Connecting a Yoctopuce sensor to an MQTT broker

By seb, in Measures and New stuff, april 14,2016.

To integrate a Yoctopuce sensor into an application, you can use our libraries to communicate directly with the Yoctopuce module. It's the most efficient manner, which also offers the most possibilities. But to do so, you need a minimum of programming knowledge. The other solution is to use a standard protocol and applications which support this protocol. It's the case of MQTT. We just added MQTT support into the VirtualHub and the YoctoHubs.

A new EcmaScript / JavaScript library for Yoctopuce
