Submitting data through MQTT

The openSenseMap is able to receive measurements through its internal MQTT client. There is no openSenseMap MQTT broker, connections are made with a 13 character long client id with osem_ as prefix.

Connection settings must be configured per senseBox.

The following settings can be made:
