Installation

While installation of MQTTDevice is very easy you need some prerequisite.

Prerequisite CraftbeerPi4

The installation and configuration of CraftbeerPi4 is described here: https://openbrewing.gitbook.io/craftbeerpi4_support/readme/server-installation. Version 4.0.1.11 or above is required. Earlier versions do not support MQTT actors.

Prerequisite MQTT Broker

The MQTT protocol is used for communication between CraftbeerPi and MQTTDevice. Sensors send temperature values ​​to CraftbeerPi and CraftbeerPi sends commands to actors (e.g. switch agitator on / off). The MQTT protocol requires a MQTT broker. Please follow the instructions on craftbeerpi gitbook to install and configure a MQTT broker like mosquitto: https://openbrewing.gitbook.io/craftbeerpi4_support/readme/craftbeerpi-4-server/mqtt-connectivity
