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 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.

The Aim of this project is to identify the security risk/threats/vulnerabilities of industry 4.0 and come up with a solution to mitigate those identified risk. For now, we will be using a Bosch environmental sensor xdk110, to compare the result of the data that are collected (in clear and encrypted) and how efficient will the sensor be.

The data will then be stored on Favoriot platform for analysis and visualization
