Managing MQTT subscriptions Examples

Table of contents

Topics

To subscribe to messages of a specific device, a combination of baseTopic and a device topic must be used. Reference to image below. The baseTopic can be fetched from netFIELD-API (View examples or swagger of API).

The following diagram represents the workflow and structure of topics inside the netFIELD-Data-Service system.

Topic behaviour

To subscribe to a topic and start receiving its messages, you can do that from the netFIELD platform or locally on the device using the netFIELD App Platform Connector.
