I've learned a lot about MQTT while setting up Home Assistant, and Mosquitto is a pretty important part of my Home Assistant installation. I use it to control all of my Zigbee devices via "zigbee2mqtt" (buttons, switch modules, etc.), and also a smart kettle running Tasmota [1]. I also added a little patch to Tasmota [2] so that my kettle responds with `418 I'm a teapot` [3] [1] https://tasmota.github.io/docs https://tasmota.github.io/docs [2] https://github.com/ndbroadbent/Tasmota/commit/bbcf57faffbf5b7fab5c54f395b7b720f8df50b6 https://github.com/ndbroadbent/Tasmota/commit/bbcf57faffbf5b...

Prime use-case for HTTP 418!

  People always want that for teapots. I have a device that uses it as an indication it’s internal data shouldn’t be trusted (some unknown error). I have it respond with 418 as “I taste colors and the government spies on you with the ground in your house wiring”. I like it for that more than actual tea pots which is far too on the nose.

    What kind of device might have internal data that cannot be trusted?

Cool stuff and inspiring. Have a website or GitHub about your home automation projects? I checked out your blog, and the raspberry pi microwave was pretty sweet.
