Can Tago Core do client? Or is exclusively a Broker?

Does Tago Core access MyQSL lite directly or does it need a scrpit?

Hey @froy,

TagoCore connects to the MySQL and SQLite databases directly, you do not need any external scripts to connect to any of the databases.

If you are planning on using the MySQL Plugin, all you need to do is set the connection settings in the Plugin Configuration Page.

The SQLite plugin is built-in and pre-configured, you do not need to adjust its settings in order to use it.

TagoCore will automatically save its resources (actions, devices, data, etc.) in one of the databases. You can select which database to use in the settings page of TagoCore.

Hi froy, you don’t tell us what kind of broker you are talking about, I assume you are talking about the MQTT plugin.

Yes, you can create a new plugin to use TagoCore as MQTT client if this was your question.

TagoCore is extremely extensible, so the MQTT at the store is a plugin itself, it’s not a direct part of TagoCore.
