We took advantage of the last will and testament feature to make sure a controlled vehicle parks in a safe place whenever a connection is lost. Then, we worked with retained last will messages.
Now that we understand how to use Python to work with multiple MQTT applications that take advantage of advanced features, we will use a cloud-based ...
