Great post Snijdor! Thanks for your persistence and a great job writing this doc. I was able to get cloudMQTT and freeboard.io talking with your doc.
Sailoog - you asked about using freeboard.io to send MQTT to OPenplotter and trigger actions. I finally got the android app that you suggetsed - MQTT Dashboard set up, and can send MQTT to Openplotter and initiate actions. I have a PIR set up detect motion and trigger the camera. I setup a Dropbox upload and sending me an email - but that is a heavy load for the weak/slow wireless service at the boat. So now I have the PIR triggering MQTT to let me know that my boat has visitors. Working good and light weight. I never could get the messages sent from cloudMQTT to be recognized/received at Openplotter.
If sure would like to find an iphone MQTT client with alerts - anybody know of one?
