node-red-contrib-sts-mqtt 0.0.4

Simplified version of the Node-RED MQTT node for Sense tecnic MQTT platform

npm install node-red-contrib-sts-mqtt

These nodes were modified from the original IBM node-red mqtt nodes to simplify the broker configuration in using along with the Sense Tecnic MQTT(STS-MQTT) platform. Most of the modification was intended to minimize the steps that users need to perform to connect to STS-MQTT, in which aims to provide stable MQTT connections with less connection errors.

Note: Please ensure that the username, client ID, topic all exist on STS-MQTT.
