The developers of the RadioShuttle LoRa peer-to-peer solutions made a universal MQTT push solution. The “MQTT Push Client” app and the corresponding push server Internet service are now available and are offered by RadioShuttle.de. Practical examples are the remote control of IoT devices, e.g. light on/off or alarm system activation.The push notification then allows sending important messages such as burglary, a water problem, defective cooling, temperature statistics, etc. directly to a mobile phone or to all mobile phones of a group, e.g. a family. The MQTT Push solution can be operated universally in any MQTT environment. Messages for defined MQTT topics are automatically reported to the app users within seconds as push messages with banners, optionally with an alarm tone. App users can send predefined MQTT messages via an action menu, which can automate further processes via the MQTT server.

Dash IoT Dashboard is a professional IoT and IIoT monitoring and control platform for connecting, visualizing and managing connected equipment and devices — from a single installation to distributed device fleets. Libraries are available for seamless integration into many IoT device technologies including Arduino, ESP32, ESP8266, Raspberry Pi, BeagleBone and other Linux devices. The drag and drop design environment allows you to create beautiful dashboards without the need to write code. With highly customizable controls (widgets) you can design your dashboard to have your own “look and feel”. With a Dash account and a subscription, you can access the Dash cloud IoT platform, which includes the Dash MQTT broker, to allow the Dash IoT Dashboard to monitor and control your devices from anywhere. The Dash cloud IoT platform also provides many benefits such as push notifications, IoT device data storage, automated device discovery, device sharing and backups. The Dash IoT app can be used without an account, but will only be able to connect to IoT devices through BLE and TCP connections. The dash protocol is open, providing transparency, continuous improvement, and so you can implement your device code any way and anywhere you wish. - Connect to electronic devices with one or more BLE, TCP and Dash MQTT connections - Dash manages seamless transition between the different connection types - Share devices with other users - Provision TCP or MQTT credentials through BLE or SoftAP and even re-provision through TCP or MQTT once they are connected - Device discovery using any connection type - Highly customizable controls (colors, style, icons etc.) - Configure the Dash IoT Dashboard layout from the connected devices - Free to use for up to five BLE and TCP connections without an account - Store device data on the Dash server - Manage groups of users within an organization

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: MQTT Push Client at none against Dash IoT's 7. MQTT Push Client also leads on iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.6). Dash IoT's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 5 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
