MQTT stands for Message Queuing Telemetry Transport. 📨
It’s a lightweight messaging protocol designed for low-bandwidth, high-latency, or unreliable networks—perfect for things like IoT (Internet of Things) devices, sensors, mobile applications, and more. Its brilliance lies in simplicity:
- 🔁 Publish/Subscribe model – Devices can publish messages to a topic, and others can subscribe to topics they care about.
- ⚡ Minimal overhead – Efficient even with very limited resources, making it ideal for embedded systems.
- 📶 Reliable communication – Includes different levels of delivery assurance (e.g., “at most once,” “at least once,” “exactly once”).
TipControl comes with MQTT pre-installed by default. Once your device is connected to Wi-Fi, you can configure the MQTT driver.
TipControl also offers a free cloud service. To activate it, simply enter the password you used when registering. Your username is the cloud user name you registered with. If you only have one user, you may leave the “User” field blank.
