuned to that use case to be more helpful out of the box (like thingsboard.io) but if you're committed to django, set up an API endpoint to receive json updates ('events') sent from the arduino.

Introduction：As a 100% open source IoT platform that can be hosted as a SaaS or PaaS solution, Thingsboard can provide device management, data collection, processing and visualization for your IoT project. The standard protocols that provide device connectivity such as MQTT, CoAP, and HTTP are all available on ThingsBoard. In addition, it supports cloud and local deployment and provides more than 30 customizable components that allow you to build end-user custom dashboards for most IoT cases.

Then host a ThingsBoard server and use the HTTP API to push data from the device. You can send alerts with Pushover.

ThingsBoard is an open-source IoT platform for data collection, processing, visualization and device management. It supports device connectivity via protocols, such as MQTT, CoAP and HTTP, and supports both cloud and private deployments. Deliver, monitor and control your IoT entities in a secure way using rich server-side APIs that define the relationships between your devices, assets, customers, or any other entities. Collect and store telemetry data in a scalable and fault-tolerant manner, visualize your data with built-in or custom widgets and flexible dashboards, and share the Dashboard interface with your customers.

The company I work for uses https://thingsboard.io and the team from Ukraine that built it are awesome and the company is still responding even though they are going through this hell of a war.
