Fire up a Re-Mote

  • Compile the MQTT demo example from ../../../cc2538dk/mqtt-demo.c following the instructions of the README.md therein.
  • Program your RE-Mote.
  • If you are running mosquitto with -v, a few seconds later you should see the Re-Mote connect, subscribe and start publishing.

Deploy your Node Red

  • Install and run Node Red as per the instructions
  • Open mqtt-remote-demo.json from this directory with your favourite text editor, select all and copy.
  • Once you have the opened the Node Red page, click the menu icon on the top right and go to Import -> Clipboard. Paste the copied text.
  • Double click the MQTT input from Re-Mote box on the top left. Set Broker IP and port to those corresponding to your running mosquitto.
