ctrlX Core as MQTT client

[Babar]

Hello,

We know that the ctrlx CORE can be an MQTT broker.  However, we need a device that can be an MQTT client.  Can the ctrlX CORE be configured to be an MQTT client that connects to a broker in a cloud?

Any ideas?

Hi Babar,

easiest way is using NodeRED for this.

Find attached some sample flows. (rename to .json)
