HelloIoT is a MQTT dashboard application. You can use HelloIoT as a MQTT client application to publish and subscribe to topics or you can use HelloIoT as a client platform to create your own dashboard. HelloIoT is a Java multiplatform application and it can run on Windows, MacOS, Linux or Android.

To run HelloIoT you need to install a MQTT broker or you can use a public MQTT broker. Public MQTT brokers can be good for testing or prototyping purposes. There is a list of MQTT brokers in the MQTT Community Wiki, you can choose the broker that better fits your needs.

HelloIoT is developed and tested using Mosquitto but it will also work with other MQTT Brokers like HiveMQ, EMQTT, Moquette...
