Activity Steps

In this activity, we are going to implement the dataflow by configuring a TPX Connection and then updating the configuration of the device to porperly use the TPX dadaflow and select the appropriate payload decoder (steps 1-5). We will then learn how to monitor the flow of data and the status of the connection to the MQTT broker (steps 6-8). Even though monitoring looks trivial, it is essential to know how to “follow the footsteps of the data” in case of any issue.

Please notice that no activity is required to set up the MQTT Backend service since wenwill use a test MQTT Broker.
