i found it helpful to configure the broker so that it publishes using websockets. then you can use a web browser to see what is happening. this is especially useful when you're trying to decode someone else's topic hierarchy, or to figure out why your own topics are not showing up where you think they should be.
the hivemq folks wrote one of the first ones, which many people have now embedded: http://www.hivemq.com/blog/full-featured-mqtt-client-browser http://www.espert.io/mqtt/index.html but many other browser-based clients are out there: http://mitsuruog.github.io/what-mqtt/ https://www.cloudmqtt.com/docs-websocket.html if you're using the mosquitto broker, you'll have to compile it with websocket compatibility. but once you do that, enabling websockets is just a matter of making the broker listen on the websocket port. m -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
