How to use the MQTT mosquitto broker running locally on pc with nrf9160?

[Surya09]

Hello,

I have a mosquitto broker running on my pc. I want to connect and published to this broker through nrf9160. 

The issue that I am facing is that prj.conf file only takes host name: CONFIG_MQTT_BROKER_HOSTNAME = "test.mosquitto.org"

How can I assigned mosquitto a hostname or use the IP address of my pc in prj.conf ?

I would appreciate any help in this regard from NRF support team or the community.

Hi，

This is not a typical nRF9160 questions, not even not related to MQTT. You are basically setting up a server in your local network.

Please see networking - Access to a site on localhost from remote - Stack Overflow or search similar topic using search engines.

Best regards,
