MQTT websocket allows the browser to receive messages directly from a server as new messages arrive. Favoriot platform has enabled this feature that allows data to be stored, and the same time delivered to the MQTT client that subscribe to the same topic (a bi-directional communication). This is an important feature for the following use cases.

• Display live data from a device
• Receive alert and notifications
• Communicate effectively with a mobile phone application

*The data will be delivered “as-it-is” basis.

How to configure?

Sending / publish data

Use the following configuration to setup your device to send / publish data.

Host : mqtt.favoriot.com

Websocket Port : 3000

Use your Read-write API-Key as username and password to connect to the platform.

ClientID (for some MQTT clients): Any name

Publish : {Your-API-Key}/*

Example : {Your-API-Key}/Home/Temperature

Receive / subscribe

Use to the following configuration to receive / subscribe

Subscribe : {Your-API-Key}/*

Example : {Your-API-Key}/Home/Temperature

Whenever a new data arrives at the Favoriot MQTT websocket, the same data will then be pushed to the subscriber/s.

The waste container is an essential part of waste management in Singapore and is ubiquitous. Type of waste container can be from general waste to industrial waste, there is also a waste container for recycling.

This project aims to develop a smart waste sensing where waste status detail can be managed through a waste management platform via the Favoriot platform, providing instant access to information of the waste container, such as the capacity of the container, location, odor detection, smoke, and heat detection.

This would help reduce manpower and traffic, as the lesser trip will be needed to collect waste from waste container. As a result, it increases productivity and efficiency of the operation. While reducing the carbon footprint for the environment and traffic created by the waste collector.

[Note: This project is being done by the University of Glasgow Singapore, our FAVORIOT’s University’s collaborator.]

The purpose of using the Favoriot platform is to design a smart shower device assisted with an android app which will keep track of the individual showers pattern and assess accordingly to help households save on their monthly bills. Using the Internet of Things (IoT) helps end-user to be more aware of their shower water consumption, patterns/habits, efficient shower devices and help to identify the best way to shower efficiently after analyzing a large amount of data from multiple users.

[Note: The University of Glasgow Singapore is one of Favoriot’s University partner that adopt Favoriot IoT middleware for their IoT development]
