[hide]Overview
Redqueen is a way to pass messages between all the iot devices we have at the shop in a way that is documented and expected.
Network Setup
We currently have two mqtt brokers setup, one that is local to the shop and is wide open for anything to send/receive. The other broker is located on our remote webserver and is exposed publicly with SSL and a username/password, meaning you will need to ask an Admin for access. All messages are mirrored between the brokers.
Local only Available from outside -------------- -------------------------- | iot server | <----> | remote.makerslocal.org | -------------- --------------------------
Messages
Messages will be send in 1st person. As in "I (door) changed my status to open.". This is different than "Hey you, door....OPEN!".
MQTT Info
When connecting to mqtt be sure to set your clientid to something useful like 'rqirc'. This will help to determine who is causing problems if/when they do.

Six Synapse RM-150 wireless temperature sensors are placed around the building that check in every five minutes.
