  2. Check the log to see if the connection was successful or not.

  3. To test your server add messages under a topic and publish it.

  4. Other devices in the server that have subscribed to the topic will get your messages.

  5. You can receive messages by subscribing to a topic that another device in the server transmits.

  6. Monitor the log for results.

Sending messages

Write your message in the ”Message” input field under the ”Communication” tab and click on the ”Publish” button. Type in the ”Topic” input field to send a message with a topic. The message you send will be displayed on the ”Logs” pane.

Subscriptions

Troubleshooting

  2. Do not add invalid/incorrect authorization tokens before you connect to a MQTT server.
