The beauty of simple

If you have mosquitto clients installed on a computer you can write

mosquitto_sub -h test.mosquitto.org -p 1883 -t vscp/#
and the sensors in my house will tell you that they are alive and report what they see. A lot of information. But if you change the command to
mosquitto_sub -h test.mosquitto.org -p 1883 -t vscp/25:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:0D:02:00:01/20/#

you will instead see when I walk into and out the door through my office.

If you dare you can write
mosquitto_sub -h test.mosquitto.org -p 1883 -t vscp/25:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:0D:02:00:02/1040/6/2/6/#

and you will get the temperature at our entrance. Or write

mosquitto_sub -h test.mosquitto.org -p 1883 -t vscp/25:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:0D:02:00:02/1040/6/2/0/#
to get the temperature in my office. Or if you are more interested in the outside temperature you enter
mosquitto_sub -h test.mosquitto.org -p 1883 -t vscp/FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:61:00:08:01:92:AF:A8:10/10/6/16/0/#

And you will get the temperature at the south side of our house. And yes, you understand and interpret the temperature value correct if you are in Europe or in some other place of the world. It is that easy. That is tru for other measurements to

But there is a risk you go crazy if you start to dig into all of that info. After all it is to simple to work in the first place…
