Hi,

You will find all the infos required by the MQTT module in your IBM Watson console.

Follow the tutorial here: https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/services/IoT?topic=iot-platform-getting-started#getting-started

In Step 2 Connect your device, it explains:

 

URL: org_id.messaging.internetofthings.ibmcloud.com

→ This is the Broker host

Port:

  • 1883
  • 8883 (encrypted)
  • 443 (websockets)

 

Device ID: d:_org_id:device_type:deviceid

→ The broker organisation

User name: use-token-auth

Password: Authentication token

Event topic format: iot-2/evt/_event_id/fmt/formatstring

→ Topic name

 

If you use the uncrypted port (1883) you can set the certificate options to ‘empty’.

For the timeout, set the value that suits you the best. If I’m correct, it is in seconds.

 

Hope it will help you!
