| [mosquitto-dev] Using mosquitto broker without websockets |
Hello,
I am working on a proof of concept for an IOT device for my company. So I am really new at working with MQTT and am a little confused about using TCP or websockets. The sample device I am using publishes over TCP on port 1883. I have a connected the device to mosquiotto. Can I have a MQTT websocket client also connected to the broker, say on port 9001. Will the client on port 9001 be able to subscribe to the messages published on port 1883? Or do they both have to be on websockets or plain TCP?
I started with some sample code from Contiki which publishes MQTT messages to IBM Quickstart. Simple, works fine on my home network. However, at work I have issues with our proxy and my IT dept is not keen on opening up the network. I can't set proxy info on the sample code without updating it to websockets. So my thought is to either route the message to mosquitto and have a client locally that visualizes the data, or use the mosquitto as a bridge. So, Do you know of any app/web clients sample code that can connect to the broker and display the data locally? Can I use mosquitto to bridge to IBM Quickstart? Can I set proxy information for the bridge? How do I do that?
I appreciate any help you can give me.
Best regards
Lacrecia Ruman-Roe
