Quick Start

Deploying an MQTT Server

To quickly deploy an MQTT server, you can use Docker. Here is an example of how to do it:

1. Install Docker if it is not already installed. Installation instructions can be found here.
2. Run the MQTT server using the following command:

docker run -d --name mosquitto -p 1883:1883 eclipse-mosquitto

This command will deploy Eclipse Mosquitto, a lightweight and popular MQTT broker.

Setting up and Running the Program

After installing the necessary components, configure and run the program. Ensure that your MQTT server is running and accessible in your home network.

Usage

To use the program, follow the setup instructions to specify the address of your MQTT server.
