Implementations
| Device |
|---|
| An instance of a physical piece of hardware is called a device. For example, a car, an Arduino/ESP8266 or a coffee machine. It publishes Nodes and Properties to the MQTT broker. |
| Controller |
|---|
| A controller does not announce anything to the MQTT broker, but discovers and interacts with Devices. There can be more than one Controller interacting with the different devices on the same broker. |
