Can someone explain the other iot devices using the same broker? I tried cross referencing the feature list, information about the user base, kickstarter origin and flutter app with some search results and I’m pretty sure that I found the company and product in question. But they don’t (publicly) produce iot devices? Sooo I’m wondering if different companies are streaming their data into a shared sink and why they would do that?
- rglover 8mo agoThey were scanning BLE so any device using that protocol in range would be picked up. Similar to seeing your neighbor's Wi-Fi router from your couch.
- treesknees 8mo agoThat has nothing to do with the MQTT broker.
- rglover 8mo ago> The first thing Claude did was scan for BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) devices nearby. It found mine among 35 devices in range, connected, and mapped the interface -- two data channels. One for sending commands, one for streaming data.

- treesknees 7mo agoI’ve read the article. Sounds like you don’t understand the difference between MQTT and Bluetooth.
