## Beschreibung

MQTT-Plug brings live MQTT data directly into WordPress using secure WebSocket connections.

It is designed for developers, IoT experimenters, and small production deployments
that want real-time visibility without building a custom frontend.

Unlike traditional MQTT tools, MQTT-Plug focuses on **embedding live data into WordPress
pages, posts, and dashboards**, while keeping credentials safe and configuration
simple.

### Key Features

 * Connect to MQTT brokers over WS/WSS
 * Live message stream and event log
 * Topic-based subscriptions
 * Shortcode-driven embeds
 * Works with public or authenticated dashboards
 * Designed for modern MQTT backends (Mosquitto, EMQX, HiveMQ, The-Link-Builders,
   managed brokers)
 * No external Node services required
 * Lightweight; no tracking, no telemetry, no lock-in

MQTT-Plug is infrastructure-agnostic. You control your broker, topics, and data 
flow.

### Configuration

In **Settings  MQTT-Plug**, configure:

 * Broker host
 * WebSocket port
 * TLS / secure connection (WSS)
 * Username and password (if required)
 * Base topic or subscription filter
 * Debug logging (optional)

All credentials are stored using WordPress options and are never exposed to public
users unless explicitly enabled.

### Usage

Basic shortcode:

[mqtt_plug]

Optional attributes:

 * `height="520px"` – set container height
 * `class="custom-class"` – add a CSS hook
 * `mode="observer"` – server-fed or read-only views (if enabled)

Example:

[mqtt_plug height=“600px“ class=“iot-dashboard“ mode=“observer“]

### Security Notes

 * Public pages should **not** use live credentials.
 * Use observer or server-fed modes for public dashboards.
 * Always prefer WSS when exposing MQTT over the internet.
 * Rotate credentials regularly for production systems.

MQTT-Plug does not open inbound ports on WordPress and does not proxy MQTT traffic
through the server unless explicitly configured.

## FAQ

### Does this replace my MQTT broker?

No. MQTT-Plug is a viewer and frontend. You still need an MQTT broker.

### Which brokers are supported?

Any MQTT broker that supports WebSockets, including Mosquitto, EMQX, HiveMQ, and
managed services.

### Can I use this for production systems?

Yes, provided you follow standard MQTT security practices. For large-scale or multi-
tenant systems, a managed broker is recommended.

### Is JavaScript required?

Yes. MQTT-Plug uses browser-based WebSocket connections for live data.
