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?
