Important Considerations

MQTT Broker Configuration

The mqtt_server variable must be changed to the actual IP address of your MQTT broker. For example, if you're using AWS EC2, use the public IP address of your EC2 instance.
The port variable should be set to the actual port number of your MQTT broker. While MQTT typically uses port 1883, this may vary depending on your broker's configuration.
Set the topic_pub variable to the topic name you want to publish to. This defines the subject or category of your messages.
Configure the topic_msg variable with the actual message content you wish to publish. This is the payload that will be sent to the specified topic.

Additional Considerations

Adjust firewall settings to allow external access to the MQTT broker if required.
For enhanced security, it's recommended to set allow_anonymous to false and implement user authentication.
When connecting from external networks, ensure you're using the public IP address.
If using cloud services like EC2, open the necessary port (typically 1883) for MQTT communication in the security group settings.
Depending on your network environment, port forwarding may be necessary.
Regularly update your broker software and client libraries to ensure you have the latest security patches and features.
