MQTT Loupe Pro is an intuitive utility to inspect and manage MQTT traffic exchanged on an MQTT broker. Connect to any public or local MQTT broker, subscribe to topics, view details of messages being transmitted and publish new messages to any topic. Don't remember that one message or topic? Fire up the search to find it instantly using full-text search through all topics, and results updating live with new hits appearing as they arrive. With built-in JSON highlighting for viewing and sending this app is perfect for monitoring and managing Zigbee2Mqtt. JSON-aware auto-completion when publishing JSON messages makes it even easier.
