MQTT Connector (Beta)

Domo University
  • Updated
Follow

Intro

MQTT is a publish/subscribe, extremely simple and lightweight messaging protocol, designed for constrained devices and low-bandwidth, high-latency or unreliable networks. Connect your MQTT data to Domo using the MQTT Connector. MQTT shows your real-time data from hundreds of IoT devices, and lets you set alerts to be notified when time-sensitive metrics change. MQTT is an internet protocol much like HTTP used to connect low bandwidth IoT devices.
