#48 Connect ESP8266 with the world (and IFTT) through MQTT and Adafruit.io (Tutorial)

In this video I connect my ESP8266 to the world. I build a MQTT connection to Adafruit.io and from there, to ,my IPAD, to IFTT and to a node-red instance hosted on IBM bluemix service. I also show why this is one of the simplest concepts to solve the connection problem from behind your firewall to the internet.

For my tests, I used three different MQTT client libraries:

They are all included in the Arduino IDE.

For your convenience, I posted the sketches I used for my tests to github. If you replace the credentials (and the feeds) you should be able to start with MQTT.
