Design IoT Dashboards with MQTT Studio: Quick and Easy Visualization

Hey there! Just launched MQTT Studio – a tool to make cool dashboards for IoT stuff. It's easy and fast. Check it out https://mqtt.studio/. Tell me what you think!

Nice tool! I can see a ton of uses for this especially given that MQTT is fast emerging as the default for a number of IoT apps. Couple of things 1. Do you plan to offer this as a tool that could be embedded within other platforms. A number of enterprises already have a dashboard tool and dont want another one. 2. How would this work for someone who is using mqtt but needs some calculations done or related metrics to be inferred before displaying on the graph.

  Hello, Currently I don't know enterprise needs and requirements. Only worked with hobby enthusiasts and small businesses. But I'll keep my radar open for what we can offer for enterprise. Sadly, right now the dashboard just receives the data and works with it. It's not doing special calculations or such, just simply formatting for charts. But I understand the need and it can be really great feature. Thank you so much :^)

Looks very nice. It's not clear what this actually is. Does it generate a Javascript app that does all the work in the browser? Does it have a server-side component? Which host actually establishes the MQTT connection? Can it only talk to MQTT servers that are publicly available on the Internet?

  Hi, Yeah, I agree with you. I'll be updating the homepage to explain what it really can offer and does. Maybe some example templates or projects that publicly available without login / register. It's a javascript app (React to be exact) and already created. Every user is technically using the same app but their projects are private to them. Server side is for MVP purposes handled through Firebase. If product catches some attention I have plans to create it's own backend for better performance and functionality. MQTT Studio requires you to use publicly available MQTT broker. Sadly right now it can't access to private brokers. So MQTT studio is connecting to broker it does not creates a broker or host. Thank you for your interest and good questions :^)

I like it. It looks like it's mostly geared towards hobbyists at the moment. As others have said enterprises already have dashboarding solutions and don't want to add another one. The big cloud providers also offer some kind of MQTT broker (Iot hub, iot core, ...) and they also offer analytics solutions. It's not exactly the same what you did but it's probably more enterprise ready. One use case I would see for myself: Home automation. MQTT is usually at the core of most home automation solutions as well and I could create a custom interface with mqtt.studio to interact with these solutions.
