MQTT Dashboard

About

This project is something I worked on my spare time and I hope it is useful for any IoT projects out there.

The main idea is to have this as a centralized dashboard that receives and sends data from/to multiple IoT modules (ESP8266 or ESP32 based) by connecting to a MQTT broker.

##V 1.1

##V 1.2

Requirements

• Qt version 5.12.7, make sure to install:
  • Desktop gcc 64 bit (or equivalent)
  • ARM (whichever corresponds to the devices you'd be using: ARM64-v8a, ARMv7 or x86), if unsure ARMv7 will work for most devices
  • Qt Charts
  • Qt virtual keyboard (useful if deploying to Raspberry Pi, must be disabled for Android)
• qtmqtt library from Qt, I am using 5.12.7 release version
• MQTT broker, mine is local on a Raspberry Pi model 3B+
