## What is MQTT Manager?

MQTT Manager is a general-purpose application to read and write topics on a MQTT broker through a friendly interface based on widgets.
The application is organized in 4 tabs and each tab can contain any number of widgets. Widgets are chosen between the available ones:

* Display: Shows a numeric value or text (scrolling it)
* Gauge: Shows a numeric value over a graded scale 
* LED: Shows the value of a topic as a LED on or off
* Graph: Shows the values of a topic as a graph
* Switch: Writes a value to the topic depending on the switch position
* Secure Switch: Similar to the Switch Widget. To operate the switch, the protection has to be remove with a click on the yellow bands though
* Switch & LED: Writes a value to a topic and shows its value as a LED on or off
* Knob: Writes a value to a topic proportional to the position of the knob
* Slider: Writes a value to a topic proportional to the position of the slider
* Push Button: Writes a value to a topic when the button is pushed and another value when it is released
* Text: Writes the value entered by the user to a topic

The application includes:

* a complete user manual
* documentation to learn the MQTT basics
* the documentation to install a private MQTT broker on:
      * Raspberry Pi
      * Linux
      * macOS
* documentation to use the Adafruit IO service instead of your MQTT broker. This allows to get started in a few minutes, without installing additional software 
* documentation includes how to configure a local mosquitto broker with authentication, using SSL and using client certificates for users/devices identification and authentication

* Arduino ESP32, Arduino MEGA, Arduino Nano 33 IoT and MKR1000 sketches to create a MQTT node which sends data to the application and can be controlled by it
* Raspberry Pi Pico W micropython script to create a MQTT node which sends data to the application and can be controlled by it

## Key features

- Widget-based MQTT topic interaction
- Display, Gauge, LED, Graph widgets
- Switch, Knob, Slider, Push Button widgets
- Secure Switch and Switch & LED widgets
- Comprehensive MQTT and broker setup documentation
- Example sketches for Arduino and Raspberry Pi Pico W

### 2/5 — So much potential

*2020-09-05*

This app seems at first sight to have lots of potential. The use of scenes and wigits is a great idea if it could be delivered.

The reality is the editing of wigits within  the scenes is easy, but is lost when you change from scene to scene, making the experience a complete waste of time. Crashes are frequent and I just wonder how this app is charging , when in reality it is too flakey to use.

Let’s hope, the next update can deliver features promised, otherwise its time to get your money back !

### 5/5 — Awesome but

*2018-09-24*

Please allow to make widgets bigger, the pages are cramped and the text on the widgets gets glitchy
