Hi guys, can you advise how can I familiarize with TagoIO platform if the basic functionality as MQTTbroker is not available for free? Simply testing my mqtt devices with you platform is not possible…

Hi Nautiner,

I’m sorry if it seemed like it was not possible to connect your devices using MQTT in the free tier. You can easily do it by following this tutorial: Connecting your MQTT Broker to TagoIO

As you mentioned in your text, our MQTT broker is not available for free accounts. However, by following the tutorial above, you can easily use an external MQTT broker like HiveMQ or EMQX; they even offer a free version.

Please note that we recommend using external MQTT brokers because they offer all the functionalities an MQTT broker should have. Our broker is a simpler version designed solely for receiving data. For instance, it doesn’t support retained messages.

I hope this helps!

Thanks Phil for the advice. However, it still becomes quite complex alternative. Moreover, sending downlink messages without having public IP exposed mqttrelay seems to be impossible…
