mqtt-panel

A simple web interface which is able to subscribe to a MQTT topic and display the information.

The screenshot shows an example how to keep track on what's going in your apartment or your house. It's not about controlling, this setup is about observing various states.

The web page is using bootstrap with jQuery.

Prerequisites/Installation

Get the files

Clone the mqtt-panel repository

git clone [email protected]:fabaff/mqtt-panel.git

###Dependencies mqtt-panel depends on a couple of additional pieces:

• node.js
• mqtt
• socket.io
• firmata if using with an Arduino

npm install mqtt socket.io sqlite

MQTT broker/server

A MQTT broker/server is needed to run on localhost on port 1883.

• mosca - A multi-transport MQTT broker for node.js
• mosquitto - An Open Source MQTT v3.1 Broker

Running mqtt-panel

1. Make sure that your MQTT broker/server is running and listening.
2. Launch ./runner.sh which will start the node server incl. the web socket on port 3000.
3. Run the mqtt-galileo-sensors program in the Galileo Board, or publish MQTT messages manually.
4. Open index.html with your browser.

For manually sending messages to your MQTT broker/server you can use mosquitto_pub from mosquitto.

$ mosquitto_pub -h localhost -d -t home/solar -m "100"

To check if the messages are are ok, subscribe to the topic home/# with mosquitto_sub.

$ mosquitto_sub -h localhost -d -t home/#
