  • Copy a link that saves your chart selections and filters for sharing or later use.

Work with MQTT data

  • Send a value and message, or enter your own message.
  • Choose from suggested topics or enter a custom topic.
  • See the MQTT connection status and any connection errors.
  • Pause and resume incoming messages without losing them.
